Really cool hip (but not hipster) bar here with a mature crowd and nice dim lighting. It's a perfect date spot to get a few drinks and they're reasonably priced at about 9-10 bucks a cocktail. They've got a couch in the back and a working piano as well. The level of music is just right and not too loud to cover your conversations.

This bar has a really hip atmosphere. They've taken actual driftwood and incorporated it into the decor with furniture pieces. The drinks are good. Can't go wrong with any of the whiskey drinks. The bar tender was nice. The place is expensive though, so not going to be a regular place for me. Would probably be good for a date.

Words cannot express the laid back vibe but high end/quality drinks of this hidden gem of a place. To say the staff is above and beyond would not do it justice. Hand crafted. Artisanal drinks. Great music and live performances and an unpretentious crowd representing this amazing city. Diverse. Fun. Intelligent. Engaging.

Talk about delicious craft cocktails and a sexy mood. Definitely recommend sitting in the back area where there are some couches. If you have a chance, also order their ranch chips and their jerky. Both the ranch dip and the jerky are homemade at the bar and make a great accompaniment to any cocktail

I was visiting some friends while passing through the area. They wanted to go out for a couple late drinks and brought me to this place. It had a very welcoming atmosphere and I had a couple glasses of hard cider. It was a fun time and would definitely go back again when in the area next time.

Jack In the Box. Has excellent fast food Gary st. Up the blk. best prices and the best affordable food in San Francisco. Get you a Juicy BURGER with some Curly Fries and sit in Union Square. Then go to Macys and get you a Starbucks Cappuccino and Shop. IT'S THE BEST

Love the staff here. Everyone is so darn nice, especially Cody, and they pour a strong drink too! They have music on and DJ's who play too. We've had a few birthday parties there and it is always a good time. Good crowd, not too sloshed and very friendly. Local fave!

We went pretty early in the evening, so there was thankfully no line and the place was quiet enough for easy conversation. But make sure your phone has a flashlight on it, because you won't be able to read the menu or the tab due to the super dark mood lighting.

A bartender told me 2 diet cokes would be $8 total… and then proceeded to charge me $20. Fine, whatever but since I was charged more than double what he stated, I decided not to tip. My email receipt via Square said he added his own tip. This is ILLEGAL

Super potent drinks and great people to boot. It's a great place to host an office event! CHRIS, the owner, is SO chill and he treats you right. The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable about spirits. It is jus a fun time at Driftwood.

I had a great time at this small bar located in the SOMA district. They have several beers on their menu, plus a list of some awesome cocktails. They have a full bar, so you can order just about anything you want, even if it's not on the menu.

A great little neighborhood bar with awesome selection selection of custom cocktails and local microbrews. Super service from friendly bartender Sergio and owner Chris. Definitely a great place to meet and hang out with friends new and old.

Good bar. Dark inside. Good drinks. Nice bartenders (at least the times I've been here). The last time I was here, got a generous portion of a Glenlivet founders reserve, for $10. My friends really enjoyed the mescal based special also.

Great spot for high west w/one big cube. Was a major gay bar - seems like it's been open to the public for a while while still maintaining its heritage - if you doubt that just check out the "sculpture" in the bathroom

A cute tiny bar with dim lighting - good place for friends hangout or date. But if there happen to be a rowdy crowd you might find it hard to listen clearly. I order Hemmingway’s cousin, it’s nice but a bit plain

Nice, new bar on Folsom. Replaces Kok Bar which closed. Very friendly bartenders, great cocktails, excellent beer. A place where everyone will feel welcome. Try the special punch...it packs a punch!

Very cool vibe here. Water is available on tap so you don’t haha to wait for a bar tender for that. Great divey vibe and a pool table so it’s a nice place to hangout and relax over a couple drinks

This place is super cute. They have signs that look like they're made of real driftwood. The atmosphere is quaint and accommodating, and has a nice seating arrangement with couches in the back.

The Driftwood never lets us down. Such a great chill vibe and the owner and staff really give a s#%t about their patrons. Do yourself a favor and visit this awesome establishment✌ …

Wanting to bond with some new friends over booze last week, and, being in the area, the six of us decided to check out Driftwood, which had been sitting in my bookmarks for months.

Great drinks and bartenders. Scene there is always fun and interesting. Love the native tongue cocktail(gin, cilantro, and muddled cucumber), and beef jerky bar snacks

Fruit flies swirled in big lazy circles all around the bar, and that kinda added to the cowboy ambience, but sanitary & civilization has got to win out, guys.

This place is like queer Cheers. The best place in SoMa for a *really good* cocktail, great people, and by the end, everybody knows your name. Love. More

Always good, from before and now. High hospitality in low times. Solid cocktail offerings, I do recommend the Yuzu Buck made with scotch.

Very cool disco ball, a hip eclectic playlist and quick drinks. A good spot if you want a nautical, disco situation. Would recommend

Had a East Bay Mule and a Far East Zinger. Both were terrible. Both tasted like they used expired products that were way past due.

Excellent vibes, delicious drinks, dimly lit back room with an old collapsing red velvet couch. Everything you want in a bar.

We've wanted to try this place for a long time, since it's in our neighborhood and there always seems to be people inside.

One of my favorite local haunts. Great bartenders, the perfect mix between busy and chill. Also great beer selection.

I love this bar! Such cute decor and fun cocktails. Make sure to try the specials. They change all the time!

My local bar of choice! This place just has amazing atmosphere and quality cocktails!

Cute bar, cute queer vibe. Prices were good. Service from the bar was a little slow on the night I went.

Made our way here after shopping at Mr. S, what a great bar. Excellent drinks at reasonable prices.

Went back today. Bartender ignored me took everyone's order around, it was like wasn't there.

Great local spot with friendly bartenders and fantastic cocktails!

I'm used to driftwood just being gross logs on the beach, but this was way better!

Greatest bar of all time! Super friendly, excellent vibe, amazing bartenders

Great cocktails. Perfect size. Service is stellar. One of my favorites.
