Artisan cocktails, lodge-like interior, pool table, Buck Hunter. What more could you ask for? Read more.
Bar in the basement is the oiginal Chronicle printing press room. Sip cocktails nestled among 100 year newspapers where Hearst made his fortune. So money.
Great coffee and embodies every San Francisco/dot com stereotype. Apple fan boys galore!
Go to Nopa. All the cocktails are amazing, but the Blue Bottle Martini is to die for. Also, best pork chop in the city. Menu is always changing!
Gigantic record store with a shocking number of used records, normally at a decent price. A record collector's first stop. And don't forget to ask for the rare singles behind the counter! Read more.
The cumin lamb belly? Fiery and addictive. Warm egg custard with duck confit and sea urchin? Brilliant. Hot-and-sour pork dumplings made to order? Further proof that MCF is no accident.
great stop late late after a night out at bourbon&branch and before a night in at clift. keep it basic and go with the chashu.
If you’re going for the first time, go for pho. (I like the #17 five spice chicken.) Cash-only, but $10 is all you need for a delicious, spicy bowl of noodle soup. Perfect for a quick bite on the go.
I love this place. The coffee, the toast, the subway tiles, the pretty, disaffected waitstaff, the sea of twee. I would nap here if they would let me.
Working in a variety of styles, this spot is really about the BBQ. In particular, the pulled pork is perfection, and ribs slide off the bone with charred ends. Read more.
People with reservations get a different menu than those who pull up a seat at the bar... So plan ahead (the extended menu is awesome).
Bar inside a bar. Go through Dalva (bar) and past the bathrooms to get here. Best cocktails I've had in the city. Gets busy late at night and on weekends. Get here on the earlier side for quiet.
Fantastic date spot with an amazing cocktail menu that's always changing. The food is delicious & if you're not there for a date, you can enjoy the lovely sights. You know what I'm talking about.
This Mission restaurant serves New American fare with a nod to molecular gastronomy. It holds tight to the belief that cooking food at lower temperatures can make food perfect. Here, it does. Read more.
The creative crudo spins, addictive clam chowder and airy atmosphere are always enlivening. [Eater 38 Member]
If the main room is too crowded/loud/pretentious, head down the stairs and make a u-turn to the left to find the tasting room devoted to sours. Much quieter, and you can still get food!
Majorly hyped and almost lives up to it. The menu is fairly original and the service is warm, though buckling under the strain of the Place's popularity. Definitely hipster - I counted three man-buns.
Literally the best eets on Earth. I'd stand their Tea Leaf salad up against a kobe-beef steak any day of the week. Carry-out to avoid the 100 hour wait in the cold.
Nice little wine bar with about a dozen selections by the glass and a hundred by the bottle.
