About this business
The Alembic's Southern theme and intimate setting are an intriguing variation from the local pubs and hippie hangouts usually found in the Upper Haight. From the owners of the Magnolia Brewery, the Alembic brings a menu of small plates that can best be described as upscale Soul Food and a diverse drink list full of interesting variations on traditional cocktails, as well as beers from around the world. Especially interesting is their local draft beer selection. Low lit and intimate, the Alembic has the feel of a modern speak... read more

Bad attitude ruins the fantastic food/drink Imagine the surliest, velvet rope guarding, vapid meathead bouncer from some Miami or LA nightclub. Shrink him down to a 5'3'' chick with a bullring nosejob and you got yourself an Alembic hostess. Hey - I understand they need to keep an aisle open to serve those badly situated front tables. I get it that they want to preserve a certain feel to the place. Come on though - learn some class in how you go about it. The hostess at Alembic wrecked a friend's homecoming party with her ri... read more
Great drinks and bites; Friendly and sophisticated – Although this is basically an adult venue, my husband and I recently took our daughter and 5 nicely dressed girlfriends there for a 17th birthday treat. We were seated in the L-shaped booth. Our waitress was very informative about the various plates. We all partook of the lamb sliders (excellent), the little quesedillas, salmon toasts, and the wonderful skinny fries. It seems they pride themselves on using as much locally grown and organic ingredients as possible. Even my ... read more
Overpriced! – The drinks are outrageously high for what you get. The music is drab and sleepy. Step it up Alembic!
This gastropub, a sister restaurant to Magnolia, serves small plates, classic cocktails and artisan brews--and takes all three seriously. – The Scene This one-room escape feels cozy yet spacious thanks to high ceilings, soft lighting and barren mustard walls. Views of the Upper-Haight hubbub are visible from two tall tables in front, while a dizzying list of liquors, beers, and specialty cocktails is squeezed onto a chalkboard above the stained-wood bar. The Food Small plates prepared with local ingredients distinguish Alemb... read more
Great new spot in San Francisco – Loved the atmosphere, perfect balance between swank and neighborhood. Also, a place you can actually talk in, never too loud. The small plates are very good, definitely rich though. Many dishes have bacon or other meat. The version of Cheesesteak is very good. Great drinks, particularly if you like classic cocktails or bourbon. Will definitely go again and again.
GREAT ADDITION TO THE SF DINING SCENE – Tucked away on Upper Haight, next to the Red Vic movie house this new spot has all the essentials for a good night out. Tasty, well-executed plates served late, I had the mussels, grilled squid, duck risotto cake, just to name a few. From bites, to small plates...There are sooo many drink options, quite heavenly for the savvy cocktail/beer connoisseur. The decor is the coolest part, everything has a story..so dont be afraid to ask.
