Rooftop 25

The staff was nice and the place was cool too but the food was another story. We ordered the ceviche first and it was delicious, probably the best I've had. Then we had a burger and a sandwich. I got the fish burger and it was so bland I almost didn't finish it but I had not eaten all day and i was so tired. She got the chicken sandwich and she didn't like it that much either. I tried it and the mustard was so overpowering you couldn't taste anything else. Then there were the fries that came with both meals; they were very salty and overcooked. We are not picky eaters but it was such a disappointing experience we went to Safeway to get M&M's to get rid of the after taste.

A group of colleagues and I met up here for some drinks and snacks. Amongst the rooftop bars in SF, I thoroughly enjoyed Rooftop 25 located just upstairs of 25 Lusk. I am not sure if it was because it was a weekday, but the place was not busy leaving a spacious and cozy environment. I am just glad we had a table to sit at which we probably would not have found at any of the other rooftop bars around. Even though there isn't much of a view that you'd expect from a rooftop bar, the coverage kept the space cozy on those windy nights (they even offer blankets if you're still cold!).

Another plus was that you order up front at the cash register while they bring your food and drinks out to you. This makes it so much easier to split when you're in a group. I started off with the Rooftop Smash ($12), which was nice and fruity. Then I switched up for a classic, smokey Old Fashioned. As for food, our table had an array of bites: Pizza One ($15), Pizza Two ($18), Cheese Board ($10), Chicharrones ($3), Olives and Nuts ($5), Potato Chips ($3), and the Sustainable Catch Ceviche ($14). The pizzas were pretty standard, but definitely enjoyed the Pizza Two better due to the prosciutto. My favorites of the snacks were actually the two cheapest ones: chicharrones and potato chips --both simple, tasty, and perfect to munch on. The chicharrones even had a kick of spice to it, which I really enjoyed.

Overall, great spot to grab some drinks and snacks. I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot here. The staff was quick to take orders, bring things out, and made sure to let us know when their kitchen was closing for last orders.

The drinks and food are good.
The view is not that great since it's a 3rd floor and some high buildings around it.
You order at the cashier and sit with your number.

Good food, good time... Little pricey, but perfect for a brunch date...
