An example of a Flowing Bowl Happy Hour Punch:

Old Sydney-Town Punch

An Elixir original, Old Sydney-Town was the area

that eventually became know as The Barbary Coast.

It was a place full of debauchery.

A place a punch like this would have been drunk.

Bols Genever, St. Elizabeth's Allspice Dram, Orange Juice, Lemon Juice and Pineapple Gum; Served hot!

(for this cold weather)

Join us every Wednesday for a new bowl of punch at

The Flowing Bowl Happy Hour.

Take a Peek Inside Elixir

Elixir is a neighborhood bar that has been serving its neighborhood for as long as there has been a record of this corner (1858). Now that's some history!

Behind the stick at this classic saloon you'll find friendly bartenders, an amazing selection of spirits and beers and some of the freshest cocktails in the city. We are dedicated to the tradition of a comfortable corner bar, where everyone is welcome. What you'll find different is our equal dedication to the selection and quality of drinks that you'd normally find in more upscale and "downtown" establishments. We try to mix things up regualarly, providing fresh and seasonal cocktails, locally brewed and unique beers, organic selections and education about it all.

So come pull up a stool, put a tune on the jukebox and make some memories. You'll walk away with the experience you always wanted in friendly neighborhood bar...and then some.
