“It’s a pseudo-secret, just above the bustling scene at China Live, accessible via stairwell; black bats painted on the walls lead the way to the door. Inside is a swanky, Scotch-filled bar where the bartenders wear tuxedos, and the vibe is modern Shanghai with a dash of old school San Francisco. Drinks are heavy on the Scotch, and there are many to choose from, so don’t be shy.” – High-End Scotch Concoctions Headline the New Menu at Chinatown’s Cold Drinks Bar – EaterSF

    There was no AC and extremely hot making for an uncomfortable experience. Menu selection was average. Not sure where the great reviews stem from.

    Too many junk fees! They tax you on the mandatory 20% service charge

    Great place to grab cocktails. Did not try the food the last time I visited. Cocktails are priced on the higher end after the 20% service charge.

    Excellent experience! Love a bar where the emphasis is on the creation of well balanced and delicious drinks as opposed to one that looks fabulous and tastes mid. Definitely recommend!

    Unique space above China Live. Unique, tasty cocktails and great bourbon selection. Pricey as 4 drinks with included tip topped $100 but I guess that’s SF norm now.
