Happy Hour in San Francisco
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

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

Party Earth Review On the frontier between ongoing gentrification in The Mission and the growing post-industrial rebirth of neighboring Potrero Hill lies The Homestead, a classic saloon right down to the ragged piano and iron pot-bellied stove crackling in the corner. A hardwood bar with an ancient cash register leaves just enough space ... more

Party Earth Review One of three catty-corner bars that make up The Triangle – the undeniable heart of the preppy Marina singles scene – Eastside West Restaurant & Bar is a quiet and stylish seafood joint for much of the week. Fridays, however, see a flood of young blood start trickling in for Happy Hour, with former college frat stars snagging ... more

Party Earth Review Opened in the late 80s by a palm tree importer – which explains the towering Arecaceae Palmae planted out front – Lone Palm is a cross between a sultry art deco lounge and a tropical speakeasy. Rows of candlelit white-linen tables run down one side of the room which, combined with the pervasive burgundy hue from the dark ... more

Party Earth Review Located just steps from the historic Haight-Ashbury intersection, Club Deluxe is a throwback to a time very different from the 1960s counterculture the Haight is best known for. Instead of political slogans and free love, this jazz and pizza joint is a hub for Kennedy-era pleasures like artisan cocktails and bebop ... more

Party Earth Review With a menu of traditional grub, a tap list stocked with Irish favorites, and a staff that isn’t faking their accents, Kate O’Brien’s is an authentic little clover-kissed sports bar with an atmosphere about as far from pretentious as San Francisco is from Dublin. Popular with the Downtown crowd ... more

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

Party Earth Review The bartenders may pour lots of creamy Guinness like at any Irish bar, but Blackthorn Tavern is more than just another quaint pub to snag a pint. And though more than a dozen flat-screen TVs dedicated to football, baseball, basketball, soccer, UFC fights, and boxing make the place a top-notch sports bar, it isn’t just another ... more

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

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.
