Bernal Heights & La Lengua

Perched atop a steep hill at the southern edge of the city, Bernal Heights is a last frontier for artists and progressives. Nestled between earthquake cottages and bungalows you’ll find picturesque parks, quaint shops, and most importantly, a sense of community long forgotten in San Francisco. Along with its little sister La Lengua to the west, our neighborhood is unapologetically unique.

Holy Water opened its doors two years ago in what was before a delicious beverage vacuum. While there were definitely some solid places to get a cocktail in La Lengua, if you wanted something tasty up the hill, you were out of luck. With well selected rotating beers on tap and a cocktail list of about 15 lovely drinks, this is both a destination spot for SF as a whole, and a local favorite. Every nook and cranny of Holy Water has been carefully considered and designed. Antique decanter chandeliers hang down from angry cloud ceiling wallpaper, and a giant photo on the wall of a river baptism makes you feel slightly guilty (although you can’t pinpoint exactly why). Wait is that just me? mmmm, never mind. The point is, Holy Water is a great spot to begin or end your night.
