Propagation

Such friendly, amazing staff and was immediately welcomed with open arms! Drinks were amazing, and the overall experience was a 10/10! Also truly enjoyed the decor and overall look. Will 100% come back and I highly recommend.

Great vibe, drinks and service but their tip structure is ridiculous. I’m always happy to tip for great service so don’t have a problem with the three suggested options of 20% 25% and 28% (25&28 are a little steep). The issue is they charge a 4% credit card processing fee and include that plus the sales tax on the total amount you’re tipping on. The suggested tip should be based on the items ordered. Paying tip on the tax and mandatory fees is so dumb, and kind of a shady way to get extra money.

I don’t go out much, but this place is the kind of place that can get me excited! No complaints.

Was visiting SF with my girl friend and this was by far the best bar we went into! They had a lovely ambiance and the staff were amazing! The bartender had great recommendations and made us the best cocktails. We are definitely coming back on our next trip!

Propagation has such a great vibe! I enjoyed sipping my drinks amid the holiday decorations. This year’s Lunar New Year pop-up was a huge success as well as the cocktail menu accompanying it. There is no shortage of fun and tasty food or liquor pop up events. The ambience and decor instantly transports me away from the hustle/bustle of the TenderNob. I can easily spend hours here catching up with friends/co-workers/family as the amusingly named drinks are top notch. The bathroom is always clean and the bartenders are friendly and attentive!

Unique bar with a garden/plant theme. Jackson the bartender was great and friendly! Drinks are creative as well. I enjoyed their take on the dirty martini with the pepperoncini

Lovely service, intimate and cozy atmosphere and delicious cocktails (with some really funny names).

Very cool ambiance with a very cool staff. When my small group of 3 arrived they seated us immediately in a table that was socially distanced. The drinks we ordered were very tasty with a good balance of flavors. I would absolutely go back hangout with friends.

Craft cocktails with interesting names such as, take off your trousers and fire up your browsers..... What more do you need to know? This place is filled with beautiful plants.... And equally beautiful people inside and out... Entry is by proof of vaccination .... Which makes for a safe and enjoyable experience.... Plants everywhere make it cozy and inviting. Great place for a before dinner drink.

Got the espresso martini type drink, can’t remember for the life of me what it was though! Greta ambiance, drinks priced for the vibes but strong enough to be worth it.

Really cool place! Awesome vibe with all of the greenery and plants. The cocktails were all very delicious. These aren't just your typical drinks as everything has a cool twist, but they were very impressive! Can't wait to stop by again!

Intimate with a cool vibe!✨ Great cocktails, (seems like they change a few of them every day depending on their stock!) each of them comes in a different type of glass/ presentation 🍸 The staff is nice and efficient, the decor has a bit of a mid-century vibe, the place is filled with plants which makes everything cozier. I also like that they kept the old school laundromat sign outside of the building!

The cocktails here are 10/10! Real ingredients, no pre-made stuff here! Very chilled and quirky setting too, with plants that the owners look after themselves everywhere. Stays open surprisingly late, so would recommend this place any time of day.

Brit was our bartender and she did a great job! Ordered several mocktails and a non-alcoholic rose. Beautiful atmosphere and would go here regularly if I lived here.

Propagation SF is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed into a beautifully curated space that strikes the perfect balance between cozy and modern. The mocktails here are next level. Creative, complex, and thoughtfully crafted, they’re so good you don’t miss the alcohol for a second. I especially loved the “Call me when it’s over.” The service deserves its own shoutout. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The staff took time to explain the menu and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the night. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, catch up with friends, or just treat yourself to something delicious in a welcoming environment, Propagation SF is it. Can’t wait to come back!

When you want a place to hang out, catch up or unwind, this place is awesome! The ambience inside is so peaceful looking with all the live plants. You can pretend you are sitting outside in a garden with a cold delicious drink in your hand. You won't be disappointed with the custom cocktail menu. All the drinks are delicious and masterfully crafted. The service is great from the front door, behind the bar and at your seat. The owners are so friendly, they make you feel so welcomed and relaxed. I have never gone to a bar soo inviting. I will definitely be visiting again and if I were you I wouldn't pass up this gem.

I am OBSESSED with this bar! It is so cute inside and they have the nicest bar tender! I came in on a Saturday and they had chill music playing with all their Christmas decorations still up (before New Years). It is beautiful inside...seriously stunning. The owners put so much work into decorating, and when it isn't Christmas time, there are still so many beautiful (real) plants everywhere! They have bar seating, chairs, and a couch! My wife and I both had the "Going Out on a Limb" drink and it was delicious! $30 even for 2 drinks is a great price! They are LGBT+ friendly, a safe space for BIPOC, and pet friendly! Good drinks, kind employees, kind owners, cute set up....we will 100% be back! New favorite bar in all of San Francisco!

One of the best bars, I’ve been to. Not because the drinks are world class. But because everything is really good and there’s not a single thing to complain about. If you like the jungle-themed interior you’ll love this place.

Such a cute and fun plant filled cocktail bar! They have an SF coin laundry sign, but if you see the plants in the window you're in the right place. We came right around opening time on a Saturday and had our choice of seating. They were still serving their holiday drinks in early January, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered jumping to conclusions, and my friends ordered formulated opinion, big nick energy, and the holiday mocktail (big nick energy without alcohol). We also tried their fa la la la la shots. Everything was delicious! A great place to catch up over drinks and can't wait to go back!

SOOO GOOOD! The decor, the drinks, the wallpaper in the bathroom, the service! I had the "Trousers" whiskey cocktail and it was delicious! Super cool vibe, all the plants, you feel like you're in the host's living room - very welcoming. The owner Heather is a gem and treated everyone like they were guests in her home. So happy this place is here!

Hidden gem. Well crafted cocktails. Room full of live plants adds for a very cool vibe. Perfect for a date, or if you’re just interested in plants + drinks. Good music, excellent service. Definitely pop out if you’re in the area.

came here on a friday evening with friends, the vibe is always lovely here. the decor is very nicely done and there’s a good mix of bar seating and tables. the drinks are great! i got the wheatgrass/aloe cocktail (going out on a limb), but i’ve also had their oolong sesame oil one before as well. would definitely come back again :)

Enjoyed a few drinks here and the staff was very friendly. I really liked my drink. The ambience is really earthy contemporary and lovely. Btw, their bar sign doesn’t have their name on it. It says Coin Laundry! So dont walk past it like we did :)

This was a really nice pub/ bar in San Francisco. The ambience was really great and it has a really great variety of cocktails. It’s an exclusive place for drinks. The drinks had really nice names and interesting flavors. We had the following drinks, Hidden Agenda, Maximize your pleasure, Hoity Toity and Tisket Tasket I have a chocolate in my basket. The chocolate cocktail and the hidden agenda cocktail was really great. The hoity toity cocktail is slightly strong on the alcohol, but it has a really good balance of flavors. My favorite one was the chocolate one followed by the hidden agenda cocktail. The ambience is really great.

Great space. I love how the decor breaks the space into more private areas. The bartenders were really friendly and the cocktails were amazing. I loved their house sazerac

Lives up to the name! Loved all the plants inside and enjoyed the Halloween decorations. Drinks were amazing as well. If you like yuzu, Summon The Revival is your drink!

Propagation is a beautiful bar with spectacular decoration and vibrant staff. It’s a wonderful venue to imbue in fancy cocktails with classy clientele. Very gay atmosphere with consistent changing aesthetics for the seasons. I recommend a stop in to see for yourself. Lovely place for a drink and link. 😉😜

I went here about a month ago. The place is so beautiful and welcoming. The drinks were awesome, and Brouchard was cool as hell. I also met one of the owners, who told me about opening the place with her wife, taking care of all the plants, etc. If you're looking for a cool cocktail bar, gotta check this place out.

Great drinks, great vibe. The bartenders are 10/10, taking care of multiple guests at a time without breaking a sweat and all with a great attitude. Cigars After Sex was our favorite drink of the night, but you really want go wrong. Even on a busy night, it's definitely worth a visit!

I like the plant decor and atmosphere they have created. Friendly bartenders and staff. My cocktails were good but not mind blowing.

Awesome cocktails.. great ambiance! Great staff. Was there during the Chinese year decorations were up and have been going back ever since!

As a plant parent myself I love the theme of this bar. Whether you're a plant lover or not, this place is definitely worth checking out for the great drinks and ambiance. I can't wait to come back!"

Craft cocktails and plants! We stopped for a quick drink and enjoyed the wide variety of cocktails. Each drink was a yummy experience, with balanced flavors. Service on a Friday night is what one might expect for a busy Friday night. The music and lighting create a hip vibe, and seating is comfy. This spot is easy to miss, so look out for the corner space with all the plants inside!

Cute place and atmosphere, drinks weren’t incredible, but the thing that spoiled it all is the “recommended” tips for 20% and up going off of the added “credit card surcharge” and sales tax. Why would we tip on the bar’s extra charges and tax? Very deceptive and disappointing and has become all too common in SF.

The decor is cute, but I was a little disappointed because I expected more plants in the drinks and the decor since it's "plant-themed". The cocktails are not bad, but basic. The menu is not innovative, just has popular cocktails (like Martini and Paloma) under plant-themed names. If that's your thing, it's a good bar to chill at. But considering the amazing cocktail bars in SF, its a bit lackluster.

As a big plant lover, I really wanted to love Propagation — the greenery-filled concept is adorable. But the vibe missed for me. The music was loud and not great, the lighting felt way too dark, and my drink just didn’t hit (especially for $16). Cute idea, but the experience didn’t live up to the aesthetics.

Stopped in with my partner on a Friday. Atmosphere is neat, lots of plants, unfortunately not warm - I was kinda expecting a bit of humidity and warmth. Bartenders were friendly, but the drinks were pretty mediocre. We got the strawberry crusher - good, but the salted cream on top was way too strong - and the scotch+coffee drink - was there coffee? Nobody knows, but it was basically just scotch. On top of that, the drinks were not really full size. Maybe that's just coming from Atlanta, but the strawberry one came in a sniffer that was filled with ice and then the liquid only filled like two-thirds of the glass. Not a lot of value for the money. Food was prepackaged commercial stuff, which was a bummer. I'd probably go back since all the reviews have been so positive, but I wouldn't get those drinks again. Very unbalanced. Wish they leaned into the theme a bit more with more floral, herbacious drinks.

While the atmosphere was fantastic, the service was abysmal. Waiter was more interested in arguing rather than resolving the issues. Would not recommend to anybody close to me.

Half their plants are dead or infested. Bartender ignored me and my wife for over 20min. Dude wasn’t even busy. There were 3 couples besides us in the entire place. Dude couldn’t even say “hey I’ll be with you in a minute”. Quite rude staff. Nice drinks but plenty of other options around to support.

Went here with friends and was treated incredibly poorly. The bouncer was performing theatrics outside to make the place look busy, which was already off-putting. Inside, after ordering $100 in drinks, a clearly drunk girl blocked the bar and put her hand over my drink — completely inappropriate. When I politely asked her to move, her friend accused me of having “bad energy” and complained to staff, who wouldn’t even let me explain. Lots of fake smiles and no respect. I left without a scene, but I won’t be back — and I’ll be telling others to skip this place too.
