Bus Stop - Sports Bar in San Francisco.
  • review
  • user reviews (1)

Party Earth Review Situated on trendy Union Street, Bus Stop is a neighborhood sports bar popular with relaxed Giants-loving regulars on game days and more boisterous twenty-something social butterflies on Friday and Saturday nights. Weekdays see middle-aged sports buffs in baseball hats and college football sweatshirts hanging out in the ... more

Bamboo Hut - Tiki Bar in San Francisco.
  • review
  • user reviews (3)

Party Earth Review Located right on the border between Downtown and North Beach's seedy heart – an area that’s catered to sexual indiscretion since the 1800s – Bamboo Hut is a tropical refuge from the titty bars and porn shops that still populate Broadway Street today. A giant tiki head marks the entrance, but that’s just the beginning of ... more

Wine Bar

Barrique - Wine Bar in San Francisco.
  • review
  • user reviews

Party Earth Review Barrique is French for barrel, and inside this brightly lit warehouse of a wine bar there are eighteen of them stacked against one wall, tapped and filled to capacity with the equivalent of three hundred bottles each – a quantity that keeps patrons in good spirits at a good price. The wine itself often comes from smaller ... more

Party Earth Review An upscale restaurant for sports lovers, The Republic offers its affluent Marina clientele a place to both comfortably enjoy a game and indulge in some vivacious nightlife.

Bacchus Wine & Sake Bar - Sake Bar | Wine Bar in San Francisco.
  • review
  • user reviews (2)

Party Earth Review While cozy wine bars have arguably become as quintessentially San Franciscan as cable cars, steep hills, and brightly painted Victorians, Bacchus Wine & Sake Bar puts added emphasis on the “cozy” part. Situated on a tree-lined block of Hyde Street, the tiny venue could classify as crowded with barely a dozen people inside ... more

Party Earth Review Located on the ground floor of a brick office building and accessed via a narrow alley just off Montgomery Street, John Colins is a popular little club with Happy Hour specials characteristic of a casual neighborhood bar. Murals of coastal scenes and mounted surfboards combine with impressionistic cityscapes to create ... more

Bourbon & Branch - Bar | Speakeasy in San Francisco.
  • review
  • user reviews (5)

Party Earth Review The word “speakeasy” may be bantered about a lot, but Bourbon & Branch has the distinction of operating in a location that actually was one – in the form of JJ Russell's Cigar Shop – from 1921 to 1933. Much like in its heyday, the venue still sports an unmarked door, requires a password to enter, and leads guests through ... more

Rye - Cocktail Bar | Lounge in San Francisco.
  • review
  • user reviews (2)

Party Earth Review Tucked near the border of affluent Nob Hill and the decidedly non-affluent Tenderloin, Rye is a cozy cocktail lounge with a name alluding to whiskey but a menu far more generous to gin. Once inside, well-dressed mixology geeks order gimlets crafted with great care, and newbies learn fast that the small sunken bar is not ... more

Party Earth Review Only halfway up a small alley but worlds away from the neighboring North Beach strip clubs, 15 Romolo – inside the extended-stay Basque Hotel – is a hard-to-find bar that entices crowds with intricately crafted cocktails and a hipster vibe not exactly prevalent in this touristy part of town.

Party Earth Review Born as a biker haven, Zeitgeist has evolved into an institutional dive that attracts everyone from Harley loyalists to skinny-jeaned bike messengers with its mix of surly bartenders, solid beer selection, and expansive graffiti-laden courtyard.

Party Earth Review With standard-issue Guinness signs, tarnished mirrors, Celtic script, and an abundance of dark hardwood, the Irish vibe is alive and smilin’ at Chug Pub, clearly a nod to its former life as The Dubliner.

Party Earth Review Apart from its cave-like exterior and the big carved Buddha in a niche behind the bar, Li Po Cocktail Lounge is far from an ancient Chinese shrine. It was, however, formerly an opium den – at least that’s the rumor – and bartenders often spook visitors with tales of drug-addled ghosts showing up when people forget to tip ... more

SF Bars Overview

Smuggler's Cove - Bar | Rum Bar in SF

Open your golden gates, Bay Area, and let us in to the incredible array of bars in San Francisco. The city is certainly known for its wine given the proximity to the famed Napa Valley, and lovers of the grape will enjoy a thousand lifetimes of wine bars, from swanky spots to budget-friendly dens to down a bottle or three.

If sipping wine doesn’t entice, it’s hardly a chore to fill the void, as SF bars cover the gamut and serve up just about everything one can imagine. The hipster-heavy Mission is known for its great mixology spots and gastropubs, as well as a plethora of gritty dive bars that seemingly haven’t been cleaned since the Great Earthquake.

It’s a meat-market in the upscale Marina on the weekends, with bar-hoppers spilling into the streets, and the same can be said of Polk Street in Russian Hill. Known for its vivid gay history, The Castro welcomes everyone into its bars with the requisite rainbow flags out front, and though the hippy heydays have long since burned off The Haight, it’s still a great place to find cheap beer and unpretentious drinking dens.

San Francisco bars are like its people: diverse, festive, and full of life, so whether visitors want to cry in their beer at a Tenderloin dive, sample the latest mixology craze at a speakeasy blocks away, or let loose in a tropical drink paradise way on the outskirts of town, SF bars have it covered like the fog covers the city.
