Curated by San Francisco-based writer Omar Mamoon, the trail “shines a light on just a fraction of the many bars and restaurants in San Francisco making excellent martinis. The Martini Trail is just a starting point—use it as a fun way to explore the city and make your own trail, too. There’s so much to uncover and explore in SF.”
Highlighted establishments include Absinthe, Bar Iris, BIX, Brazen Head, Club Waziema, Hi Dive Bar, Holbrook House, Lillie Coit’s, Martuni’s, Osso, Starlite, Tadich and Wildhawk.

Bar Iris, for instance, has a unique take on a martini using sweet potato gin, a mix of shochu and sake, and a seasonally changing pickle as garnish. You’ll know you’ve entered martini heaven at BIX thanks to its giant, ice-filled metal bucket topped off with martini glasses in the middle of its long bar. Lillie Coit’s utilizes locally made gin, while Osso makes its own brine with muddled olives, salt, black peppercorn and lemon peels.
