About

LA's best Korean inspired tapas bar is finally here in San Francisco. Welcome to Jilli, the city's first makgeolli bar and your new favorite spot where Korean tradition meets California energy.

We are all about that cloudy fizzy rice wine, pouring small batch brews next to a changing lineup of natural wines, and premium soju. Our menu is a playful mix of Korean inspired plates that shift with the seasons and whatever we are vibing with.

Whether you are here for a solo sip or a full table in the heated patio with friends, Jilli is your spot to try something new, chill out, and maybe catch some old Korean cartoons playing in the background.

Occasions
혼술 [hon sool solo drinking vibes]
Just you and a glass
Sometimes you just want to sit, sip, and not talk to anyone. Jilli is the kind of place where you can come alone, order some snacks, pour your own drink, and zone out to good music and better flavors. No one’s judging. Everyone gets it.
친구 [ with chingoos who just get you]
Catch-ups that turn into late nights
You came for one drink and suddenly it’s four plates deep and you’re laughing too loud. That’s what Jilli is for. Easy drinks, good food, and space for your group to hang over good vibezz.
파뤼타임 [big party]
