Happy Hour in San Francisco
30s / 40s / Ambient Jazz / Artsy / DJ
Party Earth Review Wine lovers craving a trip to Napa Valley can save themselves the hour trek by popping into Press Club instead, a cavernous, subterranean lounge and wine bar popular with chic ladies and dedicated connoisseurs eager to sift, swirl, and sip their way through the evening. Tucked below Yerba Buena Lane – a pedestrian-only ... more

Party Earth Review There’s no shortage of karaoke dive bars in San Francisco, but for those who want bottle service to go with their power ballads or sushi to supplement their show tunes, it doesn’t get much better than Pandora Karaoke & Bar. A daily Happy Hour attracts a casual crowd of young professionals, who pop in for cheap beer and ... more

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 Although it’s doubtful anyone will spy posh princesses traipsing below the 500 Club’s retro sign, those who love a classic neighborhood dive will find a room where the Giants and Niners are welcome, the Happy Hour or other great specials run daily, the karaoke is brilliantly awful, and the photo booth is ... more

Party Earth Review Part live music venue and part DJ haunt, El Rio in San Francisco also hosts film and art showcases, comedy acts, burlesque routines, salsa nights, karaoke, impromptu jams, and loads of neighborhood fundraisers, making it a go-to spot for a crazy quilt of San Francisco’s eclectic populace. Old regulars with ... more

Party Earth Review The Castro neighborhood is known for its pulsating, over-the-top party scene, and Barracuda Sushi plays its part to the hilt with cranked-up club music, all-you-can-eat lunches, and endless pitchers of bubbly cocktails. By no means a spot for sushi purists, the restaurant’s eclectic fusion menu draws a high-energy mix of ... more

Party Earth Review The Mission area may not be a sports bar lover’s paradise, but the lack of competition isn’t the only reason The Phoenix Irish Bar is so popular. True, patrons will find the game they’re looking for – from the Stanley Cup to the World Cup – on the flat-screen TVs, but they’ll also encounter a solid menu of Celtic grub and ... more

Party Earth Review Quiz nights, DJs, and lots of fish and chips are on the plate at Edinburgh Castle Pub, a longstanding SF institution that’s a palace of unpretentious fun. An understated façade makes it easy to mistake this place for just another cramped dive. But once inside, visitors discover a high-ceilinged room replete with Scottish ... more

Party Earth Review Deep-fried Twinkies and half an aluminum trailer crammed in the corner are only the beginning at Butter, San Francisco’s most unapologetically white trash bar.

Party Earth Review A bare-bones dive in the heart of Chinatown, Red’s Place is perpetually brimming with intrepid tourists and loquacious locals – some toothless ‘n’ smoking, some dapper ‘n’ swilling – who sway to the beats from a surprisingly shiny new jukebox atop squeaking vinyl stools.

Party Earth Review Delirium means severe confusion resulting from illness, and seeing as how this grungy Mission joint serves up loud music and ridiculously low-priced drinks nightly, it’s not a stretch to suggest that regulars have a propensity to go off the deep end.

SF Happy Hour Overview
San Francisco is definitely not short on places to grab a drink. The benefit of having so many watering holes in this town is that there’s an excellent chance the neighborhood bar down the street has a hopping happy hour where patrons can save a few bucks.
Castro is a great place to start for those seeking a San Francisco happy hour. As the historical haunt of the area’s sizeable gay population, revelry and good vibes dominate the venues here. Q Bar, Castro 440, Moby Dick, Hi Tops, and Blackbird are just a few spots with price-busting happy hours.
For a more mainstream happy hour in San Francisco, the Mission is full of bars where PBR gets extra cheap during that special time of the day. At the Knockout, the late-evening happy hour lures customers in, while the karaoke, trivia, and bingo nights keep them coming back for more. Anyone who thinks canned beer isn’t the way to go can head to happy hour a few blocks over at communist-themed Laszlo for a Trumer Pils.
A solid happy hour that’s off the beaten path, but worth the trip for the free food, can be found at The Riptide in The Sunset. In addition to its drink specials, the bar offers a nightly rotation of free grub like hot dog Tuesdays, nacho Wednesdays, and DIY grilled cheese Thursdays. The Riptide also has killer views of the Pacific Ocean and a snuggle-worthy fireplace.
