Old-school jazz club with live music on most nights - check the events calendar for a rundown of the visiting musicians. The food and drinks hold up well, particularly the cocktails. An intimate music experience.
Wide selection of wines and staff that knows what they're talking about. Used to be an old record store so there are vinyls lining the wall. Good rectangular pizza and fresh oysters. Super comfy and quirky spot.
High-quality wine, cheese, and charcuterie. A super stylish venue with an ambience to match. Wines can be ordered by the glass or bottle. An all-around good experience and a neighborhood favorite.
Hard liquors, cocktails, upscale bar fare, and evening jazz in an old-school venue. Comstock Saloon's experienced bartenders will often go off-menu to ensure drinks are exactly to preference. A sophisticated evening.
Trendy bistro-bar in North Beach with a great wine selection that pairs with its menu of small plates and charcuterie. An ideal spot for social occasions. The staff are highly knowledgable and provide attentive service.
Great spot for a nice cocktail with amazing food. Go for a drink or two, then head to Club Deluxe or Cha Cha Cha and dance the night away 🕺💃.
Total dive 🍻 with different themed music nights. Great to come and dance at. If you like crowded bars and sticky floors, this will be up your alley. A local's spot, with live music on some nights 🕺.
Historic gay bar in The Castro. One of the first of its kind where patrons could be seen within, an uncommon occurrence in a less-accepting time. The cocktails are great and so is the vintage decor. All are welcome.
Trendy cocktail bar named in tribute to the famous Eagles song. Tucked discreetly down a sidestreet in the Financial District. Best for happy hour drinks (4P M until 6 PM) but also offers some pretty good eats.
Strong margaritas and salsa dancing beneath a hanging graveyard of deteriorating piñatas - perhaps a dramatization, but the vibe is undoubtedly cool. A solid spot to start a night out in The Mission. Again, the margaritas are no joke.
Cool place with indoor and outdoor seating. It kind of feels like your hometown dive bar but a bit more upscale. Try the spooky puppy and enjoy the live music if you're lucky and there's a band playing! Tons of beer on tap.
Darkly lit bar in the middle of Chinatown. Talk to the bartender for some good laughs but be careful because they can do heavy pours. A wide range of drink options.

Cow Hollow sports bar pouring more Fernet-Branca than anywhere else in the country. Crowds pack the room for games, with a chalkboard list managing the pool table in the back.
Plush cocktail parlour tucked on the second floor above the Bus Stop Saloon. The room pairs velvet nooks and a fireplace with cold martinis, wagyu bites, and caviar bumps.
Lower Haight taproom pouring experimental house brews and natural wines alongside rotating food pop-ups. The moody, plant-filled interior opens onto a secluded back deck for outdoor sessions.
