Old school, decent cigar selection. Great Japanese whiskey. What else is there?! It 's definitely a go to

Nice classy bar in Fidi that is open late even on the weekdays. There's always some people in so it is not entirely dead like most places in FiDi during the...

Where else can you go in San Francisco and smoke a cigar (your own even) inside a charming bar? No where, actually. This is a one of a kind. This place is special and the perfect escape for anyone trying to get away from the day, week, year, or era. As mentioned, you can bring your own cigar, lighter, and cutter, but they can provide all of these two. They have a great cigar selection. The drinks are good too, the rotating bar tenders know a thing or two when it comes to mixing. The wine list is decent as well, featuring some local and international wines. The people watching fantastic. This place is on the smaller side, so if you’re in a big group (more than 6), don’t expect to find the perfect seating arrangement but you’ll be accommodated as best as possible. Also it’s a given but just in case you’ll need to be okay with cigar smoke (although they do their best to vent it). Also, also your vaccination card will be checked.

Lots of friendly people here to meet. Bartender is friendly and knowledgeable of all cocktails.. selection of drinks is on par with other bars. Guests are behaved. Went here 5 nights straight when I was in town for an event. Bartender remembers your name, drink, and cigar. I took 1 star off for two things. One, their cigar racks and choicrs are not that extensive. Two, the bar is actually rather small. Overall though, it's a pleasant bar to be in.
