There lots of bars around San Francisco.This bar has Boozy Floats with Guinness Stout and others with Sparkling Wine. The Ice Cream Bar is a place in San Francisco to grab ice cream in Cole Valley with or without alcohol. The inside of the Ice Cream Bar ambiance looks like a classic ice cream parlor from a television set from mid twentieth century. This place has one of my favorite ice cream flavors which is butterscotch. It doesn't have to be a Sunday to enjoy a Sundae at the Ice Cream Bar.Looking for the scoop of flavors in a cone or a bowlGo take a stroll to the Ice Cream Bar on Cole

Cannot believe I haven't written a review yet! I have been to icecream bar on several occasions, and now I live just a 10 minute walk away! This place has the coolest vibes in the world, old school, 70s soda bar vibes. The service is friendly and the ice cream is homemade and doesn't miss! My favorite is the banana pudding ice cream. Delish! The only bad thing I would say about this place is the boozy shakes are just so so. I was kind of hoping you could customize any boozy shake - i.e., make any milkshake into a boozy one. But they just have a few different kinds and I don't think there is any hard liquor. Either way, this place is rad!

There's nothing like an old timey parlor to chill out in. With retro seating and displays, it's so easy to romanticize the day. Even the servers were dressed in bow tie and paper hats, which really fit the aesthetic.Of course, all of it still pales in comparison to the ice cream. The decadent, creamy fudge chocolate with chunks inside tastes absolutely addicting and so indulgent. There's nothing to bring you back to your childhood than holding an almost comical waffle cone and ice cream. The single scoop also looks bigger inside the cone, but that might just be biased. The only issue I had was that the waffle cone was sort of grainy and a tad too salty for my tastes. This place would be PERFECT for a date. I cannot overstate the pure vibes this place has.

Step right on in and take a trip to the past. This lovely gem of an ice cream gives off ol' timey soda shop vibes. Kudos to the employees who are sharply dressed in impeccably clean white outfits, which really add to the retro atmosphere! Another thing to love about this place is that they make their milkshakes fresh on the spot and if you're so inclined they offer boozy shakes too.My friends and I've been meaning to stop by and check it out for the longest time and it definitely did not disappoint. We were all excited to try their boozy milkshakes and I had the fortune of trying the delicious Fortunato's Reviver~ The alcohol wasn't overwhelming at all and it paired excellently with the honey vanilla and walnuts. My friends got the Dublin Honey, and Royal red which were equally tasty. The royal red tasted of cherries and the the Dublin Honey was very rich and malty. I do recommend checking out this place for dessert, bring your friends or perhaps a date~

Went here for a treat. And it's a cute lil retro spot with the counters. The service was pretty nice.We got the Dublin honey drink which is a boozy ice cream thing with like honey/ caramel tasting ice cream which was really good, the beer was alright. We also got a banana split which was really good, the chocolate was really good and rich. Loved the bananas on it and the whipped cream.

The idea is cute, the execution could be better. One person was working when I got there and service was very slow. The ice cream tastes good - the alcohol idea is great but limited flavors for being called an ice cream bar. Inside feels like a vintage vibe like you're in a 80s ice cream shop.

Came on a Friday night around 7:30 and experienced a short wait. We ordered the brownie sundae with earl grey ice cream, and the earl grey flavor was wonderfully strong. The interior is absolutely adorable!

Very adorable interior that sets you back in time, while still maintaining a little bit of modern charm. It's a super cute little ice cream shop/bar that offers incredible flavors of ice cream, floats, and other assortments of desserts! Thank you to the kind lady who came to help us today, sadly didn't get her name but we'll be back because you were so kind and patient with us when we did not know what to get. Highly recommend trying their ice creams and you will not regret getting the marshmallow fluff topping! I would ask for extra toasty marshmallow though, it's so delicious. I got the junior fudge brownie ice cream with marshmallow fluff - I'd give it a 8/10, the chocolate was suuuuper sweet! But overall really good, the marshmallow fluff was a 10/10! Boyfriend got a hot ginger, super strong flavors of ginger and sugar; it was so warm and cozy on this cold and foggy afternoon. Came here for a date with the boyfriend and we both mentioned how this would make such a cute first date spot for couples. I love that this place was surrounded by families and young people, it really gave it that 'old diner' type of vibe that you don't really see in many shops anymore. Highly recommend to all nearby or visiting the city to give the Ice Cream Bar a try!

Wow I hadn't been here in years, it was nice to go back. Setting is in an old apothecary with the counter & stools. Good ice cream with familiar & also some unique flavors. There are some boozy ice cream options too. So it's good for all ages! I had 2 scoops, caramelized honey & butterscotch, yum yum. A classic place for a reason.

Came here for some ice cream after dinner on a Wednesday night around 9pm and had to wait about 10 mins. The inside is super cute, it gives retro dining vibes. I got the junior scoop of fudge brownie with marshmallow fluff topping in a waffle cone. The cone is delicious! Their ice cream is a bit salty, I'm not really sure why but I initially wanted to get the mint chocolate flavor, I tried it and it tasted salty so I went for the fudge brownie instead (without trying). When I got it, it was also a little salty but the chocolate fudge masked the salty taste pretty well.
