Originally came here for the speed dating event which was exceptional. Came back for cocktails and excellent service. This place is exceedingly friendly, the cocktails are well balanced yet dynamic. 2nd visit was on a Karoke night and I had a blast. Found myself singing with this 60+ year old drummer named Doug. Dude knew every song and it was a riot. Gene, one of the owners treated me to a shot of baijiu. He's a dedicated professional and works diligently to make everyone happy. The bartenders Kat, Patrick, Youngji, and Max make insanely well composed drinks. Never too sweet, or citric, always have something extra that breaks from the mundane recipe they may be riffing off of. I can safely say they're both honoring the "classics", but also evolving them. Notch the chef is always on point. His food easily matches the high end cocktails served. His boudin balls are fire, and the "executive" is some of the best late night food I've had. Ricky is hilarious, a classy professional, and elevates the environment deeply. He also has some of the best recommendations for food in Chinatown. Patrick's Jungle Bird is ahead of it's time and should be studied. Bartenders should make pilgrimages to try it and the Eeyore's Requiem. Kat is the queen of agave. She's also very motherly for a bartender and ensures that everyone's being kind to her, each other, and that the smiles continue throughout the night. Her drinks are incredible, complex, and always go down quickly. Youngji's a wildcard. She made me the best Aviation i've had so far as a dealers choice. She also bravery delves into extremely complicated drink recipes with precision. I'm often quite surprised how she takes delicate ingredient's and doesn't crush them other overpowering flavors. I've only had Max's drinks once but they were beyond what I expected from a seasoned SF vet. Many OG craft folks have let their torch extinguish and have stopped trying at the bars of high reputation. Max seems like the guy who just keeps grinding despite his industry peers falling off in total effort. He also has great bar recommendations that I look forward to exploring. Room 212 quickly became my most frequented bar in SF. It epitomizes what hospitality should be and naturally is to them, unpretentious, dedicated, non judgmental, guiding those less seniored to make great food and drink decisions, a melting pot of folks of all political leanings, races, but with unifying principles binding them all. The average 212 customers are some of the hardest working people in the area. That also have enough glow and charisma to desire a very insightful conversation. Truly a heart and hub of the city. One that all the owners, staff, and community members that enjoy it can be proud of.

We stumbled upon this bar while walking around in San Francisco. Great ambiance, awesome bartenders and delicious drinks! The bartenders have such a passion for mixology and do such a wonderful job tailoring drinks to exactly what you’re looking for! The truffle popcorn is phenomenal and I highly suggest ordering it when you pop in! You won’t be disappointed! This place is a great hidden gem and we will absolutely be going again next time we are in San Francisco!!
