It was great to be back to District in San Francisco to try out its latest menu and cocktails for Happy Hour! District’s décor still remains a great place for conversation with lounge and table seating within brick and timber architecture highlighted by the trademark center horseshoe bar made from reclaimed South American Peroba Rosa and its wine and whiskey tower. District has announced the debut of full bar service with a focus on whiskey to marry with its wine program. District Wine & Spirits Director Caterina Mirabelli says "There is a natural marriage with wine and whiskey. They both change with age and have very complex flavor profiles.
