Some of the best drinks I’ve had, excellent service and a very cool atmosphere. I would highly recommend their agave based drinks and particularly the 30mm. Was absolutely blown away by everything I drank.

Stephanie is a knowledgeable, accommodating, and excellent bartender who made sure we had a great time at this bar. It's atmosphere was subdued and accommodating. It's menu was so diverse and unique, the fungal fusion being the standout in what we tried.

I would have given this a 3 star if it wasn’t for the effort of the bartender, Allea (sp?). The place has a club vibe, a chill place for dates- not a dive bar per we, a chilly cocktail bar if that. I came in, sat at the bar. It took a few minute for any of the bar staff to acknowledge me. I looked over their menu and requested the rye rapture. The bartender gave me honest feedback, and by request made me a cocktail which they believed was the essence of the menu item and what I wanted. It was alright. They later came back and let me try the chamomile bitters (in the rye rapture, to my curiosity) and an Aztec chocolate bitters not on the menu. I feel like they caught on to my skepticism about the drink, my inquiry, and wanted to show me what the bar could offer. They ended up making me an Oaxaca Old Fashion which was spicy and Smokey in the right ways. Like any big city bar, you need to come in and interact intentionally, good bar staff will interact accordingly- at least that’s what I believe.

Love this classy bar. This is the 3rd bar my wife and I went for our annual weekend bar hopping. It's on my want-to-go list for a while, so I am glad that we visit it finally. The drinks are excellent, and the service is superb. Depending on what you order, the presentation are also quite a show. The venue is chic and classy and it looks like it will turn into a dance club after dark with DJ tables and everything. We will have to come back again.

We stumbled into this darkly lit cocktail bar on a Thursday afternoon. I heard about it from an Eater article that had recently been published. The setting itself is fantastic: the dark basement has a beautifully lit bar with seats spread out in different configurations, great for groups or a date. The menu is a great sampling of different spirits and there's definitely something for everyone. I started with the Green Door: Vida mezcal, sherry, vermouth, cucumber, honeydew melon, citrus, and agave all came together in a delicious carbonated highball. My friend had the Devil's Honey: Glenlivet 12, Martell VS, Drabuie, Beeswax and Citrus Oil --- this menu is definitely for those with a discerning palate. The drinks are well thought out and well put together, I could easily sit here and crush quite a number of them. They have a fully stocked bar so if you're looking for something a little simpler they definitely have that as well. Heads up -- the basement has limited service and depending on your cellular carrier, you may want to scan the QR code at the top of the stairs before descending. Cheers! Note: They are newly opened and still figuring things out. We noticed when we stopped by for another visit on Saturday night that the service was a little jumbled as several parties were unsure if they needed to order at the bar or not (especially because there is no clear "spot" to stand, just seats). I think all of this will get better over time, especially as they find their groove.

My visit to Bar Persona in San Francisco to celebrate the end of the year was simply amazing. From the moment we walked in, it was evident that this place was special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, adorned charmingly with balloons that created a festive and cheerful environment. The service we received from the girl who attended to us was nothing short of extraordinary. Always with a smile, her willingness to assist us was noteworthy. Her friendliness significantly contributed to the overall experience, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. The drinks were unquestionably a standout highlight of the night. They were incredibly well-crafted, showcasing a level of skill and attention to detail in mixology that truly made a difference. The drink I ordered was especially delightful, and my companions shared the same enthusiastic opinion. In terms of recommendations, Bar Persona easily tops the list. It’s a place worth visiting for those seeking a pleasant atmosphere, good music, and exceptional cocktails. The combination of festive elements, friendly service, and well-crafted drinks creates a complete and satisfying experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest this place to anyone in the area looking to enjoy a memorable night.

They have a lot of interesting cocktail options, and the atmosphere is good. I would say the drinks are slightly overpriced. That's my only complaint. I got the Arctic Elixir. If you're into anise and similar flavors, you'll like it.

Upon walking downstairs, we were immediately impressed by the cool and suave vibes of Persona. We really loved how spread out and relaxed the space felt, unlike many of the other cramped bars in the city. My partner started with the Devil in Miss Jones, while I had the Intersection. We both loved the Devil in Miss Jones, which was surprisingly well balanced. The mezcal, beets, cucumber, turmeric, ginger, lime, and celery bitters all came together beautifully and formed a nicely composed drink, with a slight bit of earthiness from the beets and smokiness from the mezcal. We both had never had a similar drink to this before, and loved it. The Intersection was pretty tasty as well, although not quite as balanced. The first few sips were balanced nicely, with the citrus, bourbon and Thai tea flavors pairing well with the egg white foam. However, the drink became a bit less balanced over time and the flavor of Thai tea in particular became a bit lost towards the end of the drink. For our second round, I ordered the Pay Close Attention while my partner ordered the Cafe Noir. The Pay Close Attention had an interesting mix of flavors with the gin, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves reminding me of flavors from Thailand. The Cafe Noir also had a nice rich coffee taste, with a hint of sweetness from the gum syrup that made it finish nicely on the palette. Overall, we really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere in Persona and tasty drinks! We would definitely come back again!
