Holy Water

The drinks are strong and the staff is friendly. We try to stop in often to get a little loose and pet the neighborhood dogs.

Holy Water is one of my favorite bars and one I'd recommend people to visit even if you're in a different neighborhood of SF. The interior design is a bit unique with the religious aspect but it's an extremely cozy and cool place. Their cocktails are consistently excellent, and their beer selection is constantly rotating, varied, and high quality. This is a great date spot or somewhere to go sit and make a new friend at the bar. It can get crowded later into the night and they're often a bit slower when that happens because they don't staff up, but it is worth the wait (and I almost never feel that way). They also allow you to bring in food and/or pets. They also used to have (and maybe still do) one of the cocktails on the 7x7 best list. And an extensive selection of liquors, specifically whiskeys.

Holy Water is a fantastic neighborhood bar. Amazing selection of whiskey and mezcal, the Zombie is Delicious, and they always have some sort of high quality stout from Private Press. The lighting is mood, and they are dog friendly!

Truly amazing neighborhood bar with a wonderful atmosphere. The beers on tap are eclectic and delicious. Service was excellent and spirit selection was excellent. We will be back next time we are in SF

Chill spot, great beer and cocktails, good service
