There's no sign, just a door on Jones Street in the Tenderloin with an Anti-Saloon League plaque, which is the joke.
This is a whiskey bar at heart and the classics are the reason to be here, a Sazerac, a Manhattan, an Old Fashioned, all built with real precision.

Ask about it when you book, or when you're turned away at the main door.
