REVIEW & BAR SUMMARY
Smugglers Cove, located in the heart of San Francisco Bay, is a true gem for cocktail lovers. This unique bar takes you on a journey back in time to the thrilling era of pirates, privateers, and the exotic islands of the Caribbean. Regarded as one of America’s top spots for rum and exotic cocktails, it offers an astonishing spectrum of concoctions from simple classics to complex mixes.
One of the highlights is their world-renowned ‘Smugglers Rum Barrel’, a delicious blend of different rums, spices, lime and grapefruit. Another must-try is the ‘Daiquiri’, a tribute to the classic cocktail, mixed to perfection with rum, sugar, and fresh lime. For those who fancy the unique and mysterious, 'Santiago's Bodega' presents a delightful mix of Amontillado Sherry, pineapple, lemon, and bitters.
Each cocktail at Smugglers Cove isn't just a drink, it's an experience, a delicate blend of history, tradition and flavour that transports you to a world of nautical exploration and tropical adventure.
