Great atmosphere, great cocktails with fresh ingredients rather than syrups , yummy jerky as well. Will definitely be back and bring friends. Happy to have stumble upon this cool place.
The bartenders are wonderful, the cocktails are great, and the jerky is awesome. Of all the bars in SF, this is the one I'll drive up the peninsula for. :-)
Spectacular cocktails AND beef jerky (or mushroom jerky) AND you can order food from Bandit next door.
Great atmosphere. Everyone behind the bar was super nice and welcoming. Will definitely come back!
Where else can you get a $13 boilermaker that includes in-house beef jerky? Nowhere else I know of. Cocktails also slap, and felt very welcoming :)
How many cocktails can I get? How many almonds, pork rinds and jerky sticks do I need to order? Yes, I will take all of them- the drinks and snacks. The cocktails are what I dream of- innovative, in complete balance, questioning the norm- all the superb qualities we ponder in a perfect beverage. Plus the whiskey, mezcal, among many spirits appears to be hard to surpass. DO NOT PASS THIS COCKTAIL SPOT UP!!!
I was visiting SF after almost 4 years. A friend took me here for after dinner drinks. The two dudes running the bar were able to get all the drink orders within minutes despite the place being super crowded. Very cool, low-key, fun spot. The drinks being incredible is just a big bonus!
A really upscale yet chill establishment. Fantastic bar service - got drinks really quickly. And the drink was very good - I’m used to “pseudo-cocktails” where they pretend they can make something good with fancy indigents and it tastes horrible - not this place. These are cocktails that taste great and pack a punch at the same time. They know how to make a drink that leaves the punch of the alcohol yet sweetens and softens it so you can enjoy it.
The jerky is kind of a bonus - I did make a mistake of getting the sampler. 3 of the 4 were pretty spicy and I had to pace myself. But it was an experience.
Lastly, the bar was really loud and I suppose my wife and I were expecting somewhere more chill and relaxed where we could unwind instead of feeling wound up by the noise. This was the only major disappointment I suppose - but everything else about this place is top notch. Really felt like a little diamond in the rough - what they do they do it well.
Such an understated, cool place. The service is exceptional. The cocktails are clever and delicious. And the beef jerky is next level. The combination of jerky and cocktails is unique and fun. Every detail of the bar is subtle but thoughtful. We can't wait to return!
Good beers, great jerky. For $10, you can get a mini beer, shot and a little jerky pile. It's not that great of a deal, but the diversity is entertaining.
The inside is also quite welcoming, and the bartenders are hospitable. I would definitely return here.
Finally made it to Third Rail’s Cocktails of the Caribbean night(I think it’s once a month) . I enjoyed every sip of my cocktail called, Escape to Jerez🍹. Delicious!
We've gone here for our first date. It has never failed us with a balanced and tasty cocktail. The atmosphere is always pleasant to have a nice cocktail or two with loved ones. Except, when there is a game night, it could be challenging to enjoy the third rail speakeasy atmosphere.
Great service and cocktails. Jerky is fantastic. Very affordable for a bar in the city. Great happy hour specials.
