"I recently booked this bar for my 40th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From start to finish, the entire team was truly exceptional. The food, cocktails, and wine were all outstanding, and the space itself was beautiful and so thoughtfully set up. The event coordinator was amazing throughout the planning process — organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful. On the night of the event, the onsite team checked in regularly and made sure everything ran seamlessly. Even small touches, like bringing backup candles when ours wouldn’t stay lit, showed how attentive and prepared they were. I felt so taken care of every step of the way. If you’re planning an event, big or small, I can’t recommend this place enough. They made my milestone birthday truly unforgettable."

"A great neighborhood staple! Excellent cocktails and solid bar bites. I could see it being a great date spot or just a good place to catch up where it’s hip but still quiet enough to have an actual conversation."

"The cocktails at Bar Piccino are easily among the best in San Francisco. Seemingly simple ingredients that amount to some really unique recipes. But the place is more than just phenomenal drinks. The staff is also top shelf. We naively showed up in the wake of a big Warriors game and there wasn’t a seat to be had, so we settled for a spot outside. Even with a packed house, the manager took notice that it was a little too chilly out and things were taking a little longer than usual, so he took it upon himself to get us inside and seated at the bar as soon as he could. He even ordered us a plate of their marinated olives on the house to make up for the wait. That sort of personal care goes a long way in my book. And if you’re thinking olives aren’t a big deal try them I swear they must be covered in dopamine, they’re phenomenal. So even if it’s a little out of your way, this place is worth the trip. The drinks and the ambiance will not disappoint."

"Really loved this bar! Went on a random weekend to celebrate my friend's promotion and the drinks were great but the bartender was even better! She was very sweet (I think her name was Em?) and even chatted with us for a bit. I loved the vibes all around"

"Bar Piccino, the bar extension of the Dogpatch restaurant Piccino, offers a tempting spot for after-work drinks and shareable plates. While it boasts a cool vibe and some delicious bites, a few stumbles kept it from being a slam dunk. Bar Piccino strikes a nice balance between upscale and casual. The indoor space itself is rather minimalistic and intimate with dim lighting and limited seating (which makes it a cool spot for a date night). Aim for an off-peak time or be prepared to wait for a spot, especially on the weekends. They do have some outdoor seating space but definitely bring a layer because you know it - it gets chilly in the night. When we visited Bar Piccino, we were the only group inside, and there were maybe 2 groups that were seated outside. On a Friday night, it was surprisingly very quiet. My friends and I ordered drinks at the counter and grabbed what appeared to be the only round table in the bar. My first observation when I looked at their menu was that their non-alcoholic drinks cost almost the same as their cocktails and other alcoholic drinks, which to me was a bit surprising and disappointing. The other thing that stood out was that their non-alcoholic drinks, at least some of them, were basically the alcohol free version of their cocktails. Anyways, we tried their Oxacan Holiday and Lust in the Dust cocktails. They were both pretty decent. I liked the Oxacan holiday more than the Lust in the Dust. Oxacan holiday had smoky notes from the mezcal and a hint of honey, citrus, and spices. Lust in the Dust had peppery agave flavor from the tequilla and sweet and tart flavors from the passion fruit and the pear. Bar Piccino has its charms. If you're looking for a trendy spot with a casual vibe and solid drinks, Bar Piccino is worth a try."
