RM212

Was introduced to this spot by my buddy and I was instantly impressed by the very comfortable vibes and incredibly well thought out drinks. As part of the night, we did eventually leave but after a drink or two at that spot, I came back because Rm 212 just felt better to chill at and drink at. Looking forward to another visit soon

Originally came here for the speed dating event which was exceptional. Came back for cocktails and excellent service. This place is exceedingly friendly, the cocktails are well balanced yet dynamic. 2nd visit was on a Karoke night and I had a blast. Found myself singing with this 60+ year old drummer named Doug. Dude knew every song and it was a riot. Gene, one of the owners treated me to a shot of baijiu. He's a dedicated professional and works diligently to make everyone happy. The bartenders Kat, Patrick, Youngji, and Max make insanely well composed drinks. Never too sweet, or citric, always have something extra that breaks from the mundane recipe they may be riffing off of. I can safely say they're both honoring the "classics", but also evolving them. Notch the chef is always on point. His food easily matches the high end cocktails served. His boudin balls are fire, and the "executive" is some of the best late night food I've had. Ricky is hilarious, a classy professional, and elevates the environment deeply. He also has some of the best recommendations for food in Chinatown. Patrick's Jungle Bird is ahead of it's time and should be studied. Bartenders should make pilgrimages to try it and the Eeyore's Requiem. Kat is the queen of agave. She's also very motherly for a bartender and ensures that everyone's being kind to her, each other, and that the smiles continue throughout the night. Her drinks are incredible, complex, and always go down quickly. Youngji's a wildcard. She made me the best Aviation i've had so far as a dealers choice. She also bravery delves into extremely complicated drink recipes with precision. I'm often quite surprised how she takes delicate ingredient's and doesn't crush them other overpowering flavors. I've only had Max's drinks once but they were beyond what I expected from a seasoned SF vet. Many OG craft folks have let their torch extinguish and have stopped trying at the bars of high reputation. Max seems like the guy who just keeps grinding despite his industry peers falling off in total effort. He also has great bar recommendations that I look forward to exploring. Room 212 quickly became my most frequented bar in SF. It epitomizes what hospitality should be and naturally is to them, unpretentious, dedicated, non judgmental, guiding those less seniored to make great food and drink decisions, a melting pot of folks of all political leanings, races, but with unifying principles binding them all. The average 212 customers are some of the hardest working people in the area. That also have enough glow and charisma to desire a very insightful conversation. Truly a heart and hub of the city. One that all the owners, staff, and community members that enjoy it can be proud of.

Hidden gem in the heart of fidi! The cocktails are great- creative, diverse menu with most liquors covered. Good especially if you have a sweet tooth, but also have solid shots. Far East Zombie was STRONG, which is why there’s a recommended 2 per guest limit lol. We also ordered fries and wings- warm, fresh, well spiced. We came with a large 10 ppl party and they quickly accommodated. Love the chill vibes and dedication to mixology.

This is the place you want. Max capacity of maybe 15, leading to an atmosphere of an intimate speakeasy. Patrick and Lydia were our bartenders and they made the entire experience the best we've ever had. For anyone interested in mixology, or the art behind cocktail making, Patrick is knowledgeable and passionate in that area and made for a wonderful conversation. This is not a bar to get drunk and do shots of fireball. Which is absolutely perfect for us.

Definitely a gem in the heart of SF fidi! Patrick’s cocktail program is phenomenal - ask for his favorite off the menu 😉. The prime burger topped with gouda is a perfect duo with a thin decadent brioche. Ask Ricky for best special items on the munchie menu.

Loved this place. Came here for friend's engagement happy hour. Ordered beef bulgogi nachos, chicken wings, & corn fritters with sake shots. Foods are so flavorful especially spicy wings. My friends loved the sake shots. Great customer services. The menu for dinner is only small tapas. This place is more like drinking bar at night. If you are looking for dinner, this is not for you. But have a drink & small eat after work, this is the place. Reservation highly recommended especially for large group of 5 or above because this place is small & pack with people starting at 7:00 pm.

Our experience at RM 212 was a delightful feast of diverse flavors and culinary creativity in bar food form. We embarked on a culinary adventure starting with the tantalizing pastrami egg rolls and crispy salt and pepper wings, both bursting with savory goodness. The walnut shrimp offered a perfect blend of light airy crunch and succulence, while the mini pigs in a blanket were delectable bite-sized treats. The chopped cheese empanadas were nice and flaky with a flavorful, cheesy beef. The BEC (bacon egg cheese) pierogies was a nice snackable breakfast in pierogi form. The chicken tamales reminded me of the sticky rice you get at dim sum. Finally, we indulged in the heavenly NY cheesecake bites, a sweet ending that left us craving for more. Our group ordered some of the featured cocktails such as the Yuzu lemon drop, Korean Mule, and Nutella espresso martini. RM 212 impressed us with their inventive menu and skillful execution, making it a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts seeking a memorable and diverse dining experience.

This place is really hip. Has a bar-like environment, but they don't pressure you to buy drinks. We just ordered the small plates and it was delicious! Ordered the corn fritters, wings and the sausage bao. They were all super tasty and delicious, lots of new flavor. I wasn't sure if this one dude was a manager or owner, but he came by and asked us if everything was good and constantly filled up my water. Great service!!

Amazing food, drinks, and people. If it was in my budget to go out and eat dinner there every day...I probably would for a while. It's not too loud, it's cozy and modern, the food is soooo good...like, incredible, break my diet kind of good! Bulgogi nachos are to die for!

Drinks are great and the companies are good. You have to try all The drinks .

One of the best speakeasy craftsman bar I have ever been to. Its not about gimmicks and fluff, its about pure talent and intentionality. The entire team is welcoming, personal and can make almost any drink you want. The menu (food and drink) is incredible, truly some of the best food Ive ever had in a restaurant. Come alone and make new friends or come with friends and blend the group! All are welcome in this sultry easy going bar.

Best drinks I’ve had in the Bay Area. Each and every person’s drink was perfect. The service was very attentive, accommodating, and friendly. The inside is decorated nicely. If I come back to SF, I’m coming here.

Phenomenal speak easy vibes with excellent drinks and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend if you are looking for chill vibes with the ability to talk and get to know your community at a mid-low reasonable price for the area.

First time and came with a friend. Wicked cute and welcoming! Good drinks and people. So glad I found this place! I’ll be back!

Amazing cocktails with cozy vibe. Then you try the food and realize this bar may be one of your favorite places to eat too! The owner loves what he does and it shows.

Didn't have food but the drinks and atmosphere was great. Happend to arrive on their first anniversary, given free champagne and the locals were an absolute vibe 🙏🏻

We stumbled upon this bar while walking around in San Francisco. Great ambiance, awesome bartenders and delicious drinks! The bartenders have such a passion for mixology and do such a wonderful job tailoring drinks to exactly what you’re looking for! The truffle popcorn is phenomenal and I highly suggest ordering it when you pop in! You won’t be disappointed! This place is a great hidden gem and we will absolutely be going again next time we are in San Francisco!!

Popped in here after brunch and had some awesome cocktails made by Mike! Super friendly and fun spot. Will be back!

RM212 has unique cocktails, great food, and even better service. The bartenders are very friendly. It's a cozy space with comfortable seating and a fireplace. I recommend checking out Patrick's rotating picks on the cocktail menu and the burger dog.

RM 212 is a great little speakeasy-style spot that’s perfect if you’re looking for cozy vibes and well‑made cocktails. Inside, the lighting is soft, the music is at a comfortable level, and the seating encourages conversation—ideal for date night or catching up with a small group of friends. The bartenders take care with their drinks, balancing flavors well
