Happy Hour in San Francisco
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

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 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 The Orbit Room Cafe combines the ambiance of a swanky cocktail lounge with the friendly familiarity of a pizza joint, which makes it an ideal place to sip a Sazerac or just nosh on a slice. Metallic gold patterns on the walls, space-age chandeliers, and faded maps and globes make the high-ceilinged room look like a steampunk ... more

Party Earth Review It’s a party every night at SF Badlands, a Castro institution for young boys who love to dance and older men who aren’t afraid to stare. Heavily discounted Happy Hour specials draw patrons in by the early afternoon, and Sunday’s regular all-you-can drink beer busts even inspire a few uninhibited straight guys to sidle in ... more

Party Earth Review People don’t go to The Alembic for Jägermeister and Red Bull, DJs and dancing, or cheap beer and bar food. Nobody plays flip-cup on the suede stools that line the mustard-colored walls, gyrates on the rustic tables, or catches the game on the non-existent TVs. Instead, this cozy little slice of hipster heaven attracts its ... more

Party Earth Review Located a few blocks from the madness of North Beach, amid hordes of high-rises and scurrying, briefcase-toting fellows, Comstock Saloon is a beautiful homage to the Barbary days of yore – minus the toothless gunslingers angling for moonshine. Named after noted mining tycoon Henry Comstock, the bar occupies a space that ... more

Party Earth Review When longtime regulars visit Persian-themed Aub Zam Zam, they probably reminisce about former owner Bruno Mooshei, a man so famously cantankerous he’d toss a customer just for ordering a martini with vodka instead of gin. The rules have relaxed since Mooshei went off to that hand-woven carpet in the sky in 2000, but while ... more

Party Earth Review Several blocks east of the famous Haight-Ashbury intersection and all its hippy/tourist trappings is a cozy little slice of Italy called Uva Enoteca. The name means “grape wine bar,” and owners take the translation seriously, stocking nothing but 100% Italian varietals on the extensive drink list. Older couples drop by ... 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.
