Had a sazsrack, which I can say was expertly made with care and detail. The drink menu is exceptional though a bit eclectic, which I love. *Update* came back after a couple years and the place is as good as ever. I ordered a La Paloma and a pisco punch. Both were superbly made absolutely delicious. My only issue was that it was so busy at the time I entered, there was only one bartender serving a slew of people and it took a really long time to get to me. The problems of a really good place.

Awesome bar in downtown San Rafael. We’ve been coming here since they just opened and we always felt amazed by all their drinks! Wonderful choices of cocktail, incredible list of beers on tab and their hot drinks are super tasty, too! The vibe and decor are very nice also. The staff is very friendly.

The mahogany bar is breathtaking and has been there since 1906. Drinks are expensive and top shelf. Nice mix of little nooks to have a clear conversation, tables for groups and bar seating.

We came for golden hour which was 9 cocktails and 1 off some beers. Service was great! Friendly and attentive staff was just what we were looking for. The decor is great, the bar stands out more than the photos do justice. The booths are nice too, have that old school vibe. Good place for date night as you can have some privacy in the booth and it's not noisy. The food is from across the street at Revel and Roost. Hope to make this our regular place!

Beautiful spot for expertly crafted cocktails! Had great conversation with Manny and Ethan as well. I’ll be back when I’m in the area!

Three of our drinks were amazing and the other two very good. Impressive beer list although we stuck to cocktails. The bartenders were fast and friendly and obviously highly skilled. The ambience can’t be beat with a classic California aesthetic and fun music played at a reasonable level. Loved the place and can hardly wait to make it back.

Very nice cocktail bar located in San Rafael. They don’t serve food here but they allow you to bring outside food. Very festive bar with great bartenders that help you figure out what drink you’re looking for. They have booths, tables, and couch seating. I opted for the seasonal hot toddy, my friends got an espresso martini and the bartenders choice/whiskey. Parking is fairly easy as there is street parking but can get busy. It was pretty busy for a Thursday night when we came by. They also have good drafts too. Would recommend if you’re looking for a nice drink while in San Rafael. The workers were super friendly and recommended other bars in the area too.
