Bottle Club Pub

Stumbled into this pub after a show in the theatre district and experienced a rush akin to what the first prospector must have felt finding golden nuggets in the Sacramento Valley - EUREKA! We have struck gold!!Bottle Club Pub really IS gold -- killer cocktails, mouthwatering food, suave atmosphere, and reasonable prices. It's almost too good to be true.The rotating liquor shelf is the star feature of this lounge, and it's incredibly mesmerizing to watch it spin around as the red lighting dances on the bottles. It was fun to watch each new group notice it the first time it moved for them -- it seems a pretty ubiquitous experience that everyone enjoys watching it. The decor is kitschy Americana but in a classic, timeless way -- very Norman Rockwell-esque. It gives off a masculine atmosphere with a warm, sensual vibe. The cocktails were excellent and sit around $15 (affordable by SF standards, for sure). The TL crush was bright and fruity, while the Plum Daisy was surprisingly robust. Plenty of options for cocktails as well as draft beer and a small selection of wine. The real standout however was the food -- the fish and chips were PHENOMENAL. They were incredibly crispy and dusted with a type of chicken salt that added a unique layer of umami. The fries were lightly battered (which I loved) and the tartar sauce had fresh dill in it. The Nashville Chicken sandwich was about as authentic as you can find in the Bay -- it was dripping in that classic Nashville sauce and had just the right amount of spice. The service was excellent and friendly. They initially mistook my fish and chips order for a burger, but when they brought out the wrong dish they quickly made it right and we didn't have to wait long at all for the right order. Can't wait to come back and try more things on their menu. We'll be showing this hidden gem to all our friends for as long as they keep that cool rotating liquor shelf maintained!

One of the coolest bars in SF, simply because of the rotating bottle racks. If you're in the area, it's worth a trip just to witness it. The drinks are great too, can't forget that lol

I love the interior and the whole vibe of this place. They have a two stories to the bar and the biggest selling point of the place is the revolving drink wall. It's a sight to see and enjoy. I came here and I had The Looking Glass which is rum, but what sold me was the pandan cream. Love the mix of this drink.

The place was well decorated! My friends and I enjoyed seeing the bottles rotate as the bartender needed to grab something for our drinks. The beer my friend was served was the last of the keg and he said it tasted very metallic and flat. There were people smoking weed right outside of the open door and the smell really messed with the vibe of the place.

Huge selection of alcohol, plenty of open seating, but the heavy Spanish rap played at high volume kills the vibe

Really fun vibes. The music was very cool, it was all types of genres. Had the pub juice which was very tasty. Had some friends out of state visiting and met up here. Great place to show out of towners. Close to Union square and easy to get to. Kitchen was closed, they had an event that night. It was a Saturday and I noticed a lot of folks left because the kitchen wasn't open.

Nice bar. Near the heart of darkness, but far enough for civilityAnd friendly bartenders and bartendres's

Great drinks and liquor from around the world! Worthwhile to checkout and to have some fun with friends or co-workers!

I came to SF for my birthday awhile back and stayed at the hotel across the street from this place. When I saw the plants in the window I knew I had to stop in. Upon walking in I was shocked at how beautiful this bar was. They had a huge variety of spirits to choose from. The bartender, Lui, gave us excellent service and amazing drinks. He really made my birthday feel so special. Whenever I'm in SF I always make it a point to come back here now.

Coming here on a Friday night I definitely had higher expectations. We passed this place on the way to dinner, saw their impressive bottle collection and fun menu and decided to stop by afterwards. When we first entered, no one greeted us, and it was unclear whether we could just sit down or not. After realizing there was only one bartender and he didn't seen to care at all, or even look in our direction, we went and sat down. After some time we got menus, and visited the spirits list (the only thing I really care about these days), and saw that they had a Stagg Jr bourbon for the incredible price of $18/pour. The bartender seemed overwhelmed even though there was literally 2 patrons sitting at the bar, and two other tables all of whom had gotten their drinks at this point. Someone in our group went to the bar to get drinks, but one person wasn't able to answer what they wanted right away, and the bartender literally rolled his eyes at us and left to go do something else. We waited probably a good 15 min at the bar to order after that because he was busy making a different drink and couldn't even answer questions. After some time, he said he may not have Stagg Jr so I picked another bourbon. When the cool bottle set up was rotating, I spotted the bottle and requested it. He insisted that this was not Stagg Jr but Stagg (because they recently dropped Jr from the label on the small bottle). Any literal whiskey drinker knows the difference between George T Stagg & Stagg Jr. Just because they dropped the Jr label does not make this Stagg. He argued with us regarding this aspect and in the end charged us more for the same pour. It was overall just like an incredibly rude experience and super disappointing.The mixed cocktails were not well balanced and honestly as impressive as their bottle list is, the service, ambiance and attitude was just off. I would not recommend this spot.
