The Cosmopolitan

Tonight, to watch the Laker game (yes I am a Bay Area girl who is a Laker fan, and damn proud of it!), I went over to The Cosmopolitan on Spear Street. Given my close proximity to this nice little spot, I was surprised this was my first visit there. Pleasantly surprised.

The Drinks: They have 7 different Cosmo’s to choose from: The Cosmo, Classic Cosmo, Sparkling Cosmo, Ruby Cosmo, Raspberry Cosmo, Pomegrante Cosmo, and Sake Ginger Cosmo. My favorite being the Sake Ginger Cosmo! In addition to their delicious Cosmo’s, they have Manhattan’s, Mojitos, Martini’s and more. The bartenders carefully executed their skills and pouring probably one of the finest drinks in San Francisco.

The Food: Not a fan. I ordered the 7″ pizza. My friend ordered the Niman Ranch Burger. And we shared an order of the Parmesan Crusted Fries. All three were mediocre. Since we were seated at the bar, we had hopes that the food was come out quickly. We were wrong. Food came out one by one. And the fries didn’t come out until the very end, after we were done with our entrees. They didn’t bring mustard. They didn’t bring ranch. And the Ketchup was kind of grainy. I definitely would not go back for the food.

TVs: Not an ideal place to watch a sports game. They have three or four small TVs (isnt this the day and age of flat screen TVs? aren’t they super cheap to get these days?) in the corners of the room, and no one else there really seemed to interested in any of the sport games that were playing. This definitely is not a place to get together with your friends to watch a game. You can keep going to Pete’s Tavern for that.

So overall, I highly recommend The Cosmopolitan for its amazing drinks, and overall nice vibe. The crowd was your after-work Fi-Di crowd, somewhat professional. Just make sure you eat beforehand.

    Great review. I’ve been there once and my experience was more or less than same. They really need to replace those old big hunkin tube TV and replace them with Flat Screen LCDs or Plasmas. They are only $600 at Costco. Put the money in Cosmopolitan owners.
