Bar Kabuki

I came here last week for a friend's birthday. I really enjoyed the ambiance and it was a great place to get to sit down and have a conversation with other people. I tried their Paper Crane drink which was sweet. It was really unique since it had sesame oil in it. The Suppai drink is really good too! Highly recommend coming here if you would like a more intimate setting where you can sit down and be able to chat with the company you're with. They also have a free coffee machine at hand as well.

I am a big fan of this place. The ambiance is wonderful in the most comfortable way. The service and drinks are great. This is a great place to catch up with an old friend or get to know a new one.

Apparently they do not have happy hour anymore. :( Nice, small selection of draft beers and non alcoholic selections. However, a Calicraft ipa was $13.57 on 5/17/24! That seems a bit much even by SF standards. Bartender was pleasant.

Came here for a bday. Good spot to catch up and chat with friends. The lychee cocktail was my favorite so I ended up getting 2 of them. Wish it came with an actual lychee though. The supai drink was my second favorite since I'm a fan of egg whites and the drink was also well balanced. I tried the paper crane drink and thought it was ok (the sesame oil smelled good, but I would prefer not to have that in the drink). Drinks are pricey here though, probably since it's a hotel bar.

Amazing lychee cocktail from our wonderful bartender Cici! Such a wonderful place to enjoy great drinks while celebrating a birthday!

This was a nice classy bar in Japantown to grab a drink at. I loved the decor, it was a mix of eastern and modern with unique details throughout the lobby. There was a lot of seating including tables by the bar and comfy couches. The drinks were a little pricey ($16-20 for a cocktail) but they were pretty tasty and strong!

Drinks are amazing here despite being in a hotel. The lobby has a few seating spaces that's good for groups for happy hour. Get the lychee drink!

Another place I have been frequenting for many decades and I was enjoyed. It hasn't changed it's just gotten better. It's classic and it's timeless.

The staff here is fantastic. The first evening we stopped by it was a bit slow. That allowed time for some tastings here and there, particularly as I built a vodka negroni with just the right ingredients. So delicious! We were there early on New Year's Eve. Talking about drinks, I mentioned a Butterfinger, which is vodka, Baileys, Kahlua and butterscotch schnapps. Of course they didn't have the schnapps, so we decided to substitute grenadine and created a Chocolate Covered Cherry. It quite literally tasted like a chocolate covered cherry. It was goooood. She made several small glasses and shared them around to bar to other customers. Everyone agreed it was quite tasty.On our third night we each had two drinks and they offered a round on the house, which was extremely kind.They will be open one more night before closing Monday and Tuesday. We will stop by again to have a drink and say goodbye to our new bartending frineds.

Love the space because it is such quality Japanese craftsmanship and furnishings. Our bartender, Porsche was timely, friendly and knowledgeable as we approached the moment she opened. We'll be back soon. Thanks
