The Southern food menu, including tasty fried chicken and biscuits, pairs well with the cocktails. However, some reviewers noted inconsistent service and uncomfortable seating arrangements, with limited table options. Overall, it is seen as a great spot for enjoying bourbon and socializing, but may not be ideal for a relaxing dining experience. With a focus on whiskey and a lively atmosphere, Hard Water is recommended for those looking for a fun sampling of drinks and bar food in San Francisco.
The server incorrectly said the whiskey prices were for 2 oz pours but instead they were for 1 oz pours. She even argued with me after the fact about it. We miscommunicated a food order and she argued about that as well. Food and whiskey selection were fantastic. Service, not so much.
While the aesthetics may not be outstanding, this restaurant is a must-visit if you want to savor pours of incredibly rare and high-quality whiskeys.
The restaurant is beautifully designed and the chef clearly has a good understanding of food. We were excited to try many dishes as everything on the menu sounded delicious. However, our server's lack of hospitality made us hesitant. We ultimately ended up only ordering a few items. It's concerning when you have to initiate greeting your server. The overall experience was impacted by this weak link.
Amazing place to eat! The food is amazing especially the hot chicken, great compliment with the whiskey/bourbons that they have
I love the fried chicken and biscuits at this restaurant. It's my go-to spot for bourbon, and the delicious food is an added bonus.
