Wondering where to find the best cocktail bars near you?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best high-end cocktail bars in San Francisco, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to venture next time you're on the hunt.
1. Trou Normand
Topping the list is Trou Normand. Located at 140 New Montgomery St. (at Natoma Street) in SoMa, Trou Normand serves more than a dozen signature cocktails made with Heritage Spirits, as well as cheese and charcuterie boards and a full dinner menu. Boasting four stars out of 558 reviews on Yelp, it is the highest-rated high-end cocktail bar in San Francisco.
Yelper Benjamin K., who reviewed Trou Normand on Nov. 15, wrote, "Cool place to grab drinks and bites in SoMa. Old Fashioned is excellent."
2. Bourbon & Branch
Next up is the Tenderloin's Bourbon & Branch, which has earned four stars out of 3,127 reviews on Yelp. Owned by the Future Bars group — which also operates Local Edition, Swig and other speakeasy-style bars in the Bay Area — this Prohibition-themed spot offers an extensive list of craft cocktails and whiskeys. Treat yourself by heading over to 501 Jones St. (at the corner of O'Farrell Street).
Yelper Anthony W., who reviewed Bourbon & Branch on Feb. 28 wrote, "The atmosphere was super chill. The lights were all dim and there was little noise in the background."
Nathan W. noted, "Love this place! Feels like you are stepping back in time."
3. 25 Lusk
Last but not least, there's 25 Lusk, a SoMa favorite with four stars out of 1,429 reviews. In addition to offering a prix-fixe dinner experience, this upscale bar and restaurant mixes up seasonal and classic cocktails and features a rooftop space, private dining room and lounge area.
