Blind Pig Speakeasy Lounge (SF - Lower Nob Hill)

Blind Pig Speakeasy Lounge https://www.blindpigspeakeasy.com has been on our must visit list for quite some time. It is a hidden bar in the Lower Nob Hill area which you can only enter when you know the “password” (which you find weekly on their instagram page). Not surprising with owner Derrick Li’s background the drinks are very creative with ingredients you don’t see in many places and tend to have a stronger Asian twist. We came with high expectations but actually were really blown away by the quality of the drinks with very balanced, creative, unusual flavor combinations. One of the best cocktail bars we have been in San Francisco - and definitely not our last visit

One of our current favorite cocktail bars in San Francisco is the Blind Pig Speakeasy Lounge https://www.blindpigspeakeasy.com on Polk. Wonderful complex, yet delicious cocktails with often a strong asian twist. Also, loved their “roll-the-dice” cocktail “game” where you get a different cocktail (but you don’t know the overall selection) depending on the number you get with the dice. This time it was a fernet branca based one which was herbaceous, citrusy with hints of sweetness.

Roll the Dice Cocktail - Fernet branca, grapefruit, oleo, whipped dole cream

White Dragon Horse - Angel’s envy bourbon, vanilla black tea, pamplemousse, house bitters, smoke

Black Wind Dragon (N/A) - Abstinence cape agave, blueberry, pineapple, lemon, agave nectar

My map shows that solidly in Polk Gulch rather than Lower Nob Hill.
