BlindPig Speakeasy Lounge — Restaurant in San Francisco

9/10 went here on a friday night, and it wasn't too crowded. the bouncer was also the server and he was super cool! asked us what types of alcohol we didn't like, then made a few suggestions from the menu. the drinks were all super interesting and had many asian flavors! we saw other people's drinks and they had cooler cups than ours lol t.p. gimlet 7.5/10: recommended to us by the waiter. had a strong banana / pandan flavor. was sweet but not too sweet. the vodka burned a little going down, so it wasn't my favorite. i didn't think it hid the alcohol taste much. as it got more watered down, it did though! tropicale club 10/10: recommended to us by the waiter since it's a "whiskey drink that will make non-whiskey drinkers like whiskey." and it did! the pineapple whiskey mixed so well with the milkiness and coconut flavor of the drink. couldn't taste any alcohol at all and it went down so easily. loved it would definitely want to come back and try...

This is the bar my wife and I landed at. We found the password, entered, and we were not disappointed. Our bartenders were attentive and friendly. We tried four of the cocktails (almost half the menu) and every one was dynamic, interesting, complex and delicious. There was a bit of a musty smell in the corner we sat but I was too busy enjoying my cocktails to really care much. It's not huge, but they made the most of seating and it's not too loud (also important to me). They were doing a limited menu inspired by the Black Myth: Wukong video game, and while that could turn off some and come off as kitschy or gimmicky, believe me: the drinks were amazing. Please go give this place some love. I know I'll be back next time I'm in...

ordered the Monkey King and Cold Chrysanthemum Tea. both cocktails were amazing and flavorful and well-balanced. the menu is so creative and unique, i’ve never seen some of these drink combinations at a bar before. this place truly does “craft cocktails”! the space is also beautifully decorated on-theme.

the drinks utilize house made spirits and cordials that make the drinks truly special and worth trying. the bartender is also incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.

came here on a weekday evening so it was quiet, but would love to come by again on a weekend when it’s more lively. will...
