Linden Room

Linden Room is one of my favorite spots in the city. It's a tiny place so ideal to go for a quiet and classy date night vibe. They have a unique cocktail selection, and everything I've tried has been top-notch with the perfect balance of flavors. At any cocktail bar my usual order is the classic manhattan, and they happened to make one of the best manhattans I've had! Service-wise, the bartenders have always been sweet and attentive. And, something I typically don't comment on - probably the best "bar bathrooms" in the city - includes Aesop hand wash, cotton hand towels, and scented candle.

4.5 STARSWho remembers when Hayes Valley was just a freeway exit?I was still learning my ABCs but it's nothing like I remember it to be.Tech and gentrification came, and it became one of the hottest neighborhoods in the city. If you're looking for a poppin' spot to drink and eat...you'll find it in Hayes Valley.But, if you're not...and just want a quiet, low-key spot to get your classy drank on...Linden Room. One of the reviews I've slept on, they're a speakeasy from Nightbird that opened in 2016. Still as solid today as my first visit back then.* No rezzies, walk-in only so highly recommend making this your first stop of the night. * No parties over 4. Best to come with another person max. * Eight seats with comfy stools that will support a big booty...natural or not. * Solid seasonal craft cocktails ($17-$20) that are STRONG so you get your monies worth. * Bartender(s) that know their sh*t. * Dim, ambient lighting so what filter?AND, when the drunchies hit afterwards, you have plenty of solid options within walking distance to fit any budget. My vote is for the squirting dumplings down the block. ;)

I hate to be drawing attention to this place because I want to keep it a secret but one of the best speakeasy experiences I have had. Small area, cozy spaces to seat 8 people. First come first serve, no reservations. The cocktails are phenomenal! The bartenders know their stuff. The drink menu's unique & of quality ingredients. Great intimate spot to start off your night. Ralphie boy & This Thyme are my favorite. Cheers!

This spot is less than a 10min walk from my spot and I just now got to experience it after almost a year. The interior is so small and it is mostly standing - there are about 8 seats so if you are one of the lucky ones, yay! Otherwise big parties are probably not ideal and you should be prepared to stand. Interior has a lit up bar shelf and 2 kind bartenders.The drinks are seasonal and when I went, it was floral heavy which isn't my palette - but it was still nonetheless a well crafted cocktail! No reservations either - walk in first come first serve type spot!

I love the spot, what a great vibe and and environment! Rebeca made amazing drinks and was very sweet, and my whole experience was great! I will definitely be back again!

Such a cute speakeasy! Definitely not a place for large gatherings. I was shocked by how small the bar was, they max party size out at 4.I believe there was only 8 chairs in the whole bar, so my party of 4 was standing for a while watching like a hawk for any open seating. Drinks are extremely strong, I would recommend the harvest moon -- had lovely citrusy notes.

Cozy speakeasy style bar with a very unassuming entrance. Inside, it's a small intimate standing area with dim lighting and a well stocked bar. I ordered the ralphie boy and it was delicious - one of the best cocktails I've had at a bar, well balanced and not too sweet. Quite expensive though, but such is SF. I came here around 6 as a way to kick off the night. Not too busy, but not sure how it gets later in the night. More people started to come in as it got later.

Linden room has hit my top 5 in the city. Wow this place is amazing! The cool breeze was so good. I am a Gin drinker and loved it. I would love to start then end my night here. This trip it was the 2nd stop but was such a nice experience for sure! So happy to have made it in. Service it top notch! The place is small but clean and so well kept.

Really love their glassware! I finally came in with my partner as we have been wanting to try this place out. We are a huge fan of fancy cocktails that highlight the flavor profiles of the liquor used. We ordered a vesper and gin martini. Both very delicious and crisp. The area is TINY but it is what makes it unique and cozy. People are friendly. You have to scope out when the next person is getting ready to leave so you can snag a chair if you'd like to sit. This place has an entrance in an alley way which is cute with speakeasy type vibes (not a speakeasy). Bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend!

The drinks here were absolutely incredible! They're on the slightly pricier end but they taste sooo good - maybe my favorite cocktails in the city! The space is very small and you can enter with a group of 4 max.
