Driftwood

No food service. Beer, wine and cocktails only.🍹 Fun place to meet up and chat, low light for romance. Medium high noise level. Smallish overall bar and seating area. Two unisex bathrooms.

I wandered into Driftwood for a drink and ended up having a really good time. The bartenders were great and I ended up talking with all kinds of people. It's a really chill place to have a drink. They have great cocktails, but I went off the menu and ordered a mezcal Margarita. The bartender was obliging and made one for me anyway. I was visiting from out of town, but this is definitely the kind of place that I would go back to. The neighborhood isn't exactly the safest in the world, so you might want to consider taking an Uber. It could be that I'm just from out of town, but that's just the vibe that I was getting.

Came here for a drink with a friend and immediately fell in love. This is such a cute space for a date night or a friend's gathering. The drinks are great, and the ambiance is just the right amount of dark/light. Would definitely be back.

Words cannot express the laid back vibe but high end/quality drinks of this hidden gem of a place. To say the staff is above and beyond would not do it justice. Hand crafted. Artisanal drinks. Great music and live performances and an unpretentious crowd representing this amazing city. Diverse. Fun. Intelligent. Engaging.

Love the staff here. Everyone is so darn nice, especially Cody, and they pour a strong drink too! They have music on and DJ's who play too. We've had a few birthday parties there and it is always a good time. Good crowd, not too sloshed and very friendly. Local fave!

Really cool hip (but not hipster) bar here with a mature crowd and nice dim lighting. It's a perfect date spot to get a few drinks and they're reasonably priced at about 9-10 bucks a cocktail. They've got a couch in the back and a working piano as well. The level of music is just right and not too loud to cover your conversations.

Super potent drinks and great people to boot. It's a great place to host an office event! CHRIS, the owner, is SO chill and he treats you right. The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable about spirits. It is jus a fun time at Driftwood.

I was visiting some friends while passing through the area. They wanted to go out for a couple late drinks and brought me to this place. It had a very welcoming atmosphere and I had a couple glasses of hard cider. It was a fun time and would definitely go back again when in the area next time.

Cute chill bar in the outskirts of Somas leather district

Cute chill bar in the outskirts of Somas leather district

This is a neat little bar on a quieter side street. There’s seats by the window that make a nice place to perch and watch the city life.

Good bar. Dark inside. Good drinks. Nice bartenders (at least the times I've been here). The last time I was here, got a generous portion of a Glenlivet founders reserve, for $10. My friends really enjoyed the mescal based special also. Will totally go again. Oh and it's generally not crowded at all. Super easy to get the bartender's attention, and a drink (or a few).

I had no food. I participated in a street cleanup in the area with Refuse Refuse San Francisco, and this was the gathering spot. We gathered before, spread out and cleaned some streets, and met afterwards. The atmosphere was improved by the fighting of the blight. Otherwise, I've not been in the habit of frequenting bars. Nothing against them. Everything about alcohol is cheaper from a liquor store, but the atmosphere of Driftwood changes with who you're there with. Your company makes or breaks your experience. At least, that's this one man's take on it.

This bar has a really hip atmosphere. They've taken actual driftwood and incorporated it into the decor with furniture pieces. The drinks are good. Can't go wrong with any of the whiskey drinks. The bar tender was nice. The place is expensive though, so not going to be a regular place for me. Would probably be good for a date.

Cute, good drinks, but I keep stopping by and leaving because the music is too loud for conversation and if I can't do that this place is frankly pointless.

We've wanted to try this place for a long time, since it's in our neighborhood and there always seems to be people inside. Well, we finally went and... it was just okay. One of the bartenders greeted us and then went MIA. The other bartender had a very bad attitude with us + everyone who walked in, to the point where it just killed our vibe for the rest of the night :/ Overall, this place just felt kind of pretentious and try-hard. We left there asking ourselves why we paid for overpriced cocktails, just to have the good mood ruined for the night. We were kicking ourselves for not going to another bar we knew would've been more fun.
