Elites *In*Vested In SF @ Trocadero Club

Since this happened awhile back and I pregame before the event, this will be a bit short. Got to wear a vest, check. The drinks were strong, check.
At this event I did not recognize anyone, or at least knew them well, except for CMs Jon and Jessica. But, the point of these events is to meet and hang out with unfamiliar Unilocalers, which I did. Always worth attending.

Thank you Unilocal and Trocadero Club for hosting a great event!
My +1 and I sat back and observed the people and the bar. The space is small and intimate. I can imagine that if it’s crowded, you’d end up meeting some cool people.
I’m more of a wino, so I got a dry rose. Everyone seemed to like the drink menu, and the bartenders were really cool.
The ladies who were serving the food were friendly. I know that everyone pounces on the food at these events, and the ladies knew who missed out on the grub.
The Trocadero is a gem in the middle of the Tenderloin. It’s worth checking out.

Another great SF Unilocal event :) This venue was terrific! The drinks were strong, and there were free Unilocal fanny packs. Who could ask for more?

My friend and I were there for a Unilocal Elite event. Jake was our bartender and always made sure that we had a drink in front of us. This is a cute place with ample seating and it’s not overcrowded which I’m always a fan of. I dislike being elbow to elbow with others so it was nice having my own seat with my friend right next to me. I will definitely be back soon!

I can imagine how crowded this place can potentially get once it’s been word of mouthed to everyone, and I do hope that for Trocadero! I mean they have TWO bathrooms for gods’ sakes — that’s pretty amazing for the size of this corner bar! The drinks were great, the passed finger bites were luxuriously delicious, and the bartenders were overworked yet managed to stay in good humor! That is pretty fantastic, in my opinion! Thanks again!

Dang people beat me to writing a review before I even got here.
Very cozy venue with plenty of drink options! I got a chance to try some of the appetizers that came out… all so unique and delicious.
I was one of many people who participated, wearing a vest, a nice vest I haven’t worn in months that would otherwise sit in my closet collecting dust.
Shout out to running into old friends, meeting new people, and the friendly bartenders!

What a nice intimate cocktail party mid-​week in the Loin.
Thanks to the wonderful folks at Trocadero Club for hosting us especially the hardworking bartenders who barely got a chance to breathe all night. I hope you are rewarded for all that shaking action with some nice guns! Seriously though, thanks again. I thoroughly enjoyed the thoughtfulness in your work.
It was also great to catch up with folks here. Good conversation and libations all around not to mention a steady flow of canapés to keep slurry conversations in check. It was awesome to have had some Jon trifecta action: Jon A, My +1 John, and myself. We had a good conversation around smoking bars in SF among other things. Thanks Jon, Jessica, and everyone at Unilocal who in*vested time and effort to make this night happen.

Hard textures behind the bar combine with smooth drinks and service. Drinks were fresh mixed and ready for sipping the minute we were greeted. appetizers passed, no waiting, sheer bliss! Staff was simply lovely and hard working. We sipped the aviation while enjouing tuna tartare canapes, smoked ham on endive and smoked chicken on toast. Loved them all, fresh and very high quality ingredients. This establishment does not skimp, generosity, like a virtue from the past, reigns.
I enjoyed the pampering, step in out of the hustle and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the same.

This place totally surprised me! So adorable inside, reminds me of a Hollywood hills sun room from he 70s! Yay!

This was our first Elite event in the Bay Area and we were super excited to attend. I have to say the Unilocalers in the Bay Area know how to throw an elite event!
As soon as we walked in, everything was looking so good. The food, the drinks, the décor… not a single thing left us wanting. The bites on the menu were scrumptious. I loved the delectable Prosciutto with pear chutney and my plus one would not stop talking about the Tuna Tartare. But as great as the food was, the drinks were outstanding. The Trocadero Club’s take on an Old Fashioned was perfect, but my personal favorite of the night was the Aviation. That drink was the perfect blend of Gin, lemon and mysterious purple fluid.
Thank you Jon for a great party! I’m always looking for a good excuse to throw on a vest and this was definitely it. I had a blast, loved meeting all the Bay Area Unilocalers, and can’t wait to see what the future has in store. Keep on Unilocalin’ on.

Fantastic Drinks On The House!
SITREP
Tonight we took a trek to the Trocadero Club in SF to enjoy delicious libations!
THE SETUP
But that was only part of our gamesmanship tonight, since San Francisco Community Manager (CM) Jon A. laid down a challenge for us! As he shared, «You know how these cocktail mixologists are always wearing vests?» Well tonight, we got to turn the tables on them and we put on our finest vest wear as well!
An on top of that, the refreshing cocktails that were prepared along with the delicious taste bites did not disappoint!
THE MENU OF *POW!*
We thoroughly enjoyed tastiness in the following realms of yum:
THE DRINKS
* «The Aviation», made with Uncle Val’s Botanical Gin. WOWSER!
* The «Boulevardier», made with Masterson’s Rye! *BAM!*
[And, yes, there was a 3^rd, but I dared not.] :)
THE BITES
I sampled some absolute tonguegasms that included:
= The smoked duck with orange marmalade; and,
= The tuna tartare (my favorite!)
BARTENDERS EXTRAORDINAIRE
I have to give an appreciative shout out to the two dynamic gentlemen who were responsible for making the night happen: The awesome Trocadero bartender team of Jake & Ethan!
Somehow the two of them kept the patrons humming their kudos of this team whose hands were mere flashes of light as they fastidiously, yet quickly kept our glasses full. If anybody deserved to be tipped so gloriously, it was these two gents, and I was very happy to see the fivers dropped down for these gents, because they deserved it.
KUDOS
But I would be remiss if I did not thank the OTHER dynamic duo of Unilocalvinities Jon A. and Jessica T. for organizing this stellar event and providing such a great environment of fun & joy (in delicious drinks) especially as many of us were decompressing from a hard week!
So «Thank you, Jon & Jessica!»
THE LOWDOWN
The Trocadero Club delivers a fantastic vibe!
