Bars in the Marina / Cow Hollow Overview

Palace of Fine Arts Theatre - Theater in Marina / Cow Hollow, SF

Bars in Marina and Cow Hollow are popular haunts for successful post-grads and fashionable scenesters, along with an older, moneyed crowd, who all reside in and around the area. Though there exists a few Cow Hollow bars to wet one’s whistle, there are more Marina bars to choose from.

One of three catty-corner bars that make up The Triangle – the heart of the preppy Marina/Cow Hollow singles scene – Eastside West Restaurant & Bar is a quiet and stylish seafood spot by day, and fortified fountain of flirting at night where DJs spin Top 40 and hip-hop.

MatrixFillmore is a storied haunt that shows little evidence of its rock and roll past. Opened by Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane in 1965, the bar is now posh and sparkly with a lounge/club vibe. It’s a sure place to find Bay Area VIPs rubbing shoulders with each other while sipping on pricey cocktails.
