Savoy Tivoli

After having brunch at a nearby location, my friends and I decided to explore the area and discover new bars. That's when we stumbled upon Savoy Tivoli. As soon as we entered, we were greeted with warm smiles, which I always take as a sign of excellent service--and it truly was!My group ordered three espresso martinis, and I can confidently say the martini I had was a solid 5/5. The ambiance of the place has a tiki vibe, with palm trees and dim lighting, making it perfect for a date night. The bar tender suggested we go to the back of the bar where we found a free pool table and a Bluetooth speaker for our use, which is a rarity in San Francisco. Overall, I was very impressed with the experience and will definitely be coming back!

Drinks were pretty good! There was some salsa dancing event going on! Seemed pretty fun! Service is great, bar tender made really good mocktails for us.

I stopped by Savoy Tivoli last night after a scavenger hunt and really enjoyed the vibe. Although I only stayed for one drink, the atmosphere was great, with live music adding a lively touch to the evening. The bartender was super friendly, making the experience even better. Definitely a cool spot I'd love to revisit!

Dear Yelpers,I wanted to provide an update to my last review. I have spoken to the owners and they have apologized and even asked to refund a portion of my transaction and I politely declined. I know it is a bit late of an update as this happened 5 months ago but I appreciate them taking the time to read my feedback. They have acknowledged that they can do better and that is what we all hope for. I hope their security team is provided with better training on how to handle difficult situations and they are able to learn to communicate better internally and externally.

We visited the newly renovated Savoy Tivoli on New Year's Eve for a comedy show, and enjoyed the high-spirited and easygoing atmosphere. It appears to be two separate rooms/venues, each with their own bar and style, and separate entrances (which can be a bit confusing). But inside they are attached through a doorway, with restrooms only on one side, which looks more like a nightclub scene with a lounge area (they were playing hip hop music this past Saturday), whereas the room that held the comedy show has a stage, some tables and seating, and a bar at the center, a decent event space.The architecture and decor throughout is beautiful, quirky artwork, arches along the walls, art deco lamps hanging from ceilings, palm trees and sculptures adding a nice touch to the overall setting, and of course dim and colorful lighting to set the mood.We enjoyed the comedy show as one of our stops for the night, and the drinks were decent (apparently they have an updated cocktail menu). The place was clean and looked brand new, even though I know it's really 117 years old (as of the start of 2023). All of the staff were friendly and eager to help while we were there. Only downside to our experience was the wait for drinks. It wasn't horrible, and we could see the bartenders hustling to serve patrons, but there was just 1-2 of them per bar (on New Year's Eve!), and even though it wasn't super crowded for the night (yet), service was just slow compared to what I'm used to at other bars/events.

Great place for a quick drink and live music. I had the espresso martini which was delicious and not overly strong. Listened to a jazz band which was really good.

This is a great place for a drink with amazing vibes. Drinks here were about $13-15 for a cocktail. Went with some of my girlfriends for a drink on a rainy Friday night and the place was pretty empty. The bartender was really nice and got us our drinks quickly. My friend really liked her expresso martini. The music here was great and we asked them if we could dance a little on stage and queue up some songs, they were very friendly and accommodating and it was nice to be the only ones in the bar as it got to closing time. The place has a room with a stage and another room with an additional bar and seating, there is also a pool table in the back. Overall a happy experience and a fun night!

Amazing fun. The bartender, David is the best!!!! He is so nice and service was fantastic!

This bar has an amazing vibe--perfect for a night out! The drinks are top-notch, and the live music adds to the lively atmosphere. Be sure to ask for Lanzo; he makes an excellent Old Fashioned and will take great care of you for the night!! 10/10

Don't go when they have live music because it is WAY, WAY too loud. Since the space was renovated, the space is all hard surfaces and the sound mix and general decibel level iwas absolutely intolerable. We left as soon as we finished our drinks and a bunch of other people obviously did too. For the record, I like live music a lot and see a ton of live music. It's not me.Bartender was not very nice and knowingly gave me something other than what I ordered and when I said "that's not what I ordered," he said that they were out of what I ordered. Not the right way to deal with that issue. Also, $10 for a beer is not what the menu said (which was $8) and is a ridiculous price for a beer, even in SF.
