Charmaine's Rooftop Bar & Lounge

Great atmosphere, cozy fire pits 🔥, and attentive service! Enjoyed the 4th of July fireworks 🎆 from the outdoor patio. On a nice clear evening, without the smoke from the pyro displays and fog, this a great hangout spot to gaze at the city lights. However, I couldn't taste/feel the booze in the drinks I ordered. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Admittedly, I'm a lightweight. Otherwise 5 stars! *Food was not taken into account, as the kitchen stops orders 2 hours before closing.

A perfect mixture of everything you need to satisfy all your senses. The food give off an enticing aroma, and the drinks are strong and complex. All while you listen to amazing music and look at a breath taking view of the city. The staff makes you feel so welcomed. Can't wait to return to back Charmaine's!

I read a few bad reviews about this place, but I wanted to give it a try as my friend and I were having afternoon tea in the hotel at Villon. I made reservations for 4:15pm and was greeted with a friendly smile upon arrival. We were then escorted to the rooftop and greeted by yet another smile upon entry. Once we got to our table, our server Malakai came by to say hello and take our order. We were not quite ready, so he came back later. We really wanted The Big Cat drink but it was served over a big piece of ice; he told me he can see if the bartender can do it up, and they sure did. Malakai to the rescue! What a friendly and attentive server! He asked if we wanted to order any food but we said no, as we just had afternoon tea. I mentioned MAYBE fries a little later. When we were almost done with our first cocktail, the manager whose name I understand is ‘T’, stopped by to check in. This place is just overdosed with friendly employees with lovely smiles. I mean I didn’t mention Terry, who also came by multiple times to check up on us. You will not have an empty drink I tell you, bc they just make sure you order another before you’re done with the other. Btw, an hour later, Malakai asks, “Ready for those fries?” Overall, a lovely place to have drinks. The view is awesome, the cocktails were really good and service beyond expectations thanks to T, Malakai and Terry. FYI – I read something about a $65 min pp, but that only applies to guests of 3+, and it’s mentioned in the OpenTable reservation. For those that say it was not made clear by the server, that’s bc you need to READ carefully. Will definitely be back!

There are not that many nice rooftop bar/lounge in SF due to the windy and relatively unpredictable weather. This one has to be the best one we've been. You get a nice view of Market St, and the city hall at a distance as well as the …
