Went here for a quick drink and bite.We had the pinot noir and the prosciutto pizza.Service was attentive and nice. We sat at the bar. The aesthetic is very on fleek over here, so I could see this as a date night drink spot but it better not be the last stop or only stop kind of thing. The pizza was good but it wasn't crazy all that. It's bar quality and it fulfilled the emptiness that was in my stomach.I'd go back but like if I was in the area and needed a nearby watering hole.

This cute little bar was just a block or so from the Hilton and had a clean nice atmosphere. The drinks were creative and food was good. Service was good early on but once it got crowded we needed to order at the bar. They have a downstairs room that can be reserved for groups.

Staying nearby so decided to pop in for a late dinner last night. We sat down and it took a while to get acknowledged, we were finally given menus but never got told to order at the bar so it took us seeing another party order there first before realizing. That's the reason for 4 stars. But other than that we really enjoyed the food here! The chicken pesto sandwich was very flavorful and the roasted ciabatta bread was the star. I ordered the baby kale salad with salmon and the jicama slaw and toasted pepitas really did it for me. We didn't get drinks this time but they had a good selection of craft cocktails, canned drinks, etc. Cozy aesthetic and moody lighting inside. Would come again!

Can't recommend High Horse enough! They accommodated a big party for us and we were able to have an intimate space downstairs with our own bar. It felt like a one man show sometimes, the bartender was also the server and waiter, which we saw him running around. Nonetheless the service was fast and efficient and appreciated them for settling us so quickly. The small bites were really good! The ahi tuna and taro chips, potato skins, and Brussels sprouts were a table favorite. I got a white wine, and I was surprised how filled my glass was, it was a great surprise! Overall really recommend for a quick happy hour or get together. Their service is amazing and we felt really well accommodated. Thank you to the High Horse team!

Great ambiance, small plates and hand crafted cocktails by Suzanna ! She was attentive and customize my drink to my liking

Wonderful Bar and great service. During this visit, I wasn't able to try some of the food offerings, but from what I saw, a lot of the other patrons were enjoying the food - looked appealing and appetizing. This was intended to be a brief stop before dinner. The drinks are hand crafted and made with love, and they also have some background music playing - still able to have a conversation with your friends. A great location, friendly staff, and they left an impression. Will definitely return to try another cocktail and perhaps food next time around.

Very nice bar, was really quiet since was Friday after thanksgiving but i can imagine that place with more customers im sure have a great vibe.The bartender really nice and sweet was also decorating for the holidays ( sorry i forgot to ask her name)

Nobody is getting off their high horse when enjoying a libation at High Horse. Located in the heart of San Francisco's Financial District in the Jackson Square neighborhood, directly across the street from the Transamerica Pyramid, High Horse is one part tavern, one part restaurant, and all class thanks to its restoration, in which the building in which High Horse resides has lived a number of lives before they moved in and set up. Originally a mercantile in the mid 1800's, the building was once served as a whiskey business, interior design firm, and then many a bar and restaurant most notably Aventine. As they say if these walls could talk, as this location survived landfill, seawall creation, earthquakes, fires, and gentrification to make the neighborhood one of the more stylish areas of the city. As they say, if these walls could talk, as the owners of High Horse chose to open a couple of years ago, in what was arguably one of the most challenging times for any restaurant to open in the city. As a group of friends and I were in the neighborhood one weekday afternoon, we looked for an inviting place for a quick drink and maybe to enjoy a shareable meal. High Horse, with its inviting parklet built outside their exterior and plenty of additional seating inside with a huge bar and plenty of high top tables to sit at, it was calling our name.The one thing we did notice was that upon entry, one bartender was doing it all in front of the house, from taking orders, to creating cocktails to cleaning up, he was the only one seemingly working, which was truly impressive. The drink menu at High Horse is separated into categories including Thoroughbreds and Draft Horses, which are their cocktails sold at two different price points; The Cart Before the Horse, which are shot and beer combos; Beer and Wine. The food menu at High Horse is separated into categories including Small Bites, Sandwiches, Pizzas, and Salads. For my drink I ordered their Pegasus cocktail which was made with tequila, salted rosemary syrup, and grapefruit juice, while my dining mates ordered a glass of the 2022 Whispering Angel Rosé sourced from Provence in Southern France and the Fort Point "Super Dry" Cider sourced from right here in San Francisco. To pair with our meal, we split the Fontina Pizza, which was topped with Pancetta and Broccoli Rabe, which was larger than expected and enough for three slices a person and all of them hearty. Our drinks would come first, and my cocktail was a smooth fruit forward delight, then our pizza came out, and although the dough was not the softest, which gave me the impression the pizza may have been pre-baked and served but believe it or not, it actually tasted pretty good. Our total bill was about 23 dollars a person, which in this day and age was rather reasonable.We enjoyed ourselves so much that we would return after work a few weeks later, and this time I ordered the Green Unicorn cocktail, which had um, Velvet Falernum, pineapple juice, lime juice and mint bitters, and then we split their Prosciutto Pizza with pesto, smoked mozzarella and topped with a farm egg, in addition to a side of French Fries. My cocktail was a uniquely crafted green colored delight served in a cuvee glass, and actually paired really well with the savory dishes of pizza and fries. This pizza was much better than the first one we ordered and at two dollars more, I would order this one again upon a return visit. Once again, our total bill when shared came to about twenty dollars a person. High Horse is something this neighborhood needs, as every time I walk by the place is filled with customers both inside and outside, which no doubt entices people passing by to come in for a quick drink and bite to eat. Open for lunch and dinner hours on weekdays and only dinner hours on Saturday, the people running High Horse know exactly what they are doing by bringing a little class and affordability to a neighborhood that could always use a little bit of both.

Service - 5 stars - There was only one bartender there at the time but she was fast and attentive. She answered my questions about the menu and provided recommendations because I asked for something not too sweet.Food - 3 stars - I ordered a greens salad with salmon on top. The salmon was cooked and seasoned well but the salad lacked a lot of flavor for me. There was supposed to be a lemon basil vinaigrette but I didn't taste it at all. Also, this is probably a personal preference, but the cheese, which was Gorgonzola, tasted sour to me when mixed with the greens and veggies. I put some pepper on the salad but it didn't do much to help.Drinks - 4 stars - I got a High Horse which the bartender recommended as not too sweet. It was refreshing.
