Bars in Potrero Hill Overview

With an eclectic mix of industrial estates and condos, it’s true that Potrero Hill doesn’t have the most happening social scene on San Francisco’s calendar. However, cool bars with awesome crowds do still exist in this Bay Area locale.

From evening onwards, this sleepy neighborhood begins to swell as merry patrons make their way in search of a cold one. Although locals make up much of this scene, tenacious tourists, buzzing blue collars, cool college kids, and serious music heads come to indulge in a vibrant bar scene.

Big time music fans are regulars in hangouts such as Bottom of the Hill. Although it may not look like anything out of the ordinary from the outside, the venue hosts lively revelers and some of the west coast’s best untapped artists; this spot is always a good call.

Local blue collars that populate this neighborhood can be spotted with a tall beer in the likes of Dogpatch Saloon. With Sundays seeing a particularly lively crowd as jazz takes to the stage, it is not long before everyone is in an electric mood.
