The 25 Best Cocktail Bars in America

"you can always count on something fresh getting smashed in a glass.

Elixir also hand-selects a barrel of Buffalo Trace bourbon. Makes a killer Manhattan"

-GQ Magazine, October 2010

2010 Bartender of the Year

H. Joseph Ehrmann

"...his receipt of the Nightclub and Bar Bartender of the Year Award

is a testament to his abundant and well-known mixological skills,

but also for the way he's built a small neighborhood saloon

into a thriving San Francisco landmark"

- Jack Robertiello, Nightclub and Bar Magazine

Top 100 Bars in America

Food and Wine Magazine's 2009 & 2011 Cocktail Books

The 20 Best Cocktails in America

"At an old saloon in the Mission District, Elixir owner H. Joseph Ehrmann

hasn’t just taken the Mary out of the Bloody Mary; he’s severed the old broad’s head.

Think sturdy, briny, and hyperspiced."

-Will Welch, GQ Magazine August 2008

Best Bars In America (twice)

"San Francisco is sprouting a ton of new, interesting cocktail bars. Alembic,

Elixir, and Rye -- to name just three -- are all doing very serious cocktails. "

-David Wondrich, Esquire Magazine June 2008

Elixir continues to be on the "COMPLETE LIST" in 2011

"...there's something a century and a half of colonization by drunks does to a place that

no amount of drywall and paint can quite cover up. Whether you call it "atmosphere"

or "funk," we like it — especially if you throw in excellent cocktails

and a fine selection of whiskeys."

-David Wondrich, Esquire Magazine June/July 2010

"There are also some great cocktail bars in the area. One of them is Elixir."

-Dale "King Cocktail" Degroff

"From wine cocktails to the greening of the bar, there's hardly

a San Francisco cocktail trend that H. doesn't have a hand in. "

-Jon Bonné, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Editor

" World class cocktails... This quintessential neighborhood watering hole offers

something every night... You'll also find a wide-selection of American and hard-to-find

European brews... The daily happy hour from 3-8pm packs 'em in, and Mission

bar hoppers fill up the joint on weekends."

-Citysearch Editor Stephanie Laemoa

"the manhattan made here with Elixir's hand-selected barrels of Eagle Rare Bourbon is a treat."

- Jonathan Beckhardt, Bay Guardian

"I’d describe Elixir as an old-west gold rush saloon, gone modern, gone retro.

Rustic, a little chic and definitely happening..."

- Nathalie Bovis-Nelson, The Liquid Muse

"The best football watching vibe I've seen in the city"

- Jordan Mackay, 7x7 Magazine
