"Amaro-forward Bar 821 has been around since 2002, but the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the bar into closure in 2020. It took four long years for it to return, mounting a comeback in April 2024, ready to share its rare and unusual amari with San Francisco once again. There are over 200 amari to sip on here, but if you’re looking for a place to start, go with the amaro or fernet flights." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
