Nice spot to share drinks and small bites with friends; great dry options on the N/A menu which makes it much more inclusive for those abstaining. Sharable small bites are varied and tasty. Would recommend for smaller groups as seating relatively limited, indoor and outdoor seating available but outside can be a bit chilly. More

My new favorite cocktail bar! I ended up trying every cocktail on the menu and I was blown away by the craftsmanship of each drink. Extremely aesthetically pleasing to look at and the drinks were well balanced. Each drink varies on flavor but you could get hints of fruity pebbles, melon juice, oat milk berry smoothie.

This team definitely knows their cocktails. We had some of the best mixed drinks (Urban Jungle, Faithful Fowl and Sake). They took time to pair our Sake to the cocktails we were drinking and frequently checked in. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and similar to a speak easy. Highly recommend! More

The level up - This was one of the best cocktails I think I’ve ever had. The flavour combo was honestly insane and I could have drank another 5. I woke up the next day still thinking about how good it was. Definitely high end pricing but I think it’s absolutely worth it. More

Fantastic and creative cocktails—personally loved the Faithful Fool and the Okinawa. This is such a great post-date, late-night spot because it’s cozy and dark and somewhat intimate—but also appropriate for smaller friend gatherings. Great upscale bar overall!

This is a great upscale cocktail bar and a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. My fiancee and I came on the opening day. For the first round we had a Wildcard and a Middle Child along with the kara-age, all of it was incredible! For the

Bar Iris has been on my list of cocktail bars to try for awhile! It definitely lived up to all the hype. I tried the Faithful Fool and the Pop Quiz and they were both incredible. They weren’t too boozy which was great for two cocktails on a

The Japanese-inspired menu and lovely hosts (including Pepper, the mascot dog), made Bar Iris feel warm and inviting. The Middlechild cocktail, featuring sugar snap pea, was light and botanical. Loved it! The Okinawa yam cocktail with oat

one of my new favorite bars in the city. all of the cocktails were balanced and creative, the interior was moody without seeming pretentious and bartenders friendly and knowledgeable. overall, a top tier bar in the city and would try the

Mellow cocktail bar that just opened on Upper Polk. The cocktails were excellent and I enjoyed the relaxed vibe inside. I tried the Faithful Fool and the Pop Quiz. Both had bright, tasty flavors and were a bit different from what I would

Honestly, you need to work on those “croquetes”. Just smash potatoes, nothing special and I had to literally open the croquette to double check if there was some meat in it, since the description in the menu mentioned something about it.

This place has a lovely vibe and amazing cocktails! Would highly recommend a visit if you are in SF. The prices are reasonable for cocktails of this calibre. Definitely will come back to try their other cocktails in the future!

If you want a fancy cocktail bar with cool cocktails, look no further than Bar Iris. Service was great but this place gets really busy during peak hours so getting a table can be hard. One of my favorite bars in SF. More

The Alley cat cocktail alone makes this a place worth returning to - but the Okinawa Yam based drink elevates it to an institution. Service can be a bit slow, but the staff were very accommodating on this point.

Exquisite cocktails with very unique flavors. They have a drinks menu but they can create any cocktail on demand. It's pretty incredible. The music is so good that it really puts you in a good mood. More

delicious cocktails. the food is on the snack side except for the fried chicken whick was really good. don't recommend the grilled onigiri unless you're willing to eat a lot of rice

Stylish and sophisticated cocktail bar with a unique and innovative cocktail menu, as well as a carefully curated selection of Japanese whiskeys and other spirits.

Pristine ambiance, yummy little bites, cocktails were creatively unique and very tasty. Super glad we came in on a less than usually busy night, it gets busy! More

I had an enchanting evening at Bar Iris, where the cozy and intimate atmosphere set the stage for a memorable experience.

Did not have time to experience more than one cocktail but everything was good... cocktail, service, atmosphere More
