The Bay boasts an enticing bar scene with award-winning cocktail programs, often starring locally made spirits and seasonal ingredients from the area’s renowned farmers markets.
In the Tenderloin, a velvet-clad spot dazzles with live jazz. A Mexican-accented bar in Oakland draws crowds for smokey tequila-forward drinks and killer quesabirria tacos. At these standout spots, you can sip on espresso martinis, natural wines, or pints of craft beer and cider. Read on for a guide to 9 of the most prized bars in San Francisco—plus a couple of honorable mentions across the Bay.
