our story

A neighborhood craft cocktail bar offering Mexican regional plates with an extensive menu featuring the best traditional Mezcals available. Located in Russian Hill with hits steep hills and famous crooked Lombard Street. We are a great destination for gatherings with drinks, dinner, happy hour, late night kitchen and weekend brunch.

Our space is lively, casual, and artsy. Known as a place to take things offline. Conversation pieces range from a Mezcal Altar, a wall of pickled vegetables, Huichol beaded artwork, Chacmool sculpture, beautifully lighted Mezcal locker wall and an exterior mural. 

We commissioned local artist and muralist Brian Barneclo to reflect the story of Mezcal on the face of our restaurant building. For more on the mural visit: Mezcalito Mural
