I'm 4 months into living in the outer sunset area and I've always had it in my head that I had to head much closer into central SF or into the downtown area for a good cocktail. So overjoyed to have learned about White Cap from a friend. Love the location (30 min walk from home), the decor and the friendly staff. Adam, Darcy & Natty made my visit on a Saturday evening a treat. Drinks were great; lots of variety, clearly a lot of care put into their design. Steady flow of locals coming/going and just felt really comfortable and enjoyable to sit and talk with the staff, other patrons or just read. Looking forward to this being my new neighborhood (cocktail) bar.

Weve been going here many times and last Sunday, the experience kinda leveled up. I personally like the Passport, Surfer on Acid?, and Bolo Tie except the Monkey Wrench. We also enjoyed the short talk with the bartender who've shared his expertise in bartending - listen to this guy's vision. Pro tip - have him surprise you with a dessert cocktail.

My first time at White Cap was 2019. I'm glad to have made it back here again as it was just as phenomenal as I remember. The bartender made excellent drink recommendations. Drinks are well balanced and the atmosphere is very laid back. Love this spot

This nonchalant neighborhood bar is zee best! With their seasonal rotation of their menus, you'll never get bored. It doesn't get too busy given the location so absolutely perfect for a chillaxin' day to boost up. Nice staff and most of all, delicious and beautiful drinks! (No food) The MOMA was one of my favorites - floral beauty.

Friendly folks and good cocktails in a nice ambiance. The fire place is cozy and there’s a TV for sports. Great neighborhood bar would visit more often if we lived closer

Another great find in SF. Well balanced drinks and original seasonal cocktail menu. Bar staff are seasoned mixologists, approachable, and friendly. Always appreciate those who master the art and science of mixed drinks. Thumbs-up to neighboring Automat for their food; an occasional treat at White Cap.

Great place to get craft cocktails. The menu is made up of unique drinks from each of the bartenders. Great service, especially a kind gentleman who closed on that Sunday night we visited. We ordered the "pinch of salt" and the "knock on wood". Both were amazing and so well balanced and satisfying. Beautiful decor also ❤️

Love this place. Often go on a sunny day. Got three drinks last time to share. All great but especially liked blueberry mint! Finish off with street tacos at Underdog next door👍

Absolutely amazing cocktails. Our first bar visit post vaccination and it was a great choice. We plowed through 6 of their 8 menu’d cocktails and they each delivered. Our favorites were the Surfer on Acid and the Beach Blanket. Highly recommend.

We were drawn in by their specialty house cocktails with the fun names and interesting ingredients, all of which were delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and it has a nice layout. It's a bit on the expensive side, but they made the best whiskey sour I've ever had in my life.

I love it here. Looking for a spot after work or just a good vibe with yummy cocktails this is it. I lived in SF for 7 years and my roommates and I spent great times here. The bartenders are consistently cool and real. I could bring my dog in (not sure if that is still aloud) which made me even more inclined to go. Dont skip this little neighborhood spot if you're looking for a place for a good drink

These craft cocktails are fantastic! They’re bringing great vibes.

Mere blocks from the Pacific, Whitecap is the most mesmerizing bar in the Outer Sunset if not all of S.F. Unique cocktail menu served by friendly, knowledgeable bartenders with the mellow vibe of surfers at the edge of the continent. Truly one of a kind. Don’t waste another minute!

Really awesome and smart bartender, knows his stuff. Loved the mezcal cocktail- can’t remember the name, I gotta go back! Parklet space is really good - after a surf or a beach walk.

Low key, very chill surfer bar with a high end vibe but down-to-earth, unpretentious feel, steps away from Ocean Beach. Favorite spot to bring out of town friends to catch up over 1-2 cocktail conversations.

I came on a sunday and their was a mini oven w spam musubi heated up . Mine had kimchi. They gave me sauces sweet tamari and chili sauce. Delish bite sitting in the sun in outside benches! Lots of seats to people watch before going for a walk.

A cool little bar to meet up with a friend or two or a casual date. A simple cocktail menu with a bar and a fireplace in a sleepy part of town. Came here on a Wednesday night and there were just a few people hanging out. It was quiet and easy to have a conversation.

Great vibe, beautiful setting. The cocktails may be a little sophisticated for my taste, but it’s such a cool spot I’ll be coming back to try the rest of the menu.

A bit too expensive for the atmosphere. Service was lacking.
