Bar Iris, located in San Francisco's affluent Russian Hill neighborhood, is a cozy cocktail lounge known for its Japanese-inspired artisanal cocktails crafted with premium imported and local ingredients. Not merely an extension of the adjacent restaurant Nisei, Bar Iris stands on its own as a dedicated venue and has recently enhanced its connection to the community by adding a new parklet amidst the challenges of the pandemic.

Under the leadership of Bar Manager Ilya Romanov, the beverage program at Bar Iris showcases a unique blend of Japanese flavors and cocktail techniques, setting it apart from traditional Japanese cocktail bars. Visitors can expect a sophisticated yet approachable experience, where each drink tells a story of innovation and creativity, reflecting the bar's commitment to quality and originality.
