I enjoyed the unique experience that this bar offered. The atmosphere was outstanding and uniquely themed. Drinks were professional both visually and in taste. Cocktails were certainly more exotic than usual, but they were delectable. The service was adequate as well.

We had a good time here for a game designer meetup we organized. Cool setting and the music wasn't too loud so it was easy to chat! Drinks were great also!

Went here on New Year’s Eve! They had loads of Christmas themed items which was adorable. The interior was beautifully decorated with lights and their music selection included Doja Cat. The staff were attentive and made very yummy drinks!

This spot is so cool. The cocktails are fun and usually pretty amazing. The staff are sweet even when they're stretched thin across a lot of tables. The decor is amazing, and especially for holidays sometimes, but I think I like even more when it's not. They also have some TVs around to watch a game or make conversation about a movie playing, but where they're not overly distracting. Bar and table seating are equally attractive, and it's close to Bart and downtown. Great spot for a group of friends or a more casual date

Awesome spot for cocktails in the SOMA area, the vibes here are great and the drinks are immaculate! This cocktail bar is owned by the same people as Pacific Cocktail Haven which is another one of my favorites in the city so you know the drinks here are going to be good. The menu is very extensive, full of variety, and features Asian flavors as well as other notes from around the world which I enjoy. The service here was great and the interior is nicely decorated. The Blushing Dragon cocktail was the crowd favorite as it was sweet and mellow, but all the more spirit forward cocktails were equally good. Definitely worth popping in for a drink or two and trying their rotating drinks!

We had a wonderful time at Kona’s on a Friday night! Blushing Dragon: A harmonious blend of gin, sake, dragonfruit, lychee, passionfruit, coconut cream, and citrus. The balance was impeccable, and the presentation was impressive. Banana Pudding: Creamy and comforting, this drink featured rum, sherry, banana, cream, and a hint of nutmeg. Utterly delicious! Plum Highball: Crisp, refreshing, and perfect for warm days. The plum highball’s simplicity and elegance allowed the plum flavor to shine through.

Always a fun time but it was especially fun around Christmas time. If you are coming from Santa Con, you will need to change out of your Santa costume. Otherwise, expect great espresso martinis, crowded spaces and some great billiards.
