Named after the legendary Henry Comstock and the renowned Comstock Lode, which brought mining fortunes to the City by the Bay, Comstock Saloon occupies a historic space that has been a beloved watering hole since 1907.

The throwback interior boasts antique fans and a 150-year-old absinthe fountain, accompanied by the original mahogany bar dating back to its inception. Immerse yourself in the era of turn-of-the-century saloons and savor classic cocktails expertly mixed by the tie-and-vest wearing bartenders. Don’t miss their standout punch, blending pisco, lemon juice, and pineapple gomme into a delightful concoction.

Comstock Saloon offers a welcoming ambiance that transports you without feeling forced or contrived. Wooden booths, live jazz, and well-dressed bartenders set the stage for a delightful experience. Whether you prefer to relax at one of the two bars, a high top table, or a cozy booth, the choices are abundant. The menu features a fantastic selection of classic cocktails, reasonably priced for San Francisco standards, and the knowledgeable bartenders are eager to craft a drink tailored to your taste.

Having stood the test of time, Comstock Saloon was founded in 1907 and meticulously restored to its original glory in 2010. Situated at the crossroads of North Beach, Chinatown, Financial District, and Jackson Square, this historic gem offers more than just classic cocktails and fine spirits. Delectable food awaits, and Fridays boast the infamous FREE LUNCH. Live jazz serenades guests nightly, enhancing the lively atmosphere.
