Bars in the Mission, San Francisco, CA

Mosto

Business Casual / Casual / Jeans

Party Earth Review It’s all about the blue agave at Mosto, a Mission haunt that gained instant notoriety for its 300+ tequilas, as well as its proximity to hip Mexican restaurant Tacolicious – run by the same folks – right next door. The entire ceiling is adorned with Mason jars, some of which hold random keepsakes like notes and other tokens ... more

Double Dutch

80s Music / 90s Music / Bar / Club

Party Earth Review For those who worship Wu-Tang and roll their eyes at Lil’ Wayne, who think Young MC’s Bust a Move should be sung in church, and who rank Brooklyn’s 80s break dancing scene as their own version of Shangri-La, then it doesn’t get much better than Double Dutch. True, the venue is dark, cramped by design, and eye-blinkingly ... more

Phone Booth

20s / 30s / 40s / Average Joes / Chill

Party Earth Review Located south of the heaviest Mission drinking scene on a largely residential stretch, Phone Booth may have a cream-colored façade that’s as understated as, well, a phone company’s, but the similarities end there. Open since the 80s, the name stems from a long-gone Pacific Bell office that stood across the street, when ... more

Make-Out Room

20s / 30s / African Funk / ATM / Dive

Party Earth Review Part dive bar, part DJ dance floor, and part live performance venue, Make-Out Room is a smorgasbord of nightlife delights clearly seen through the horn-rimmed specs of its regular clientele. After forking over the cover to the hipsteroid bouncer, patrons enter an elaborately decorated room featuring hundreds of streamers ... more

The Hideout at Dalva

20s / 30s / Affluent Hipsters

Party Earth Review A covert bar inside another bar, The Hideout is a classy alternative to the neighboring dives that dominate 16th Street, including Dalva, the very one it’s hidden behind. Small groups of young professionals plow through the long room that makes up Dalva, past the horse painting and projection screen showing silent films ... more

The Knockout

20s / 30s / 40s / 90s Music / ATM / Bands

Party Earth Review Although far removed from the Mission’s pulsing nightlife center, The Knockout offers a packed schedule of live entertainment bound to appeal to a variety of true dive lovers. From the logo of a hard-boozing Mexican wrestler out front to the kitschy interior strewn with neon signs, random photographs, and vintage album ... more

Casanova Lounge

30s / ATM / Anything goes / Artsy / DJ

Party Earth Review Whether the name is meant ironically or in reverence to the famed womanizer is anyone's guess, but what’s irrefutable is that Casanova Lounge has one of the most varied DJ lineups in town – as well as one of the cheapest drink selections in The Mission. Reminiscent of a 1970s bachelor pad, the space features red-orange ... more

The Napper Tandy

20s / 30s / 40s / Anything goes / TVs

Party Earth Review Just on the southern edge of the busy Mission drinking scene, corner pub The Napper Tandy is authentically Irish from the name out front to the brogues of its waitresses to the all-you-can-eat fish and chips on Mondays. From the outside, little sets the place apart from the slew of nearby bars save for the large front ... more

The Monk's Kettle

30s / 40s / Bar / Beer / Beer Lovers

Party Earth Review Though it’s named in honor of Trappist monks who brew some of the finest craft beers in the world, The Monk’s Kettle is far too busy to pass for a monastery. The cozy gastropub’s carved hardwood bar, Beaux-Arts booths, and vintage lighting give it more of a classy European café vibe, setting it apart from the dives that ... more

Beretta

30s / 40s / 80s Music / Artsy / Brunch

Party Earth Review There are tons of places in the city to grab a slice of pizza, but at the always-packed Beretta, an artisan pie comes with artfully crafted cocktails on the side. A long communal table and wide bar provide plenty of opportunities for singles and groups to mingle, while intimate candlelit tables by the windows and on the ... more

Bars in the Mission Overview

Lost Weekend Video - Event Space in Mission, SF

Attracting an eclectic crowd from the far corners of the city, the Mission district, just south of San Francisco’s center is home to some of the most diverse bars on this west coast city’s scene.

Thriving on Latin America roots, the area boasts a carnival-esque ambience with a kaleidoscope of murals fashioning this trendy neighborhood scene. Drawing in a diverse crowd, the Mission is known for its laid-back atmosphere and open-mindedness. With revelers hitting the locale, starting at sundown, the area becomes a festival of bars and music lining the streets, as crowds saunter along 24^th Street in search of good vibes and a cold beer.

Never short on variety, bars in the Mission range from dives and karaoke bars to salsa bars. Slip into any of these Mission bars and be faced with a chilled atmosphere, the clinking of drinks, and waves of conversation that accompany the live music, which usually headline the bars’ nightly calendars.

Although a burgeoning scene for trendsetters and hipsters alike, this neighborhood lacks pretention and oozes good times, hosting a mixed bag of merrymakers, from students to yuppies, and everything in between. The Mission bars are mostly free admission, fun and friendly, making them a great start to a big night out, or a great night out overall.
