SF Cocktail Week

Description

San Francisco Cocktail Week, presented by the Barbary Coast Conservancy of the American Cocktail, celebrates the dynamic beverage culture of our community. Here, our many bright bartenders access local farmers, local distilleries and local wineries; here, we devour cocktail lore, we pair with chefs, and we teach each other in order to create delicious cocktails. We strive to remember the past in order to balance the new. In San Francisco, we dare to celebrate both the classic cocktail concoction and the avant-garde potation.
