    Rye is consistently mentioned in the relatively short list of great bars that are pushing the art of the cocktail in the bay area right now. They use freshly picked ingredients and some of the more unusual liquors and locally made spirits to create some pretty original drinks.

  8. Bourbon & Branch

    Can't say too much about this place, it is a speakeasy in san francisco that you need the password to get into. However you can make reservations through their website at http://www.bourbonandbranch.com

  9. Forbidden Island

    While often times tiki bars are not known for their quality of drinks, Forbidden island is the exception. The drinks here are some of the finest in the bay area, and that is saying a lot because the bay area is in the middle of a renaissance right now for true mixology.

  10. The American Bar at the Savoy Hotel

    In the 1920s when Prohibition in America took hold many American expats took solace at the opulent bar at the Savoy Hotel in London. This also happened to be around the time that one of the patron saints of cocktail time, Harry Craddock was running the bar there.
