Dahlia San Francisco Reviews
Although the outside façade may look a little dated, the inside is truly magnificent in terms of the decor, lighting and conveniences special VIP in the back of the house and an underground champagne room really make this a favorite hotspot if you're in the neighborhood currently owning managed by a former bartender with years of experience of what the Public likesand needs
I recently discovered this place, and I am in a positive shock. The way they are making the drinks and cocktails is absolutely professional and on point! However, for this number of guests you have, you shouldn't make them that way cause it takes so much time, and I ended up waiting for a round of round of drinks for 30 minutes. My advice to you is either to hire more bartenders or to change the way of making the drinks, in other words, to simplify it. Decorations are interesting, I love pictures of Frida, by the way. ✨️
Very nice owner Very handsome young man Made sure we made it to our uber Great hospitality! Loved the atmosphere! Loved the decor!
The place is awesome. Cool vibe and great drinks! The bartender was so nice ! Definitely check this place out
Fantastic lounge and bar. The atmosphere is inviting and upscale. The staff is attentive and mix some famous drinks. Definetly recommend for a happy hour drink, night out or private event. Really enjoyed!
GREAT vibes and cocktails. Super friendly staff. Nice music and atmosphere. I got a really cool cocktail with a lil smoking sage joint. Very strong drinks here but if that’s your thing then you’ll be happy. 9/10
very vibey, felt warm & relatable. Good music, great drinks & cute decor.
Dope spot. Live music on a Sunday night that I happened to walk by. So good and vibey. Great service. Fun decor and chill spot to be. Highly recommend.
Great music, strong drinks, and a phenomenal atmosphere. I didn’t get the chance to go downstairs but the upstairs was nice!
Our boutique lounge is getting better and better with constant updates to the drink menu, decor, and diverse entertainment!
This bar/nightclub is a real gem. The vibe and decor are incredible, and the drinks and service are next level. More than meets the eye, it has multiple areas and really cool speak easy vibes. The most fun we had in SF. A big thanks to the staff for a memorable experience. 10/10 recommend.

Got a table here for my wife's birthday, and was amazed by the service here! My wife knows the owner, Randy, and were greeted by him when he got there. He's an amazing soul and down to earth guy. As for the lounge, it's very chill and so is the crowd. Staff was attentive and took care of whatever we needed. Our bottle service girls were also on point. I think if I want to have something for my birthday coming up I might have to come back here. Thanks guys for making my wife's birthday party awesome 💯🔥🎁😜
Was there in August before going to a show at Public Works SF. Had a French 75 for the first time, it was fabulous! The employees were great and friendly! Definitely want to come back next time I'm in town!

I recently tried Dahlia Lounge for the first time before going to an event at Public Works around the corner. It’s honestly such a vibe with bold statement decor, unique cocktails, and a decently sized floor with lots of comfortable seating. Also, the music wasn’t too loud, so the environment was good for having conversations, which was ideal for my group.

This a cute little spot. Not a ton of seating though. They have a DJ and the music is pretty good. People started dancing. Unique drink/cocktail options. I enjoyed the drinks. Could be a fun hangout spot with friends or a little date spot.
Newly remodeled with a Latin vibe ,very open and bar tenders were attentive, bouncer was friendly....It interestingly spaced. The top has two sections and the bottom has a big open room...So people won't be as concentrated. But overall good vibe live DJ on Saturdays.... not in the best location of sf...But will go again. Its also Lgbt+ friendly which is great.

Went for a drink with friends. Based on google recommendations the bar is top rated but my experience wasn’t. They had none of the great bourbons like whistlepig, knob creek, bulleit or rittenhouse. I had to settle for the high west. The bar tender also wasn’t friendly. Won’t recommend on a busy night maybe less busy time is a good time to go.
they've got cool chill modern vibes and really good DJs for background music, but the space is a bit cramped and the cocktails barely have any alcohol in them, tasted like syrup and way too much ice..

Has a lot of potential, but trying too hard to be a club rather than a neighborhood cocktail bar. Staff waving a flashlight to force a path through dancing people to clean the tables killed the vibe more than a few times. Friday night DJ was great and bartenders were nice. Drinks were mediocre especially for the price; would probably just get a beer next time.
Interesting place and set up. Everyone staring at you scanning you up and down as you enter the chaos. As you make your way to the back there are stairs leading down to more party spaces and a photo booth. Expect shoulder to shoulder bumping and grinding. I guess it's a nice spot if you're single, the folks here definitely looked like they were trying to leave with people. It's got some style. The back bar is the place to be. Nicely lit and the Asian girl bartender was crushing service all by herself. The crowd was friendly I didn't feel unsafe. Props for the big comfortable bathroom.

Arrived to this place about 9:45 last night it was kind of empty. There was a private party downstairs and another price party in the back room so pretty much the main room was open. My group got a seat on some couches near the door. The place started to fill up we were drinking having a good time. The waitress we coming over checking on us all was good. Until around 11:15 pm we were asked to move down a space because there was a space next to us was reserved for 3 people which we moved and on the other side of us there were white men "the finance bro type" and a white female that were next to us when we got there. So soon after I guess the owner or manager went and got security and had us removed saying that were were in a reserved section. ( let me put this in context my group was 3 black people, a Latina, and an Arab person. 3 women and 2 guys) there was another couple on the other side looked to be Asian. They didn't ask anyone else to move just us and went and got security at that. That guy (see photo below the man with blonde hair) was definitely racist. We asked another waitress how much is the section and she said it was basically bottle service only. Which we knew was a lie, the finance bros nor the other couple next to us ordered any bottles also we asked the people if they reserved and they said no. Even if it was bottle service we were never offered the opportunity to even order a bottle. They immediately sat some older white people in our area when we got got up. We asked one of the ladies in the party if they reserved the space and she was like I don’t think so. There is an “white bro aesthetic” they are trying to have in that place. The drinks were good music could be better. But with that experience I’ll never recommend this place nor go back to this place ever again. People should learn not to judge a book by its cover.
