Good ol’ Vesuvio. Classic North Beach bar. Sit upstairs for good people watching!
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. No matter how many tourists drop in for a pint, it still feels as though it's full of locals. We recommend an Anchor Steam.
sit upstairs in the corner and see the bright bright lights of Broadway.
Everything you want in a beer bar. Tons of excellent brews on tap, more in bottles, unpretentious environs. Big winner.
have a beer & a sausage!!!
Do not ask for PBR or Bud. Know what you want before you order. -Josh K.
This is lush! Great public ) Cool bar staff, generally nice crowd. The terrace is a gem in SF to be outside with a drink & smokes. It's rare. & the crowd is really cool & friendly )
Huge back patio. Perfect place to take a large group of people. Great place to hang out on a nice day and sit outside. -Laurine Wickett, Top Chef
Now there's a reason to love Mondays: $1 Pabst and $2 well drinks, all day long. Read more.
Damn good venue, intimate, cozy, with room to grab a shot and a beer. Make sure you try their tots
America's darkest ladies room. Seriously, there could be a dude sleeping behind the toilet. You'd never know.
Tots, stop playing with your iPhone and get some damned tots.
Probably the bar I have been to the most in SF. Pool tables, great beer selection (good value - served in imperial pint glasses), and a popup kitchen for dinner (get the burger + mac and cheese!).
Try the alcohol.
SF's best not-gross gross looking dive toilet. Go here for a poop.
We love this place. Good food. Great patio with awesome view of the Bay. We've had many Laughing Squid Drinkups here over the years.
Come here early in the morning and spend the whole day. They have sunlight early in the morning until the very end of your awaken hours.
When its not full of SFGiants fans, this is a great place to hang on the water, and people watch. Also, the french frys are to die for!
I have many memories in this place. Everything is great all around (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
You know it's good when you read a tip from yourself you don't remember leaving.
Used to be blue collar local bar but transformed itself into the hot place to suck face over a game of billiards or foosball. -Ryan B.
Pretty cool bar with 9% beer. Don't miss the possibly unique scale ATM in America.
Totally hip place with an upstairs. A good after work hangout. -Tim Nugent, Top Chef Just Desserts
Cash only. That is silly
My favorite hole in the wall <3 The only spot for whiskey after work!
Scuzzy bar full of smoke yet has a charm as strong as the drinks.
Keep your eye open for Panda sightings!
Can't say anything bad about this place. Beer is cheap and you look around and nobody is writing code on a laptop. Approved.
five dollar Jim beam + beer.
Politely sidle into any of the 16 seats and be reminded of the simplicity of a great drink.
As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain.
The bartenders are the friendliest. A bar with no tv's is refreshing, just jazz and good conversations.
Beautiful dive, great back room with pool table!
When they're not visualizing the Twitterverse for MTV and Nike, the staff of Stamen (a 2011 Most Innovative Company) heads to this bar, which is known for its comfy couches.
Great (and cheap) beer, a jukebox, and couches! What can possibly go wrong? Oh yeah, everybody else loves this place too! Make sure you arrive early or you may not be able to get a couch.
Best bar on the street by far.
Friendly bartenders, strong drinks, local but welcoming patrons. $$CASH$$ ONLY
The classiest sleeper bar in San Francisco. It's got the friendliest bartenders and best cocktails in The City. Just don't try to pay with plastic, you will be mocked--likely by me.
Check out the live DJs from BFF.fm on Thursdays!
They had us at "$2 tall boys of Budweiser", but when we found out that we get a plate of bacon with our Bud on Mondays and that pitchers of PBR are only $6, the deal was sealed.
FREE BACON MONDAY and 5$ PITCHER OF PABST TUESDAY
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
