Bar Piccino is actually an extension of Piccino restaurant where they serve drinks and some food. The bar mainly focuses on negroni but I got the Milano superstar and it was delicious. The bar has good ambiance so I could see it as a good date place as well!

Bar Piccino, the bar extension of the Dogpatch restaurant Piccino, offers a tempting spot for after-work drinks and shareable plates. While it boasts a cool vibe and some delicious bites, a few stumbles kept it from being a slam dunk.Bar Piccino strikes a nice balance between upscale and casual. The indoor space itself is rather minimalistic and intimate with dim lighting and limited seating (which makes it a cool spot for a date night). Aim for an off-peak time or be prepared to wait for a spot, especially on the weekends. They do have some outdoor seating space but definitely bring a layer because you know it - it gets chilly in the night. When we visited Bar Piccino, we were the only group inside, and there were maybe 2 groups that were seated outside. On a Friday night, it was surprisingly very quiet. My friends and I ordered drinks at the counter and grabbed what appeared to be the only round table in the bar. My first observation when I looked at their menu was that their non-alcoholic drinks cost almost the same as their cocktails and other alcoholic drinks, which to me was a bit surprising and disappointing. The other thing that stood out was that their non-alcoholic drinks, at least some of them, were basically the alcohol free version of their cocktails. Anyways, we tried their Oxacan Holiday and Lust in the Dust cocktails. They were both pretty decent. I liked the Oxacan holiday more than the Lust in the Dust.Oxacan holiday had smoky notes from the mezcal and a hint of honey, citrus, and spices. Lust in the Dust had peppery agave flavor from the tequilla and sweet and tart flavors from the passion fruit and the pear. Bar Piccino has its charms. If you're looking for a trendy spot with a casual vibe and solid drinks, Bar Piccino is worth a try.

Found myself in Dogpatch, looking for a spot to gram a cocktail or glass of wine, with a few colleagues, and find this spot - perfect! Had a great mezcal cocktail, and others had wine, cocktails and coffee. Great ambiance, vibe and service. Great spot!

We love this spot! It's a stunning space with phenomenal drinks and everyone who works here is lovely. They have a limited menu of food from the main restaurant. There's a seating area behind the bar down a ramp that's really cozy late at night.

Trendy upscale bar. Enjoyed our cocktails. Hard to narrow down bc all of the cocktails sounded like something I wanted to try. So I finally chose the Boulevardier. And it was a great choice. Luckily my Daughter picked the Oaxacan bird since that was my runner up choice and I was able to sample. Bottom line...you can't go wrong with either. Both so different and still unique and great. The Oaxacan bird was a tad fruity and tart but not sweet. I like that it was served in a martini glass. The Boulevardier was more spicy and had a kick to it. My kinda drink even though I prefer martini glass. Bar tender was friendly enough and knowledgable but he disappeared on us. Overall it is a great little bar.

I'll keep it short because I'm buzzed but...IF you love craft cocktails made with top-shelf, small-batch booze, check out Bar Piccino (owned by Piccino). Tell Dominic what you like and and how you like it....wait that's sounds dirty. Let me try again, tell him the flavor profiles you like, and he'll make a customized cocktail for you. Don't like it? Tell him, and he'll make you different one that you'll like. Cheers! OTHER INFO* Open 4 pm-midnight on weekends. And, I believe 4 pm - 9 pm on Wednesday-Thursday. * Located next door to Piccino (great pizzas+pastas) so you can grab a drink before dinner. * Kitchen opens at 5 pm for bar bites. * The three cocktails I had: cloudview, dogpatch negroni, and vesper were well-balanced and stiff. * DD had lemonades, non-alcoholic ($8 each). * Bar bites: Crispy maitake 'shrooms ($15) and Potato tostones w/ salmon roe ($12) were both just ok. Skip the tostones; they were like semi-smashed roasted potatoes. * One of the bartenders seemed annoyed when I asked about the clears they had (brands I've never seen) so thankfully the other bartender helped us. * One standing dog-friendly table outside. * Street parking only. Kinda difficult.

Need a top tier spot for a date? Dinner and drinks with no reservation? Got turned away because the Piccino restaurant is too busy? Have no fear, Bar Piccino is here haha. This elevated spot is more than just your average bar, with a FIRE small bites menu, separate sunken dining lounge, personable service, and obviously a lovely array of drinks (awesome non-alcoholic cocktails too!)Don't be deterred by the limited menu, the dinner we had at Bar Piccino surprisingly rivaled most SF restaurants I've made reservations for. The star of the night was the deliciously decadent Raviolo All'Uovo, with runner-ups of the winter salad and arancinis.Bar Piccino remains a hidden gem with its recent opening, but with its beautiful ambience and quality menu I'm sure it'll become a fan favorite for everyone in the Dogpatch.

Small but nice bar behind the Piccino restaurant. You can sit along the bar or side wall or stand around the island across the bar. There are coat hooks under the island which is a nice touch. The staff is knowledgeable and great with recommendations to fit your tastes. There's a variety of cocktails, beer, and wine, with some non alcoholic drinks as well. The lighting and music is very romantic, with more of a chill and quiet atmosphere compared to other bars. A very nice bar to go to after dinner or at the start of a bar crawl! There's also snacks and food you can order to go with your drink.

Got funneled over here after walking in to Piccino without a reservation did not pan out - but I will say Bar Piccino was such a wonderful detour (I actually didn't even know it opened). The space is beautiful, and there were cozy window bar seats that my friend and I sat at. We ordered a couple bar bites - the focaccia (nice flavors and loved the incorporation of nectarine but I was sad that it was flatbread rather than actual focaccia), English pea arancini (such lovely crispy bites), and pizza salsiccia (hearty and savory on a nice thin crust) - as well as a cocktail (I'm forgetting the name but it had gin and peach with other fruits - so summery and refreshing). The staff was attentive and friendly and overall it was just a warm, peaceful place to relax after a work day.

We were seated at this weird back table - it wasn't a room, it was just a small 4 top that was walled off from the rest of the restaurant, with an exit door so close to the table.Food and drinks were aobe average, service was excellent.
