Love the entire staff here. Lil hole in the wall joint for when you need to run screaming away from the prices at the arcade or the independent or you're just nervous about getting tattooed at everlasting.

It is indeed "mini." Very snug and cozy space with interesting art for sale and excellent punk music playing. Be patient with your bartender it gets packed in here

Nice, friendly, and intimate in setting, a great stop on a loner curious path or a couple. Quality rail drinks. No duck faces, just all aces!

This is my favorite local bar. All the bartender's are super friendly and make a mean cocktail! The space is intimate with nice mood lighting, good music and good people (patrons included). Has a real neighborhood feeling about it as opposed to the Bro nightlife bars around it. You guys are a true beacon of hope on Divis 🙌

J
Julia Enthoven

Very local bar. Small and intimate with a nice couch area at the front and a back room that (I heard) they’re about to redecorate. Plus they have good cocktails that are affordable without tasting cheap. I had a good Paloma. Went here with two friends, and I will be back!

M

Great little neighborhood bar…popped in for a quick happy hour drink while waiting for our college son to arrive to his apartment two doors down. Bartender Winston crafted me a MEAN DiSarrono sour…reasonable prices & a super chill vibe.

The name says it all. Mini Bar is tiny. So if you're sitting next to a crazy person, you're screwed. There's no place to hide. Except that they now have a parklet because of COVID-19. Long live parklets!

Nice little bar where we stopped by on our post-graduation bar hop. Got some privacy in a small room inside which has some eclectic art. Had a bunch of beers & a wonderful time. Nice staff, cool ambience, opening up the window made it perfect.

Great local pet friendly bar. Personally I dont have pets, but if you do this place welcomes them. They ask you keep them on the floor, furniture for humans only. Service is great. Really enjoyed talking with locals. Great place to meet people for a drink and conversation.

Genevieve is a great barkeep and the place is the perfect local bar. It's dark, but not too dark. They play good music which fills the room but isn't too loud. It's a great little bar but tables to spread out onto. Happy hour till 7p is $5 well drinks, $2.50 tecate and if you're lucky they might even give you some chips and Quesa.

Mini bar is a gem on Divisadero. I come normally on Wednesday around 6:30 pm and Erin, this lovely, sparkly bartender is always nice and her drink are outstanding! Highly recommend it

I had such a great time at Mini Bar SF. Bartenders was so nice and very friendly to everyone! The drinks were AMAZING and provided a really fun experience. Definitely would check this Bar out if you're looking for a great time with friends!

J

Best neighborhood bar you will ever find. If you want to know SF past and present, come here. Local art displayed here constantly with new shows every two months. And art is often affordable so you can buy pieces and enjoy them at home! The cocktails are delicious and inventive! Staff is amazing and you always feel welcome. They also seem to always be making improvements to the interior and their drink menus!

Cozy bar with tasty drinks. There was lots of cool art on the walls and the music fit the chill vibes. It was a good volume where we could actually have a conversation without shouting at each other. Definitely coming back!

Exactly what you'd expect, a pretty small awesome locals bar. Good beer options and a full bar. Always some fun art on the walls too.

M

Pleasantly surprised by this place. Interesting art fill the walls and you can get you classic list of drinks here. Nothing incredibly impressing but a solid vibe.

J
Jennifer McDonnell

Love the art on the walls, and the intimate atmosphere... though this also means it gets really crowded and can take awhile to order a drink

Small cozy bar on the Divis corridor great for drinks and conversation indoor or parklet. Good mixed drinks!

Mini bar is just that, mini. This small establishment it a fine place for a drink with great cocktails, jazz playing and some cool art on the walls. There are some tables up front and a small back room and a arching bar in the middle. If there are more than about 10 people in the bar it feels kinda crowded. It is also a challenge to get to the restroom which is precariously places in a tight corner. Overall though good crowd, good drinks and fun place on Divis.

Cool little neighborhood date spot but the bartender was very rude and confrontational. Really bums me out when cool spots have bad people.

Came in just now for a drink. First time here. Nice decor and music. The volume is perfect for the setting they have created here. Unfortunately the drink sucked. I ordered an old fashioned with rye straight. The beverage I received is a very small pour of whiskey and a huge* pour of simple syrup. A real shame from a place that advertises as having good cocktails. As a type one diabetic I rely on classic beverages that everyone prepares the same quality. Unfortunately the Mini Bar couldn’t deliver. You will pay less for a better drink virtually anywhere in this neighborhood.

Drinks were solid, but then when they started to close down, within 1.5 minutes they started to yell at us and harass us. Gave us 90 seconds from the time they started to say we’re closing to full on harassment. Would highly recommend staying away, lots of friendly bars around.

G
George Kooshian

It seemed like a nice little hole in the wall place, but the bartender wouldn't serve our girlfriends because he disagreed with a political conversation they were having with another customer. Furthermore, instead of just being honest and giving us the true reason he wouldn't serve them, he accused them of being drunk. Pretty lame.

D
Daniel Jones

Super rude bartender giving me an attitude the minute I walk in, almost like he's trying to impress his usual patrons. I'll never set foot in there again.

A
Ankitha Nanjaraj

Extremely rude bartender. Arthur, the bartender was rude, drunk and made my girlfriends and I very uncomfortable. I would not recommend going here.

H

Strong xenophobic vibes multiple times. Female Bartenders intentionally ignore me several times. Atmosphere is very racist, esp if you’re a female POC. Highly do not recommend supporting this business..

E
Enrico E. Manalo

TLDR: Lead bartender Arthur throws tantrums Arthur (apparently, the lead bartender) yelled “BEER, SHOT, OR WINE” repeatedly in my partner’s face, refusing to allow us to order cocktails, having served them to others ahead of us and the party after us. Arthur’s lack of professionalism and aggressive behavior are the reason we will not be returning. Bartending is a hard gig, but to be treated as beneath contempt by Arthur with no clear explanation or provocation is beyond disappointing. The fact that the doorwoman confirmed that Arthur has lashed out at customers on more than one occasion is all the more concerning as apparently, that behavior is not unusual for Mini Bar.
