Elixir
The Verdict
"A bartender's choice cocktail and a seat at the original mahogany bar. The corner of 16th and Guerrero has held a saloon since 1858."
What you need to know
The Drinks
Cocktail menu rotates regularly with seasonal ingredients and house infusions. The bar pioneered the local craft cocktail movement and sources from Bay Area distilleries when it can. Classic builds done correctly are always available even when not on the printed menu.
The Space
Long, narrow corner bar with the old mahogany counter, a few tables, and a back room with banquettes. The crowd is neighborhood Mission with industry regulars who come for the bartender’s choice.
