White Rabbit

Vibe: Cow Hollow Music Lounge | Historic Fillmore Address | Vinyl-Forward Cocktail Bar

White Rabbit is a casual but polished Cow Hollow bar with a genuine music identity. Located in the former Matrix space on Fillmore, it carries a piece of San Francisco rock history into the present, pairing cocktails and a relaxed lounge atmosphere with a calendar built around local artists, records, and nights that can move from conversation into dancing.

Drinks & Atmosphere
The room is designed to feel social rather than precious: no-fuss cocktails, beer, wine, and a broad spirits selection in a warm, living-room-inspired setting. It is more polished than a dive but looser than a bottle-service club, making it an easy fit for dates, small groups, or an unplanned night out in Cow Hollow.

Live Music & Scene
Music is the core of White Rabbit’s identity. The venue sits at the former home of the Matrix, one of the formative rooms in San Francisco’s 1960s rock scene, and its current programming keeps that musical lineage in view by giving local artists an intimate, accessible place to perform.

Expect close-up performances and music-centered nights that work with the room’s cocktail-bar feel rather than turning it into a large concert hall. The vinyl collection and early-evening listening culture reinforce the point: this is a bar for people who want the music to matter, but still want to talk, drink, and stay awhile.
