Hi Dive San Francisco
Unlike most of the hoity-toity spots along the waterfront, Hi Dive is a straight-up bar for guys’ guys and the girls who love them. Cheap brews (especially at happy hour), passable bar food, sweet views, and a rowdy crowd always make for a good time.

Bar Crudo San Francisco
This downtown joint has a modern approach to the raw bar concept (think tuna cubes with ginger soy, siracha, and green onions) and plenty of Belgian ales on tap to wash it down.

The Slanted Door San Francisco
This bustling Vietnamese restaurant located in the Ferry Building serves some of the best food in San Francisco. Reservations are tough, but you can always hover at the bar where it’s first come, first served. Only a crazy person would miss the Shaking Beef.

Rickhouse San Francisco
Step into Bourbon & Branch’s smaller, more casual sibling in this swanky saloon for a throwback to the ’50s with punch bowls and classic cocktails. You’ll find whiskeys from Ukiah to Colorado, which you can sip standing at the bar or sitting up on the mezzanine.

Balboa Cafe San Francisco
San Francisco’s quintessential meat market draws banker types and busty broads (read: cougars) in tight frocks. They pack the bar most nights, sipping on classic cocktails and chardonnay whilst checking each other out. Oh, there’s food, too, including a raved-about burger.

City Beer Store San Francisco
Beer aficionados dig this no-frills bar and shop, which stocks small-production and hard-to-find brews from artisanal producers. There are always a few on tap, so belly up to the teensy bar and chat up the owners, who are happy to answer questions.

Waterbar San Francisco
Take in views of the bay as you feast on seasonal live shellfish at this eatery. The wine list has upward of 350 bottles, and the bar’s got the requisite handcrafted cocktails, too. Take a peek at the nineteen-foot aquarium columns and a glass-blown “caviar” chandelier.
