Monkey Mensch: Any day of the week, stop by for a Beef Jerky bloody Mary and some Seitan Hells Fish
SFist: For the meat-inclined, the Bloody Mary at Bender's has you covered. In addition to the wonderful pickled green beans and various dressings, the bartenders plop a stick of beef jerky in the drink. Read more.
Hernan Jaramillo: Say yes to the music played here but most important go for a bloody mary and be surprised w/ the beef jerky thrown in.... now beat that

The Feast: The classics are outstanding, but adventurous types will enjoy the more unusual, less mainstream Thai plates like house-made beef jerky, spicy alligator, and garlic frog. Read more.
Crystal Williams: Probably the best Thai in SF and open late! The pork shoulder salad, house-made beef jerky, and green beans with pork are some of our favs.

SFist: This spots got top-notch cocktails from the Bon Vivants team, with a wickedly interesting menu that changes every six months, as well as some terrific food. Try the Kale Salad and Scotch Egg! Read more.

Sarah Harrison: The seared scallops are amazing. Little delicious roe eggs explode in your mouth, all on a delicious fresh flavor sauce of oranges and squash maybe, a hint of spice, flavor explosion! So fresh.
megan: If 'Cheers' had been set in SF, this would have been the bar. Classic local's spot w/ better-than-you'd-expect food. Opt for a whole bottle and just try not to order the fries, I dare you.
Shirley Liu: Cute wine bar -- get the sliders and fries with truffle aoili to share

Bowling Alley · Mission District · 137 tips and reviews
Adrian Barker: Come here for the Mission Burger and stay for bowling. No, seriously. The burger and fries are possibly the best in the city. This place is my go-to for burgers and vodka martinis.
Eater: It's not all bowling and Mission burgers at Mission Bowling Club. The bar up front means serious business with nine beers on tap, perfect Manhattans and the TBD with mezcal and jalapeno jam.
Eater: Lucky Peach Managing Editor Rachel Khong: "Reasons why this burger is the best: the patty is granulated, the buns have their tops cut off to perfect bun-to-ratio size."
