We ’ve told you before about Marianne ’s , the super - secret , super - swank ginmill in a SoMa alleyway , the stripe you could only go to if you had the members - only pin tumbler number . Which means when we distinguish you about it , you were probably like , “ Aw damn , that property looks super coolheaded , but ugh , I ’m so over this whole private Browning automatic rifle matter that ’s taking over San Francisco . ”
Well salutary news , supporter . The possessor ofMarianne’s(the same people behind Marlowe , Park Tavern , The Cavalier , and Leo ’s Oyster Bar ) experience the exact same style . Which is why the waiting area is now whole open to the public .
The salon is still named for proprietor Anna Weinberg ’s favorite style ikon ( and former Mick Jagger paramour ) Marianne Faithfull , but it got a mini makeover and is now less posh English parlor way and more 1970s stone ‘ n ’ bankroll . ( Which is a just affair , just commit us . ) There are dark purple wall , zebra banquettes , leather and pony - tomentum sofas , and whimsical art and accessories throughout . Add to that incredibly sexy low lighting and private nooks , and Marianne ’s now feels like the form of place you go to make very spoiled decisions that you ’re still talking about years later .

Those bad decisions will likely be aided by cocktails from the trade name - young bar computer programme that ’s meant to invoke the frivolity and glamor of Studio 54 . Specifically the uber grown - up variation of a Long Island Iced Tea , made with tea - steep Flor de Caña rum , vodka , knock rummy , Combier , lemon , ginger , and cola . If no Long Island Iced Tea is develop - up enough , there are plenty of other options that do n’t mix four different types of liquor – try the Dark Side of Hemingway ( Brugal dour rum , Citrus paradisi , lime amiable , and maraschino ) , or the Honey Bang Me Sloe ( Barr Hill honey vodka , Sipsmith sloe gin , Galliano , elderflower , orange succus , and Citrus limon ) . hang out with group ? Most of the cocktails can be upgrade to “ commune cocktail , ” which swear out six .
With all of that drink , you ’re going to need some intellectual nourishment , so arrive on the former side because small plates are only available until 9:30pm . solid food options admit dishes such as oysters ( baked or on the half plate ) , gammon and high mallow finger sandwich , lamb schnitzel ice lolly , potted Dungeness crab , and pickled devilfish , all of which taste just as delectable and satisfying as you ’d expect since they come from Big Night executive chef and partner Jennifer Puccio . ( You know , the woman behind the famous Marlowe Burger . )
Marianne ’s will be unresolved Tuesday through Wednesday from 5:30pm - midnight , and Thursday through Saturday from 5:30pm-1:30am . Reservations can be made for parties of two to eight guests and pass - atomic number 49 are encouraged . If it ’s your first metre , check up on in with the stewardess next door at The Cavalier and she ’ll show you where to go . If the taproom is full , you could have a potable at the bar at The Cavalier while you waitress . And trust us : it ’s worth the postponement .
