A Secret Beneath Union Square. Located just a few blocks from Union Square and situated within a beautiful brick basement, beneath the hustle and bustle, lays Hawthorn: a state-of-the-art lounge bar and nightlife venue. In the late 1800's this area of San Francisco once housed lustful brothels and drug-stores, today however, the space has been completely re-imagined for an elite bar and nightlife experience. Featuring two intimate rooms, the first accented by Austrian drapes and deep purple ceiling swathes with plenty of lounge seating and room to dance if the evening takes you there, while the other room is a more hidden and private experience that boasts classic décor inspired by 1930’s Hollywood. For early evening Happy Hour cocktail guests, Hawthorn offers a full craft cocktail menu as well as signature favorites, lovingly prepared by some of the cities finest mixologists. As the night evolves, indulge your senses with the help of a world-class VOID sound-system, custom made for the space and designed in the UK. Whether you arrive in the evening, or late into the night, Hawthorn strives to provide a comfortable and playful atmosphere uplifting the spirit with cocktails, art, music and dance.

SOMA Garden is your new destination for responsible social distancing gatherings featuring gourmet street food, crafted cocktails, and music.

An after hours drink or get together to take the edge off shouldn’t be associated with the added stress of trekking downtown through traffic. Come to a spot close to the office and far from the noise, where you can relax on garden patio seating or at a full indoor bar, play a game of pool and enjoy a warm meal/cold brew for lunch, happy hour or dinner. You’ll be surrounded by people who take their jobs just seriously enough that you don’t have to worry about yours. Our Patio Tiki Bar is open for larger or special events, and is fully heated and covered during the winter and rainy seasons.
