I am writing to counter-act the 1-star review they just received. I was at the same NYE party and to review a place solely based on a PRIVATE party on NYE is totally unfair and ridiculous.
What did you expect for your $20 Whitney? You got a great decorated space, friendly staff, a dj, plenty of food, party hats/streamers/noise-makers, etc., a glass of champagne for midnight's toast and a fun, fabulous & friendly crowd? You should be sending your hostesses a thank-you note, not bashing Catalyst on Yelp.
WHAT? Closed? How sad.
Dance floor, kooky owner, big round booths, awesome cocktails. So so sad.
What a lucky find. Thanks Yelp Stickers on the door... a large group of my friends and I saw those in a moment of indecision and then decided to walk on in. Glad we did. This is a blast-from-the-past kinda bar... I loved it. It wasn't very busy the Wed night we went but the bartender made a good drink stiff drink and they had a unique menu to select from - including fresh fruit and herb drinks that raise the bar.
After a couple of cocktails, we headed on out to Bondage-a-go-go...a lil warmer for the walk. ;-)
See ya there!
My friends and I stumbled upon this bar after dinner at Yellow Pa Taut, the Burmese restaurant around the corner, and before Bondage A-Go-Go (don't ask). Why did we choose this bar? It wasn't for the "People on Yelp Love Us" stickers, although I was glad to see them when we walked in, but it was actually because I parked right across from it and wanted to go someplace close. Luckily, it was a great decision!
This review is just for the drinks because until I looked at their website I didn't even know they served food. I've had the Catalyst Cocktail, their signature cocktail, made up of Vodka mixed with Raspberries, Blueberries, Blue Curacao and Razzmataz. This was yummy, but not too strong. The Black Dahlia is made of Vodka, Fresh Blackberry and Orange Juice, Lavender Syrup, and Soda Water served on the rocks, and is a little stronger, but nice and tasty. Drink number 3 was the Sangre Amado, made with Vodka or Gin, with Fresh Strawberries and Grapefruit, a dash of bitters, Rosehips-Hibiscus Syrup, delicious and sort of tart. My favorite drink was the Catalyst Mojito, one of the best versions I've ever had of this drink.
Want to know what makes the drinks here so special? All of the juices and fruits are fresh, you can watch them pull the fruit out of the fridge to crush it into your drink. And, the syrups and mixers are house-made. I don't think I've ever seen a bar go that far to make all of their drinks that well. But, this is also part of the reason that I give Catalyst 4 stars, instead of 5. Both times I've gone, they've run out of some of the fresh ingredients so I can't necessarily have the drink I want to try.
Went here for the first time --- an old friend was DJing last night. Now I'm a TOTAL fan of this SOMA gem!!!
Absolutely ADORE Matt! Ne'er mind that he shares the name as THE ex-boyfriend, but man oh man. MATT is the BEST cocktail concoctionist EVER! He will not lead you wrong --- the Sangre Amado and the Black Dahlia are both O-mazing!!!
The art deco decor --- and the great DJs make me think of the LES in NYC. Something funky, but the crowd is not too quirky. All in all --- totally great vibe and drinks priced right.
I don't think I'd classify this place as a dive bar. It's not super swanky, but there's just something really cool about the space and those who choose to frequent it. The bar isn't swamped with people, but you know the measure of a bar by how many folks are still stopping by to snag that last call cocktail.
You can woo me with lavender simple syrup all night, Catalyst Cocktails.
I invented a drink and they named it after me. At least for the evening, I'll have to go back and have one to see if it stuck.
We had the joint to ourselves, which shocked me incredibly and rocked my world, because my companion was compelling and I didn't want any distractions.
I love Catalyst and will be back, for sure.
Every time I've been here, it has been completely dead. Granted, my average visiting hours range between 4pm and 7pm - not quite during the busiest house, I'm sure.
As you would expect, the bar tender is very responsive and the only other people in the joint were regulars. Quiet atmosphere to have a drink and read a book - but only while it's still light out.
I find the glowing reviews for this place baffling.
This place is down a funky alley around the corner from the Po Po...it's a bit sketch. Of course I'm not going to judge it based on that, just lettin' ya know.
The interior of Catalyst is gorgeous and the food is pretty tasty but the drinks were weak and being that it's a bar, I think thats pretty important. My drinks were just not worth $8 and if you are going to charge me that, at least fill the glass or make it with top shelf liquor. This aint the Marina. I've never had a cocktail served in a martini glass that was only half full? Either buy smaller martini glasses cheapass or charge less. Plus the bartenders sucked.
I know SB and I are spoiled by our usual haunts. Well life is too short to drink crappy , overpriced drinks.
Good call on the mojitos; unfortunately, right after I had ordered mine they ran out, so booh on supplies. This was pretty early, too, around 6 in the afternoon for happy hour with some co-workers. Prices are reasonable for SF, about $7 to $8 for a mixed drink.
It's a surprisingly nice looking bar, with red decor and details on the ceiling... but, otherwise, it's your typical dive-y bar. It's got a good amount of space, and would recommend for company gatherings or large birthday parties.
Staff is interesting, and sometimes a bit flustered, but otherwise decent; drinks were good, strong but not disgustingly so. I wouldn't mind coming back again, it was good times.
I'm sad that this place is closing. I just got to go there for Last Call!
Let me sum it up for you.
We are born into a world of heartache and pain.
We live.
We die.
And no one knows what happens after that.
In the between-time we have our little moments of happiness, and the wise ones eventually figure out that these are what really matter.
So it all boils down to this:
-make new friends
-laugh and smile genuinely
-listen to Bjork
-drink copious vodka cocktails
-and dance in your underwear
What the f$%&* does this have to do with Catalyst Cocktails? Well, I accomplished all of the above in a single setting. Existential crisis solved.
But there most certaintly will be a hangover in the morning.
Sometimes I like to search my name in other reviews to see what I missed during the night:
"Keane held me while he sang "Wind Beneath my Wings" to me, but the weirder part is that i asked him to do it...?"
... sounds about right.
It was like the DYLs of my Yelp childhood. You know... when the world was still full of wonder and discovery? I met new people, tried new (albeit fruity) drinks, and hung out with some of the most spectacular individuals to ever grace this green earth.
Perfectly packed: lots of beautiful people, but more than enough room to be comfortable. Cocktails made from freshly squeezed citrus and berries (and no, i'm not too manly to partake). Excellent service from the barstaff who were even willing to explain the drinks to us. Two words: Chocolate Martini. There IS a God.
But at the end of the night, I began to get hungry. And Yelpers, who know more about food than anyone else, certainly didn't help.
Yelper: Mmm... I could really go for some donuts.
Yelper: Hey, that bacon dog cart sounds good right about now.
Yelper: McDonald's fries are so damn good.
Yelper: Naan n' Curry anyone?
*cravings*
You don't even want to know what weird culinary combination I made when I got home...
I am feeling very uninspired lately. Two of my friends have asked me why I haven't written a review in a while and I think I may just be Yelp-ed out at the moment. What else could I possibly have to add? My Yelp schtick is completely undefined and I've been going through a bit of a dry spell, so I can't even tell you losers about the hipster I'm boning (because there is none). Also, I do everything with you people, so what is the point? It's like I'm dating all of you and we are already in LTR mode. I have no new stories because you were ALREADY THERE.
However, I am forcing myself to write (as Natalie Goldberg would want me to do) because I am completely fucking sick of hearing about the fucking bacon dog cart and if I have to write 100 reviews of bullshit in pig latin & spanish in the next hour in order to avoid reading about the motherfucking bacon dog cart, I will do so.
Catalyst Cocktails allowed me to infect the ears of several dozen Yelpers with cheesy 90s pop & cheesy indie hipster dance music. To those of you who remember this night with the sing along of "Total Eclipse of the Heart", you are very welcome. I am especially grateful for the owner, who completely shooed away some drunk people who came up to my laptop and attempted to change the song because "no one" liked cheesy 90s pop hit, Rhythym of the Night by Corona (to which I say, you clearly have no sense of humor and no taste and no appreciation for the history of pop music). Thank you for understanding my territoriality about my playlist & my computer. I will be sure to return to Catalyst for some of the city's finest made Manhattans.
Let's discuss destructive drinking shall we?
Destructive drinking is when, for any number of reasons, one is unhappy with a certain aspect of their life and uses drinking and a night on the town as some sort of escape from that which emotionally ails you.
Por ejemplo:
Who's that dropping and shattering a cocktail glass on the floor in front of the front door? Don't worry, that's just Kristine destructive drinking.
Who's that chain smoking when she knows she shouldn't be smoking at all? Don't worry, that's just KayJay destructive drinking.
Who's that crying uncontrollably and drunkenly, slurringly yelling nonsense about hair extensions, funny Yelp reviews and skinny white girls? Don't worry, that's just KayJay destructive drinking.
Who's that yelling at the top of her lungs "Is 6 a.m. too late to make a booty call ya'll?!?!" inside a cab? Don't worry, that's just KayJay destructive drinking.
Who's that belting out Total Eclipse of the Heart at the top of her lungs? Oh... wait.. that was all you fools too.
Who's that crying like a baby in her friends arms on some strangers bed? Don't worry, that's just KayJay destructive drinking.
Who's that licking and dry humping the image of Christian Bale on Carla D.'s television set? Don't worry, that's just KayJay destructive drinking.
Who's that drunkenly singing Ella Fitzgerald's version of "Miss Otis Regrets" at the top of her lungs, seventeen times in a row, in her living room at 6:30 a.m.? Don't worry, that's just KayJay destructive drinking.
Who's that emptying out her closet while playing "Journey To The Center of Your Mind" at the highest decibels possible, while sipping on red wine and eating manghego cheese and rice crackers at 7:00 a.m.? Whos that then staggering her ass to the sidewalk and throwing out a box full of clothes and shoes? Don't worry, that's just KayJay destructive drinking.
I know one thing is for sure, Catalyst Cocktails makes the FUCKING BEST $7 Manhattan's. Trust me, I had five of these suckers so I can say with certainty it is THE BEST Manhattan I've had in this city to date. Catalyst is classy, I was sober enough to remember that.
However, can anyone explain why I have the words "RED RUM" written in purple sharpie on my right boob? I wasn't sober enough to remember that shit.
I don't remember much what I did last night.
Something about pantomiming outside and entertaining the bouncer.
I really don't know what else I did. This must be how it feels like being Keane for a night. I no likey.
4 stars for getting me fucked up off of 2 lemon drops and having ample space where I could sit to nurse myself back to normalcy.
This place has a great decor complete with cool artwork adorning the walls, a fantastic fruity concoction cocktail menu, bartenders who are on top of things and make strong drinks, a bail bond place upstairs, a dance floor and comfy booths, food until 9:30....and..........this is the only place outside of a karaoke lounge that I have heard 100 people break into song when Bonnie Tyler was played............
"Turn around

Priceless!
Not sure if you youngsters remember the Gin Joint, but Catalyst took over the space a couple of years ago. It still retains its classic and stylish charm though, and there is a real sense of stumbling onto something, especially since it's located amidst the Bail Bonds off Bryant Street.
There are big comfortable booths, a long bar, even a dance floor, all tucked away into a room that feels just perfect with about one hundred people in it. The bartenders and owner are cool too, really friendly, and ready to pour some serious adult beverages. With it's speakeasy history, order a Martini or Manhattan.
This is a fab hideout, most nights are pretty quiet, perfect for loose lips and saucy conversation.
Alcohol, you have been just no fun lately. I think I'm getting too used to you. I'm always looking for that wonderful state when I'm slightly buzzed and everything just...softens. Yeah, THAT feeling. Not happening. I refuse to drink more than two drinks in order to get it, because, I'm cheap, and I don't like drinking very much.
Well, my visit to the Catalyst did not include the desired buzz, but I got something better - FRUIT in my drink. Wow, my drinks TASTED great, such a good blend of alcohol and pomegranate, grapefruit juice, blueberries, they had it, it was in my drinks.
I had dinner here too - a most excellent burger with a side salad and perfect bleu cheese dressing, on the side.
I'll be back, I love the whole design, the booths, the stools, the bar, the servers, everything.
ok, so, i've been wanting for a while now to take a peak at this place....well, I finally did this past saturday. I really dug the decor and the music was great but shit...wtf? get a real bartendar!! the chic on sat night was god awful! weak ass drinks, let alone the wait for a drink was total bullshit and on top of it all, little miss was all wasted and had noooo business being behind a bar pouring drinks! seriously, it wasn't that busy and the crowd was very tame, a monkey could have done better!
oh, neighborhood sucks ass to hail a cab afterwards though, def call ahead.
The ratio of bail bonds places to cocktail bars in this neighborhood is unsettlingly high. As is the ratio of Justice to cocktail bars, now that I think of it.
(Speaking of which, you Californians may be onto something with your renaming courthouses Halls of Justice. That phrase is begging to be said in the movie-trailer-guy voice. Yelp, I think we need a "record your review" feature so that it makes sense when I say Hall of Justice three or four times in a pseudo-deep voice now.)
Hall of Justice.
Hall...of JUSTICE!
HALL. OF JUSTICE.
That was fun.
HAAAAALL of justice.
Okay now I'm really finished.
Anyway, despite the strange neighborhood full of bail bonds and justice, this is a pretty classy little bar with an extensive drink menu and live jazz. Well drinks are $2 on Tuesday, but I'd recommend sampling something off the cocktail menu, like the blackberry margarita, which was fantastic. And, if you are the type of person who likes to mix your drinking with your getting arrested, you're in luck, because upstairs is a bail bonds place and around the corner is the...
(say it with me in a funny deep voice)
Hall of Justice.
I went to Catalyst Cocktails last night and could not believe how awful the bartender was. First this was a benefit party my friends were throwing for a charity. You would think the staff would have been a little friendlier.
The chick that was behind the bar so obviously didn't want to be there, or really hated her job, or hated the benefit. It was hard to tell which, but I can say one thing for her, she was equally bitchy, rude, and inattentive to everyone. I stayed out of obligation to my friend, but I over heard from most of the people all night how they thought the bartender hated them or how she was so rude. I even heard a few leave because she was ruining the vibe of the party.
Don't be fooled by the beautiful decor and waste your money or time at this place, the staff sucks and the drinks are weak and over priced.
Holy incongruous juxtapositions!
This pseudo-swank watering hole is lodged firmly in the ass-crack of Bail Bond Row. Across the street sprawls the SF jail like a concrete Jabba the Hutt, and surrounding the Catalyst itself (including directly upstairs) is sign after neon sign advertising bail bonds for the lowly and incarcerated unfortunates.
Inside, however, Art Deco ceiling lights radiate over the bar like the crown of the Statue of Liberty dressed in gold bling, and tasteful artwork fills the wall space between frosted glass lamps.
In the back of this narrow shoebox space, dancers squeeze onto a postage-stamp dancefloor while the DJs spin...well...just about anything. Catalyst seems to welcome DJs who play the most random and unpredictable selections: reggae and dancehall one night, goth-industrial the next, and rockabilly rave-ups the night after that.
Make sure to bring your sense of absurdity. 12-oz. bottles of PBR are only $2.50, so even if the decor seems fancy, your anti-establishment side can still drink for cheap and revel in the fact that The Man hasn't put you in prison...yet.
Not only is Catalyst a darling place to hold a private party, it beholds the best Cosmopolitan I have ever tasted!
The plentitude of booths, along with the perfect sized dance floor, make for a great mix of lounging & rocking.
Next time I bail someone out, don't quite make it to the EndUP, or for some other reason am in the proximity...I'll be back to celebrate!
I am a greyhound drinkin whore and was sooo pissed to realize Eric W and Jeff T used up all the grapefruit!!!! I mean i was soo looking forward to finally having my choice liquid fresh-squeezed and was f*ckin cock-blocked by those two punks...oh well, went with a screwdriver and was mightilly pleased by the refreshing flavors and appetizing aroma.
Barstaff weren't so friendly but very professional, skilled in their fruit-squeezing craft and handled speedy transactions. Spot was over capacity cause of Ed's bday but didn't matter since yelpers don't have a problem being in close quarters and get with the defensive grabbin when necessary.
Saw the funniest shit when i saw the fittingly appropriate Arby's B-Day cake with only a few bites sunk in...a female yelper walked by in a gaze and said damn, i need to grub on that shit! i was like do your thing girl, i won't tell...right when she went for the bite i waved over to Keane, Jeff, Kate, Drue and others signaling and pointing out the devious act...they were all rolling and Kathryn didn't even give a shit and was just all smiles..oops- me and my big mouth!
Not the poshest spot in SF but this bar is worth a stop with loads of friends for some yummy fruit alco freshness...i like it!
When I received an invitation to a private event and it listed this place as the location, I was a little skeptical. I mean, its below Dad's Bail Bonds for God's sake.
I went with little or no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly, the drinks were strong, and the boys were plentiful. What more does a bar need?
The 4 Elements of Ghettoness:
- Bail Bonds
- Check Cashing
- Corner Liquor Store
- Popeye's Chicken (Church's or Louisiana also qualifies)
Add 1 point for having one of these elements on the block
Add .2 points for every additional repeat element (e.g. 2 bail bonds = 1.2 points)
By this measure, the block (Bryant between 6th and 7th St.) rates about 3.8 purely on the number of bail bondsmen on the street. So it's a little surprising that you can find a little hipster bar like Catalyst tucked into a corner of this ~4.0 ghettoness.
The interior is dark but has a warmly inviting glow. Booths line about half the compact floorspace, with a small table area and dance floor in back. But the star of this show is definitely the bar and its impressive selection of spirits.
The owner is frequently mixing drinks behind the bar. I give points for his mellow demeanor and his attention to detail. The food is surprisingly good for a tiny bar such as this - I've had both the Catalyst burger and the tortellini. The Catalyst lemon drop is purportedly the best lemon drop in San Francisco. This is a rather audacious claim, but I have to admit they are rather tasty. Less tasty are the flavored mojitos and margaritas and the signature Catalyst Cocktail. While I admire the amount of work that goes into all that muddling and crushing, the end result just isn't that pleasing (although it is usually potent).
I could be wrong but there is a sense of sinecure about the place, like the owner doesn't need to actually work to keep the bar open but likes to enjoy a genteel quasi-retirement mixing drinks. That might explain the rather relaxed pace at which drinks are made and people are served. Definitely not your fastest drink.
An eclectic lineup of DJs plays the bar in the latter half of the week. Somehow I've always managed to miss them and get to listen to whatever CD is in the rotation, which has varied from trip hop to house to something that sounded like blue grass funk.
Clandestine on weekdays. Ain't a soul in there. I call it the hideout. Hideouts are good.
Weekends? Never been...
Another place that can't quite figure itself out.
In SOMA but on bail bonds row.
A bar but has booths in the bar area. These aren't even cozy booths. We fit six in ours.
Pretty but nothing in the decor quite goes together.
Dancing area but with seats under the crystal ball.
Sad to say, I didn't find any good places to dance. The music and drinks got me going, but the inner dancing queen just didn't feel it.
This 5 star (drinks) makes me re-think other 5 stars I've given. The drinks are freak'n delicious. Pricey, but delicious. The pizza looked & smelled fantastic...I'll have to come back for it.
I'd never have tried it from the look of the outside, but make sure you saddle up to this hip and delicious drinking mecca. All the cocktails are created from fresh berries and herbs and served the with style. None of those acid-nasty mixers! The interior is decco-inspired with a bit of swank and a dash of hipster cool. Bartenders are saucy, food is yummy, music is groovy. A++ My new drinking hole.
***brought it down a notch after my 2nd experience. it was very quiet inside and they kept forgetting to put on the music.
"Meet me and a friend at the Catalyst", my now-boyfriend offered as one of our first dates.
Since then, I've come back again and again for the great bartenders, the stellar cocktails, the great laid-back atmosphere. Catalyst is THE bar in San Francisco that will always deliver. Whether you and two friends are the only ones in the bar or it is totally crowded, there's something about the place that just gets you into a good mood.
Don't come crawling for happy hour- even at full price these drinks, with names like "Ukrainian Quaalude" are worth every Dollar. You really get three cocktails worth at the price of one, the bartenders mean business when they add the booze.
If there was one place in SF that would deserve an additional star, Catalyst would be it!
I hit this spot on new years. VERY cool spot. really good aps. quick drinks,. dj 's were good. close to some pretty crazy places and a tiny little diner -like micky d'd accross the street. wierd.
*****good friendly spot*******
Great place for birthdays!! You couldn't ask for a more accomodating place to hold your private bash in. The owner, Matt, is wonderful to work with and his staff is the ultimate in friendliness and good fun! Go there and check it out. Probably Friday after work is the best time for mixing if you haven't been yet.
The drinks are inventive and divine! I have sampled many - yum!
I meant to write this review months ago, we found this place randomly to hold a going away party for some friends of ours. Matt the owner was very helpful in accommodating our group. The bartenders were great and the food was tasty for bar food. It was perfect for the size of our group and there was parking nearby (granted you want to be careful leaving after having drinks since it's across from the hall of justice).
I probably would have brought my own DJ...next time.
The drinks are ok. The space is ok too, but a bit uncomfortable when it gets crowded since its long and there aren't enough places to sit or stand without getting rubbed up against by everyone walking to or from the bar. I have never had a good time here, I don't know why. I only go there if I have to for an obligatory birthday or something like that. The neighborhood is crappy. I don't like being so close to the cop shop.
I give this place a big bleh.
I'm not a bar person but the Catalyst lounge is too cute. I went there for a Bow Tie party for a friend's birthday and I had fun even though everyone there looked like they stepped out of fashion magazine. I mean, shoot, I wish I could look good in a 80s bow tie prom dress. Seriously. Granted, it was a theme party but this place was the perfect venue for it. The bar staff was really nice and the music was insanely good (all 80s the night I went) but they have other themed nights that I would definitely want to check out. It's also easy to find and parking around the area is not that bad.
GREAT BAR! This place has everything you'd want in a watering hole...fantastic music, fantastic people working there, amazing drinks, a comfy bar, high booths...what else does one need?
I visited this place for the first time last night. I immediately fell in love with the art deco-like decor and the friendliness of the folks behind the bar.
If you're looking for a great place to hang out, this may be the place.
Five days before my birthday, a special someone decided to tell me that things weren't really "mutual" between us (and got pissed about the fact that I didn't invite her to my b-day, but that's a story for another day). So on my birthday, I ended up having dinner at the Kanzai (shameless plug) and then drinks at the Catalyst with two dear friends. Good, strong stuff, perfect for those moments in life.
Interestingly enough, only the "open stage" for all sorts of musicians saved me from getting completely wasted - in that case I wouldn't have been able to listen to them any more. Which I really wanted because they were all very good. Can't even tell the style, but it was a cool, comforting jam session. And more and more musicians kept coming, even way past midnight. So don't drink too much too soon at the Catalyst.
Update 12-31-2006: Had no choice but to upgrade my rating to five stars. All the nights I've come to the Catalyst since writing the review, it keeps on delivering. Did a quick stop on New Year's Eve here and had a Catalyst Lemon Drop - basically a triple shot of vodka with a hint of lemon. And the barkeepers should get six stars at least, really.

Located on a random street alley below Dad's Bali Bonds and adjacent to a scad of metro condos, I was ecstatic to find this cool looking bar in this barren and more often dead part of town.
Perhaps it was because of the Bloc Party concert about to start across the street. Or perhaps it was because of St. Patty's Day.
Either way, I must have come here on an off night because the place was obviously understaffed and the bartender/bar-back looked rattled...and were in over their heads.
It took me 25 minutes to get a drink....
I'll have to come back at a more leisurely time to really experience this place.
This review is way overdue, but better late than never. I love this place and am almost reluctant to tell you about it. First off, this is only a review of the Pleasure Principle night every 3rd Friday of the month with awesome 80's/New Wave music. We all have to get our Depeche Mode and New Order fix every once in awhile, no?. If you like going to chill places for a drink or two, this is the place to be!
Anyway, this is a small, cute place in SOMA with plenty of street parking, but carry some pepper spray or nunchucks for any encounters with releases from the nearby police station.
I had a b-day shindig here awhile ago and Matt (the private party person) was super nice and accommodating. I also love their ecclectic drink menu since I'm "allergic" to Vodka and typically have limited cocktail choices. They also serve food until about 9pm. This place is never really too crowded, but my asocial self likes it that way.
