The Butterfly Lounge

Beautiful lounge inside Hotel Majestic.Really neat drinks made by the wonderful bartender Phani

Bizarre old hotel and bar. Incredibly nice bartender with lackluster wine list and mediocre drink list.

We popped by last weekend for some cocktails after dinner. We had a group of 4 and came around 8:30pm on a Friday. It was fairly quiet when we arrived but busy by the time we left a few hours later.I had the Paloma smoked and it was fantastic. Our bartender was friendly and knowledge. The rest of my group also had their drinks smoked - so fun and we caught the attention of everyone else who was here!If you are looking for a quieter spot with excellent drinks - look no further!!

The drinks were great. The bar tender was friendly - he toasted marshmallows for the entire bar after making our drinks.

It's been a while since I wrote a Yelp review. When thinking of spots, I remembered this bar I stumbled upon last year. I met up a girlfriend at Butterfly Lounge on a weeknight sometime in November. The space itself is rather small. Just a short bar and I believe a few tables as well. It wasn't very busy that evening, so I was able to grab a seat next to my gf.We had a few drinks throughout the night as we were here for about 1.5 hours. Got a pour of scotch and this great drink called Liquid Campfire. Such a fun smokey cocktail. I loved how they unveiled it! The bartender was wonderful! I can't recall his name, but he was so sweet and attentive. My gf and I had a great time sipping on cocktails and talking the night away.If you're staying at Hotel Majestic (or are just in the area), definitely check out this bar! It's intimate, but has a nice cozy vibe. Who knew a great neighborhood bar existed in a hotel?

This place was the exceptional bar that everyone wishes was right down the street. The bartender was talented, the drinks including the Smokey popular drinks were strong and delicious. the bartender was flexible and we had fun making up drink combos. I was suddenly really hungry and it was late, but was able to get some delicious food brought from the hotel. Highly recommend! Well be back for the next SF staycay~

We were in SF for my belated birthday celebration--we had just finished up at a champagne bar, and our dinner reservation wasn't for another hour. I quickly checked Yelp for a business that would keep the party going and that was near the restaurant, and the Butterfly Lounge stood out as the obvious choice.The interior decoration is regal, the bartender dress code is classy, and the drinks are colorful and imaginative.My date loves smokey flavors and dark liquor, so I had already known that he would pick the Liquid Campfire. This is the drink everyone gets: the one kept in a jar of smoke. He enjoyed the little show, and the drink was great, too.My eye first went to the "Buy Two Drinks, Get One Free" checkin, so I took care of that like nobody's business.I like clear alcohol, and like my drinks either fruity and refreshing, or thick and creamy. I didn't see a drink with egg whites on the menu, so I first ordered the Pear Water and ordered the Lady Lisa second.The pear water had a bit of zing...it was crisp but sour. I liked it but I wouldn't order it again.The Lady Lisa is a tad sweeter and more refreshing, thanks to the berries and mint. I enjoyed that drink very much and would be inclined to order it again.The service was a bit lacking from our server, as we were sitting at one of the lounge tables since the bar was full. She seemed to be frequently distracted by some of the other patrons.Overall this was an extremely positive, memorable experience. I would recommend it to all people of varying alcohol preferences.

We're from San Diego, looked on yelp where we can find a good beverage. Came here and Mike was amazing!!! Every drink he made was deliciouses. He gave us stories about the building, it used to be a mansion wow!!! Just great stories.

This is the coolest low key spot. The bar tender is amazing and makes you custom cocktails. Keep it hush hush because this is a gem that is going to blow up when Tik tok finds out. I cannot recommend this enough.

Ask for the Carl special "smoked butterfly fashion". Incredibly tasty- light at first with a strong bold profile and smokey finish.
