Horsefeather in San Francisco

I had forgotten how much I love this place until I came back and it was somehow even better than I remembered. We ordered the gochujang wings and they were seriously some of the best I’ve had. Perfectly crispy, sticky, spicy, and packed with flavor. The spinach miso mushroom linguine was another standout, rich, savory, with the perfect miso kick and crispy nori on top. So unique and absolutely delicious. I’ve been into celery based cocktails lately and their California Cooler was so refreshing. Bright, light, and perfectly balanced. The staff here is amazing. So friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. You can tell they genuinely care and love what they do, which makes the whole experience even better. The vibe is still undefeated. Whether it’s a date night, girls’ night, or a solo unwind moment, Horsefeather always delivers. Cozy interiors, great music, standout food and drinks. A total gem in SF. Can’t wait to come back again. This place never misses.

Araya started us off with attentive and friendly approach, and Thomas came on shift half way through to banter about latitude and the history of Molort. All the staff were a delight to be around. We started with an “it ain’t me babe” and while I was skeptical with the amount of ingredients they mixed like a dream for a truly unique experience and one of a kind drink. . We went with the mushroom risotto and the braised beef, both of which had their own charm but the beef stood out as a dish to come back for. Of course we dabbled with fried chicken, a crispy a delicious side accommodation I would have been foolish not to indulge in. We finished the evening with the yuzu custard , that left a profound savory longing for each next bite. And I couldn’t get out the door without another of those gin drinks. What a gem!

6/2/25 Update: Although we hadn't yet eaten at Horsefeather, my partner and I loved their cocktails and were long overdue to try their food. With my parents in town, we decided to give Horsefeather's food menu a try, and we were extremely impressed. As an appetizer, we all shared the Goat Cheese Artichoke Dip. For entrees, my mom got the Cobb Salad, my dad got the Spinach Miso Mushroom Linguine, my partner got the Jumbo Prawn tacos, and I got the Red Wine Braised Chuck Roast. I also tried the Desafinado spring/summer cocktail, while my partner tried the Sun Never Sets seasonal cocktail. The Desafinado cocktail was fantastic! It had a nice savoriness from the celery bitters and celery salt, as well as a nice umami finish with the cherry tomato and dehydrated tomato flavor. The Sun Never Sets was pretty good, although not as noteworthy. It was smooth and tasty, although tasted a little stronger of grapefruit and passion fruit than we were expecting, so the whiskey flavor was not very prominent. Shortly after we received our drinks, the Goat Cheese Artichoke Dip appetizer came out. We ordered this with extra bread, which really isn't needed as the plate came with a good serving of bread. The dip was fantastic, as it was still very hot from the oven and had a great spinach and artichoke flavor that paired beautifully with the goat cheese. Everyone loved their entrees! The Cobb Salad was nice and filling with my mom's addition of chicken, and the salad had a nice smoky and rich flavor from the bacon bits, which were distributed throughout nicely. My dad quietly consumed the linguine, and was super satisfied with the dish. My partner's jumbo prawn tacos were delicious as well, and the handmade tortilla held up well and provided great flavor in addition to the prawns and salsa. Finally, I really loved the Red Wine Braised Chuck Roast. The meat was fork tender and covered in the luscious braise sauce that paired very nicely with the mashed potatoes. Everyone said that it reminded them of a homemade dish, in the best way, as it was reminiscent of a pot roast or similar dish. All in all, we were very impressed and satisfied with the meal at Horsefeather. We already knew the cocktails and service at Horsefeather were amazing, and now know to come back for the tasty food options. Highly, highly recommend trying the food at Horsefeather if you're in the area, or if not! Original review: As a disclaimer, this review is only for Horsefeather's cocktails, as we have not yet tried their food. Although quite busy when we stopped by, we were able to grab seats at the bar since we were only ordering cocktails. I started with the Daywalker while my partner started with the Moonraker. Both drinks were absolutely fantastic! The Daywalker had a nice smoky, mango flavor, that came together beautifully with the tequila and other ingredients when I stirred in the foam. I was particularly impressed with how well composed the cocktail drank, given the different flavors from the various ingredients. As cafe de olla lovers, the Moonraker was our favorite coffee cocktail we've had so far, and the cinnamony essence of the cafe de olla elevated the flavor above an espresso martini. For our second drinks, I got the Golden Hour while my partner got the Breakfast Punch. Although still tasty, our second drinks did not quite live up to our expectations set by our first cocktails. The Golden Hour had a nice coconut and lime flavor, and was super quaffable and enjoyable, while the Breakfast Punch had a nice corn and cinnamony flavor, that definitely hit the Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavor they were going for. Overall, we still really loved the cocktails at Horsefeather, as our first round of cocktails were some of our favorites we've tried thus far in the city, and will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Visiting San Francisco and this was such a fun place to be! The drinks are delicious especially the summer drinks. My friend had the La Dolce Vita which was realllllllyyty reallllyyy good. I had the Sun Never Sets and baby! Strong but good. Overall, Sam was a delight and surprisingly being a general manager, he stopped and gave us recommendations for places to go try and eat based on what we were looking for. Overall, this was a great place to begin our tour of San Fran and made us feel welcome and excited to see the city!!

Really loved my brunch experience here! Food was absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed their katsu sando, smoked tuna tartine, and loco moco! Didn't expect a spot like this on Divis to have Asian fusion but the flavors were 10/10 Their outdoor patio is filled with greenery and great lighting for pictures. Can't wait to come back to check out their dinner menu!

This place is first and foremost a cocktail bar, and DAMN are these cocktails good. “Birds of a Feather” was sweeter than what the description would have you believe (but in a good way), and the “Daywalker” came highly recommended by the waitress, and for good reason! The pineapple foam was reminiscent of an adult-version of a Dole whip. The heavily Korean-inspired American fare was also delicious and arrived quickly. The duck-fat fries are very rich (as expected) and are honestly too big a portion for two people — they’d be better split among four or more. The gochujang chicken wings perfectly master that Korean-style fried chicken; somehow both incredibly saucy and yet still perfectly crispy (seriously, how do they do that??). I enjoy moderate spice and didn’t find them too spicy at all. While the lemon prawns with risotto were good, we found it less inspiring than the Wagyu beef roast from our previous visit — if you’re looking for a home run, opt for the roast. The vibe is sexy and moody, with a cool atrium in the front. They tend to leave the door open for air flow, so come prepared with an extra layer or two if you run cold.

Some of my favorite cocktails in the city! made a reservation same day for 5:30 pm on a Friday. The covered parklet was perfect for a hot day in SF. We loved the marinated olives and duck fat fries. Two members of our party were pescatarian so they put the duck fat on the side, love that they were able to accommodate them. The gochujang wings are my favorite. They are perfectly crispy and aren’t too saucy. This was my first time having the poke bowl and it was also a hit, lots of different veggies and the marinade on the tuna was delicious. It’s not really a place to spend a few hours at, they seemed to want us out so they could seat the next group as there was a line forming for walk ins. We hopped over to another spot nearby but don’t expect so have a slow meal here without the servers hovering a bit. Great service outside of that!

Horsefeather is an absolute gem. One of my favorite spots not just in Alamo Square, but all of San Francisco. The cocktail menu is extensive, and the cocktails are honestly one better than the next (I’ve successfully crossed off every last one). The food is outstanding and the staff is professional and friendly. I would not consider myself a lettuce enthusiast but the cobb salad is phenomenal. If delicious ruffage isn’t your thing that’s okay too… the burger is also top shelf.

I came here about a year ago for brunch and loved it so much I decided to come and try their dinner. We first started off with the zero-proof drinks. They have some really great cocktails but since we’re planning to drive back home, we opted for the zero-proof. I highly recommend their drinks, whether you want it with the alcohol or without! Apps were great but the star of the show for me was the two piece fried chicken. It comes with mac n cheese and esquites and it was divine! Overall, highly recommend this spot!

Looking for a new a new brunch spot? @horsefeather is a hidden gem you don’t want to miss out on! This casual neighborhood cocktail gathering place is perfect for a great time with friends and family. They have indoor and outdoor seating, amazing service, great cocktails, and of course delicious food 😋 The staring the show for us were the duck fat fries. So crispy and so much flavor! Everything was presented beautifully and taste just as good as it looks. Definitely will be coming back for more soon 😍 What We Ordered: Duck Fat Fries 🍟 Gochujang Crispy Wings 🍗 Smoked Tuna Tartine 🥑 Katsu Sando 🥪 Chilaquiles 🍳 HF Loco Moco🥚

If you’re looking for a cute place to get brunch in the city, this is the right spot! Food was amazing and so unique. We got the waffles & chicken with matcha buttercream and matcha syrup, duck fat fries, and roasted tomatoes avocado toast. We went around 2:00p so there were plenty of seatings but you can also make a reservation in advance.

Located in NOPA, near other great businesses. Few blocks to Alamo Square. Enjoyed outdoor brunch here. They are not an overcrowded space and not full of hype compared to other brunch places in the city. They also offer unique take on brunch and the food and drinks were all delightful especially the irish coffee, chicken sandwich and scramble. The duck fat fries was nothing to write home about. Heated outdoor space and way more peaceful than dining indoor. Looking forward to be back and try other dishes and drinks. Glad this kind of place exists.

I came in from out of town and met a friend here for dinner. I had the lemon butter prawns with risotto, which was flavorful and right up my pescatarian alley (ge ne speaks for itself). My friend had the double cheeseburger that he also enjoyed and the fries were goox. For my drink, I had the Daywalker which was well balanced and the chipotle did not make it. Waiters/Bartenders were welcoming and had great recommendations (Araya and Ricky Minaj 😜). Thank you!

One of my favorite brunch spots in SF! I've visited a few times for brunch on the weekend and have always had a great experience. The restaurant is beautiful, and the food and service are excellent! I really like their brunch menu. My favorite items to order are: Grilled Steak Burrito: caramelized onions & peppers, eggs, avocado, creme fraiche, salsa cruda, jack cheese Gochujang Crispy Wings: fermented chili, honey, sesame oil, ranch The burrito is HUGE and tastes great with the guacamole. It's so big that I'm pretty much full after eating it! I also love the flavor of their Gochujang crispy wings, which is a dish my friends and I often order to share at our table. Definitely a great spot for brunch with friends/family!

As a vegan I am skeptical to go somewhere with such a heavy meat-centric menu BUT they actually have amazing vegan options! I've had them all at this point, the mushroom risotto, the beet salad (without feta), the fries (without duck fat), the roasted cauliflower, and the plant-based mango lime "ceviche" made with Impact Tuna. Everything is so wonderfully colorful and delicious and it made this spot such a perfect place to go for happy hour with my partner who is not vegan. Def an after worker spot to transition between your coffee and drinks with a delicious expresso martini 🍸

Great sport for brunch and late lunch. Super recommend. Staff is super nice and attentive. I accidentally order a hot cocktail (which was stated on their menu) and they kindly offered me to get a different one. The food was really good and the duck fries were a really good choice!
