  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for live music
An exceptionally stylish supper club, civilized speakeasy, a sophisticated saloon. Each of these "personae" is housed in a soaring two-story interior distinguished by a gently curving mahogany bar, fluted columns with ornate capitals, stunning original art, plush banquettes, cozy booths, starched linens, glittering glasses, and polished flatware.
Overall, the ambiance is pure 1930's and 1940's - tasteful art moderne reminiscent of the glory days of Cunard and French Line ships. Fashionable and glamorous are the hallmarks. Trendy is simply not a part of the BIX culture.
The clientele at BIX ranges from San Francisco movers-and-shakers to "savvy travelers" - owner Doug Biederbeck's term for the many diners in the know from out of town who patronize his establishment.
All of them step from the featureless alley into another world - a world of superb cookery and libations, of sparkling service, of stylish nostalgia, of polished live jazz. That world is BIX.

    Slightly disappointing overall. Great cocktails and excellent service but very little live music- just piano - which is what drew us to Bix. Food was good but not great.

    We had a 9pm reservation and were not seated until 9:30. The manager comp’d an appetizer which was nice. Our waitstaff was excellent. My daughter’s truffle burger was undercooked. Ordered medium and served rare. My rock cod was tasty but super small portion. Banana bread pudding was excellent. I’ve been a loyal Bix customer since the mid-90’s. This is the first time we’ve experienced anything less than amazing food and service. Hopefully just an off night.

    We had a wonderful time. The food, drinks, setting and live music were all amazing. We had 1 entree (wagyu steak), 4 sides/aps and 2 cocktails and it was just under $200 before tip. Honestly not bad at all for such a well put together super club experience. Great place for a date or dinner with close friends!

    A wonderful evening of good food and good service. Tables were very close together which made it difficult to deliver food and clear plates.
