Marianne's

Service was super kind and friendly! Allowed us to share our own preferences in tastes for cocktails and making the drinks personalized for all of us. Beautiful maximalist decoration with lots of framed pictures of musicians and important pop culture icons. The ambiance and interior is definitely eye catching and very beautiful, though they played music that didn't match the atmosphere like Pitbull LOL. They gave us cards to play as well. Three stars due to location! Even taking an Uber to the entrance was really eerie since it's in an unlikely very dark alleyway so it overall felt really unsafe until you make it inside. Drinks were decent but pretty, I don't think any of them were too memorable.

Attended a brunch hosted by a dear friend. Marianne's is a beautiful venue! You can even choose the music for the outdoor entrance. Windi, Hugo, and Kasey were such wonderful and attentive staff. The food was lovely - there were egg sandwiches, pastries and toast, a fruit platter, chia & coconut milk puddings, fruit parfaits, French toast. They really accounted well for dairy-free pudding option and vegetarian breakfast sandwiches. I don't know how much the event cost but I would certainly recommend this venue!

Marianne's is absolutely fantastic. This review is based on a surprise private event that a friend hosted on November 4 for her husband's birthday. I flew to SF for 24 hours just for the event and I must say it was made it entirely worth it because of this fantastic venue and experience.The decor and vibe is just the right of intimate. There's a classy yet un-stuffy air about this spot. It's located just down the way from The Cavalier; I appreciated the separate, dedicated space. Most of all, I was so surprised how smoothly every ran, and the quality of drinks and food. Usually I've found parties in event spaces have a staff that is stilted, bored, just going through the motions of hosting yet another party...NOT the case here. The bartender was fantastic (I wish I had caught her name), handling the group with ease with her delicious cocktails, while staying chipper/friendly. She greeted me warmly upon arrival, showing me the special cocktail menu for the evening but also gesturing to the variety of other options should I prefer. I wasn't feeling well earlier that day so asked for guidance on a choice that wouldn't be harsh on my stomach, which she happily offered (the "Imperial G&T" was perfect)...just wonderful service.Passed food was also surprisingly good, despite what I was expecting with typical 'bar food' choices: french fry cups, onion rings, salmon ceviche tacos, smoked deviled airs, burger bites, even fried chicken nuggets that just tasted...like elevated comfort food. Platters were circulated broadly and consistently and we all went back for 2nds (and 3rds). Can I just say the other staff helping out that night, running out the food, bussing tables...they also were just as good as the bartender (especially the man who was especially courteous and friendly). Again didn't catch their names but would love for this feedback to be passed to them.Would absolutely return.

Came on a rainy chilly night after near by dinner. What a chill vibe. Low light chandeliers, candles on top of cherry wood tables and intimate tables for 2. Lots to look at in case your date is a bore. Fantastic drinks and enjoyed sitting at the bar since it was a full house. Make a ressie if coming! Speakeasy vibes located at the end of a random street, east to kiss u less you know

This place charges $25/PER PERSON as a cover charge/just to make a reservation! The fee does not go towards your total bill, which is absolutely absurd.The decor is cool, the room is small, the noise level is good for dates, but there's not much privacy. It's very open and you can easily stare at everyone else. The bartender is enthusiastic and nice, but the drinks have no pop. It's all classic drinks - manhattans, martinis, highballs. There seems to be an attempt at a twist, but there's nothing special, just, I assume - god, I at least HOPE - higher quality ingredients. This place is one of the WORST "speakeasy" cocktail experiences I've EVER had. At $22+/cocktail + $25 cover charge, you easily spend $150+ on a very lackluster and actually kind of infuriating experience. A total waste of money and time.There are so many other unpretentious bars in San Francisco that welcome with you open arms, I do not recommend this place AT ALL. Like, I'm actively telling people this place sucks.

This amazing lounge is adjacent to the Hotel Zetta and the restaurant The Cavalier. We had dinner at the Cavalier and were told about the lounge. The server literally took our drinks and walked us to the lounge. The ambience is sooooo chill. Music playing , dark lighting, it's a great place to have a drink. I can't remember exactly what my wife ordered for her drinks but she said they were great. Cool place to end a Saturday night before going back to our room. If you want a fast paced bar/lounge this isn't it, but if you want to chill and enjoy some drinks, definitely recommend this place. We definitely will be back next time we are in Frisco.

Let's be honest, who doesn't love a secret? Who doesn't love Speakeasies? I love secrets and I love secret bars even more, and SF is full of them. Marianne's is a hidden gem in the back of a restaurant, you literally enter through an Exit sign. You can check in at the restaurant or find the entrance on Jesse Street. They accept walk-in's but I recommend making reservations. They have amazing cocktails and delicious bites. Tried the Sticky Fingers - a rye based cocktail and the Honey Bang Me Sloe - Vodka basked cocktail. They are speciality cocktail prices between $14-15. The light bite and apps are great. Brussel sprout chips, tartare, and fried oysters. The ambiance is relaxing, romantic, and warm. There's low lighting and great music playing. Perfect for a date or with friends. Don't be in a rush if you come here, you definitely lose track of time. I didn't want to leave because I loved it so much inside, I can't wait to return. Review #38

After discovering this apt several years ago I have been back many times. It's a great cocktail and a happy staff willing to recommend any variation of what you need to enjoy this space. The decor is straight out of the Rocker / Mod era of the late 1960s. Both Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithful would be so proud. Great job!

We hosted a meet & Greet event with medical professionals last week at Marianne's. The whole experience was lovely! The ambience of Marianne's was immaculate, music selection & volume were lovely and the decorations inside the venue were great. I worked directly with Hope to organize the event & she was prompt with her responses and very helpful through the decision-making process. Our day-of team, Kristofer & Bryan did a wonderful job keeping the drinks flowing and the food stocked. Speaking of, both the food and drinks were delicious! The event was a major success, and the facilitation and execution by the whole team at Marianne's is the reason.

As soon as we walked in it was as if we were warped into a different time and space. The perfect chill ambience. Service was excellent by our waiter Ross. I ordered the crafted Cassius Clay Rye cocktail with a black salt rim! Yum yum yum. We will definitely be back!Thank you for the experience
