The Bar at Hotel Kabuki Opens in San Francisco

San Francisco has a brand new cocktail bar in the lobby of the highly anticipated Hotel Kabuki. At the helm of the beverage program is Stephanie Anne Wheeler who comes armed with experience from Hojoko cocktail bar at The Verb Hotel in Boston and one of our favorite tiki bar’s around, Three Dots and a Dash in Chicago.  The cocktail list will be heavily guided by Japanese influence to pay homage to their location at the intersection of Japantown and Pacific Heights.

Expect menus to have a heavy focus on Japanese Whisky and Sake offerings as well as Beer.  To further celebrate the region, Japanese-style barware and a dedicated ice program will be implemented.  The early evening hours will commence with Aperitif Hour, highlighting bitters, teas and liqueurs, providing a dynamic alternative to your typical happy hour, inspired by a traditional tea ceremony. We can’t wait to check this one out for ourselves.

Original cocktails by Stephanie Ann Wheeler will include:

  • Hello Amanojaku: Suntory Toki, Giffard vanilla, house-specialty Chai tea blend, cashew milk and macadamia almond orgeat served warm as a drink for two. A true stand-out, the Hello Amanojaku will be served in the spirit of a traditional tea service, on a tray in a vintage tea pot with two sake-style cups and a small side dish of melonpan dusted with cinnamon and almond flakes.
  • Yomogi Tonic: Made with fresh pear and lime juices, house-made white miso honey syrup and Mixwell dandelion tonic served over ice in a tall etched glass and garnished with candy made in-house from the pulp of the juiced pears, a no-waste approach ensuring all parts of the fruit are utilized.
  • Golden Tea Milk Punch: Nikka Coffey Gin, Giffard Vanilla, Japanese Sencha Green tea, honey, turmeric and coconut milk. This is also served in the same style tea pot, with coconut flakes and a house sweet spice blend for garnish.
