-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
