Killer cocktailing |
398 Hayes Street (at the corner of Gough Street) San Francisco, CA 94102 +1 415 551 1590 http://www.absinthe.com/ |
While the mythical and much-hyped liqueur after which this establishment is named is not served here, many equally potent concoctions are. Specialty drinks, such as the Perfect Pear and the Ginger Rogers, seem to contain pure alcohol, and even a standard margarita packs an unbelievable wallop. If you're looking for something to help mitigate the effects of a strong drink, forget the standard peanuts in an ashtray - Absinthe's bar snacks include bread with a smooth fig spread, croque monsieur, and more. Now, don't forget that Absinthe also functions as a sit-down dining establishment, and their contemporary fare is some of San Francisco's finest. The menu changes daily, but any antipasto platter of cured meats is sure to please, as will the particularly rich duck confit. You can enjoy your meal in the main room or at a cafe-style table on the sidewalk, but if you're looking for a quieter spot, book a table in the private dining room, which even has its own entrance. Notes: The bar is open until 2a F & Sa. See website for details regarding valet parking, brunch, and "Flight Nights." Review © 2009, Wcities |
