Trick Dog
The Verdict
"Go for the themed menu (Pantone cards, conspiracy theories). Walk-in only, gets busy."
What you need to know
Trick Dog opened on 20th Street in the Mission in 2013. The owners reinvent the cocktail menu about twice a year around a different concept: Pantone color cards, conspiracy theories, the periodic table, vinyl records. Every cocktail is built with house-made syrups, infusions, and bitters. Two-time James Beard finalist for Outstanding Bar Program.
The Drinks
The menu changes themes every six months. Twelve to fifteen cocktails per menu. Classics are available off-menu on request.
The Food
Bar food: deviled eggs, crispy potatoes, fried chicken sandwich, burger.
