About this event

Our Cocktail Club program is a free tasting of spirits we love, conducted by people who know their story. Every Thursday from 7p.m.-9p.m. The idea is that by understanding the spirits, how they are made and why they taste the way they do, you can understand how they work in a cocktail (or maybe why you wouldn't want to put it in a cocktail and just drink it neat). One small offering in our never-ending efforts to help our guests learn about the drinks they love (and maybe learn exactly what they don't like).

All you have to do is show up and buy a drink! (These tastings are included with any purchase from the bar.)

We maintain a great line up of educational tastings where you can learn about all of the great spirits that go into making ELIXIR cocktails so delicious. Every week it's something different (with a heavy focus on whiskies of all kinds).

Our guest speakers are not "promo models" or key chain-wielding marketing flunkies. They are either the master distiller themselves (the very people who make the product), the brand ambassador (who is an educated expert on the product and category who travels to do just this kind of thing) or another representative of the brand that is well-versed in the production and category.

Our goal is to educate our friends and neighbors. The more you know about spirits, the more you'll enjoy what Elixir has to offer!

THE OFF MENU COCKTAIL SPECIAL

A special "off menu" cocktail (or neat pour) featuring that spirit will be discounted and featured throughout the week until the next Cocktail Club meeting.

We're all about education and entertainment. We believe the our collective drinking culture is a key part of our overall culture, and as such, understanding it aids in enjoying it to the max. We call it "Cocktail Edutainment". Though we go to great lengths to educate our team in the details (on a professional level), we understand that our primarily role is as providers of hospitality, not just drinks. So the education we provide to our guests in the bar is the same as in these classes: it's all about fun! So pick a class, share it with friends, have a great time, and come back for more. We're always scheduling more free and paid events, so click the FOLLOW button on our profile here, follow our social media (@elixirsf on Instagram and /elixirsaloon on Facebook) and sign up for our email newsletter at http:/www.elixirsf.com/whiskey-geeks . And if you'd like to book a private event, please email nick@elixirtogo.com.

ELIXIR is first and foremost a neighborhood bar that has served its neighbors for 165 years. That history also makes the bar a San Francisco historic site and true piece of Old West culture. Under the proprietorship of noted barman H. Joseph Ehrmann and his team of award-winning hospitality professionals, the bar has won a place on numerous "Best Bars" lists for everything from its insane whiskey collection and pioneering cocktails to leadership in green business and its popularity as a business networking hang-out.
