San Francisco’s critically acclaimed Mission District cocktail bar Trick Dog is no stranger to a 'best of' list. They've been finalists for three James Beard Foundation Awards for Outstanding Bar Program, named to the World’s 50 Best Bars list 2014 through 2019, and earned several nods from the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards, with two wins for World’s Best Cocktail Menu and one for Best American Bar Team. Trick Dog is also the only establishment of its kind in the Bay Area to receive a three-star review from San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic Michael Bauer. What a good dog!

For the city's bon vivants, Trick Dog has long been essential drinking. After all, a visit is warranted each time the beloved bar puts out a new zany, inventive menu — which has happened 20 times since opening in 2013. 

But most importantly, the best thing about Trick Dog is that even with all these accolades, it remains a warm and friendly neighborhood bar that just happens to have absolutely incredible drinks.
