Bliss Bar

Bliss Bar

This sleek, red leather-dominated bar offers a smooth 1970s feel, complete with hidden nooks and fireplaces, plus a sweet drink menu — emphasis on sweet. This Bliss is not pure euphoria, but it'll make you happy enough.
Place Pigalle

Place Pigalle

This dive gives those in Hayes Valley who'd rather not drop rent on a bar tab a place to go. Locals love the pool table and the foosball table, and after looking around at the well-worn couches, one may wonder, "Wait, am I in a frat house?"
The Final Final

The Final Final

Its walls covered by 49ers and Giants memorabilia, the Final Final is a solid place to kick back and watch sports in the Marina, with a crowd of regulars, sports enthusiasts, and whoever else shows up to enjoy the pool table, dartboard, and free popcorn.

    Bigfoot Lodge

    1750 Polk San Francisco, CA 94109
    415-440-2355

    http://www.bigfootlodgesf.com Smaller than its sibling bar in Los Angeles, the cozy Bigfoot Lodge on Polk Street features full-on wood paneling and a giant carved statue of the legendary sasquatch from which it derives its name. Taxidermied raccoons, miniature trees, Smokey the Bear, owls, and other forest denizens also share the space with the "Bucks" and "Does" who - at least according to the gender designations on the bathroom doors - drink here. Whether they pull up a stool along the bar or retire to the (fake) fireplace area in back, this is the closest most Russian Hill residents will probably get to being lumberjacks. More >>

  • Billiard Palacade

    Billiard Palacade

    5179 Mission San Francisco, CA 94112
    415-585-2331

    Even though signs of decay have taken some of the old shine away, Billiard Palacade's soaring vault ceiling hints that this humble pool hall - serving the Outer Mission, Crocker Amazon, and Excelsior neighborhoods - was once a local entertainment mecca. Regardless of age, however, it remains a great place for locals to shoot some billar and quaff a cold bottled cerveza while Latin standards, new-school reggaetón, and old Santana hits blare from the corner jukebox. Tables are usually easy to come by during daytime hours, while weekends and evenings mean more crowds, so schedule accordingly. More >>

  • Bimbo

    Bimbo's 365 Club

    1025 Columbus San Francisco, CA 94133
    415-474-0365

    http://www.bimbos365club.com Great sound, classy lighting, and staffers dressed like The Love Boat's Capt. Stubing come together to make this one of the city's finer concert halls. Bimbo's 365 Club is a shrine of mid-20th Century luxury, complete with multiple ornate bars and nudie oil paintings that would be the pride of any erstwhile Rat Pack member. The music programming ranges from international jazz to indie rock, plus the occasional retro dance band to confirm that Bimbo's is the perfect place for anyone who wants to know what it was like to party in the past.

  • Bin 38

    Bin 38

    3232 Scott San Francisco, CA 94123
    415-567-3838

    http://www.bin38.com A wine bar that also features a solid beer list and full food menu, Bin 38 is a good place to bring a date or just catch up with friends. There's plenty of outdoor seating for warm evenings, including a back patio with a fire pit. The background music, played at a volume that still allows for conversation, is a mix of songs you know by heart. Happy hour runs from 5-7 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, with $6 glasses of wine, $4 craft beers, and 40% off wine bottles to go; on Tuesdays, take 40% off all bottles served in house from open to close.

  • Bird & Beckett

    Bird & Beckett

    653 Chenery San Francisco, CA 94131
    415-586-3733

    http://www.birdbeckett.com With a quaint performance space and lots of good reading lining the shelves -- especially if you love anything bohemian, beatnik, or bebop -- Bird & Beckett augments its calendar of literary happenings with jazz combos and acoustic music of a wide variety. Sunny outdoor seating and a relaxed atmosphere make it a cozy end point for a Sunday drive. More >>

  • Biscuits and Blues

    Biscuits and Blues

    401 Mason San Francisco, CA 94102
    415-292-2583

    http://www.biscuitsandblues.com This nationally renowned club in the heart of the theater district offers top-drawer electric blues for the business set seven nights a week. Its posh digs don't reference the seedy jook joints of the genre's history, but the food and drinks are reasonably priced and there isn't a bad seat in the house. More >>

  • Bissap Diaspora

    3372 19th St. San Francisco, CA 94110
    415-970-0362

    http://www.bollyhoodcafe.com As one-third of the tripartite "Baobab Village" - the food and entertainment mini-neighborhood that also includes Little Baobab (located next door) and Bissap Baobab (around the corner) - the Bollyhood Cafe hosts a variety of international music events, including tango sessions, flamenco showcases, African dance nights, American jazz bands, and more. Bollywood serves a vegetarian weekend brunch: straightforward salads, seitan sandwiches, and a few signature dishes influenced by Asian preparations - like Korean-style hotcakes with vegetable tempura and black-eyed-pea fritters with peanut-coconut sauce.

  • The Bitter End

    The Bitter End

    441 Clement San Francisco, CA 94118
    415-221-9538

    http://www.travelnotes.org/BitterEnd/ All the trappings of a choice hole-in-the-wall in the 'hood: A jukebox that plays classic rock exclusively; some pool tables and dart boards and sports on the TVs; a dozen beers on draft ranging from mainstream British imports to mainstream craft beers and another dozen bottles most of the light variety; a full bar with mostly whiskeys and precious few pricy brands marketed by hip-hop moguls; and the only food worth ordering is the thick cut "chips" with malt vinegar to sop 'em up. The bar is spacious, and it's quiet enough that you can have a conversation with your friends without having to shout. More >>

  • Blackbird

    Blackbird

    2124 Market San Francisco, CA 94114
    415-503-0630

    http://www.blackbirdbar.com It's easy to be hip at Blackbird. The indie rock is never too loud and the seasonally rotating cocktail menu can satisfy even the most obnoxious booze snob. With an extensive list of beers, a photo booth, and non-cheesy leather seats, you'd expect this bar to attract a pretentious set, but its Castro location keeps it mellow. Bar-goers from all points on the sexual spectrum down concoctions like the Blackbird Negroni - Blue Coat gin, Apersol, and Lillet Rouge - or a classic Pimm's Cup - Pimm's, Gin, cucumber, fresh strawberry, and ginger ale. The sass-free bartenders will briefly answer your questions about what goes in them. The joint is cash only to keep the service moving fast, but even the most decadent, wood-barrel aged cocktails will only set you back $10. For those who dare request swill in the face of a well-crafted menu, PBR and Tecate are on the menu, and since the staff is friendly, people will only silently judge you. More >>

  • Blackthorn Tavern

    Blackthorn Tavern

    834 Irving San Francisco, CA 94122
    415-564-6627

    http://www.blackthornsf.com If your idea of the rainbow's end is tipping back 20 ounces of Guinness and pining for the Irish shores, the Blackthorn Tavern is a dream come true. Its wide selection of treats on tap, along with performances by Celtic folk-rockers and cover bands, make it an emerald gem in the heart of the Sunset. More >>

  • Blarney Stone Bar & Restaurant

    Blarney Stone Bar & Restaurant

    5625 Geary San Francisco, CA 94121
    415-386-9914

    The Blarney Stone's friendly, relaxed atmosphere and sporty enthusiasm make it a favorite of Outer Richmond locals. The Irish pub's roomy interior features four 42-inch screens and one 10-foot projector screen showing a variety of sports, with other entertainment options including a digital jukebox, pool table, darts, and air hockey. Creative drink specials run fairly frequently: on cold nights be sure to catch a hot toddy or Irish coffee, or try the "Kentucky Golden Shower" - a doe's framed rump that pours whiskey - while happy hour (2-7 p.m. weekdays) offers discounts on draft beers, wine, or fresh-squeezed well drinks. Don't be surprised if the bartender shakes your hand and wishes you well on the way out - the Blarney Stone is that kind of place. More >>

  • Bliss Bar

    Bliss Bar

    4026 24th St. San Francisco, CA 94114
    415-826-6200

    http://www.blissbarsf.com The underrated Bliss Bar has $6 Mojito pints every weekday from 4-7 p.m. Beyond that, you probably don't need to know much more. But to further entice you, this sleek, red leather-dominated bar offers a smooth 1970s feel, complete with hidden nooks and fireplaces, with a sweet drink menu -- emphasis on sweet -- full of specialty cocktails like Moscow Mules or elderflower/champagne concoctions. On some nights the DJ spins '70s and '80s soul soundtracks, adding to a relaxed vibe. On Friday and Saturday, the bar is packed with Mission castoffs hoping to flirt and occasionally dance to old school hip-hop grooves. This Bliss is not pure euphoria, but it'll make you happy enough.

  • Blondie

    Blondie's Bar & No Grill

    540 Valencia San Francisco, CA 94110
    415-864-2419

    http://www.blondiesbar.com With tasteful DJ residencies, sidewalk people-watching, enormous martinis, and the occasional live jazz combo, this Mission District hot spot is a must for people making the scene. More >>

  • Bloodhound

    Bloodhound

    1145 Folsom San Francisco, CA 94103
    415-863-2840

    http://www.bloodhoundsf.com Deep in SOMA, Bloodhound mixes up specialty cocktails that are to die for. The hunter's lodge-themed bar is not safe for PETA members: decor includes mounted animal skulls and an antler chandelier. Try the bar's namesake cocktail, which combines Campari, grapefruit juice, and Hangar 1 vodka, or order the house specialty, bacon-infused bourbon. Head to the back for a game of pool, pour your money into the jukebox, or a take shot at the Buck Hunter arcade game. Disclaimer: Aim can sometimes be impaired from alcohol consumption. More >>

  • Blooms Saloon

    Blooms Saloon

    1318 18th St. San Francisco, CA 94107
    415-861-9467

    http://www.bloomssaloon.com This no-frills, faux-wood-decorated Potrero Hill bar looks like most prototypical neighborhood joints, but if you like your beer cold, your bartenders sassy, and sports on TV, then this is the place for you. Mostly filled with locals and blue-collar workers - it's not the hippest crowd, but it's certainly a friendly one - Blooms never gets too busy. And it does have a hidden gem: the outdoor patio boasts some of the best views in S.F., although there's no telling when that sassy bartender will open it up for use. More >>

  • Blowfish Sushi To Die For

    335 Santana Row San Jose, CA 95128-2098
    408-345-3848

    http://www.blowfishsushi.com Whimsical fusion sushi meets San Jose hipsterhood in this polished-slate, deep-red enclave: Blowfish Sushi to Die For. Cool cocktails, throbbing electronica, and erotic anime are the backdrop for an evening of Fiesta Rolls (tuna, avocado, cilantro, and salsa), Smoked Delight (lox, tomato, basil, and Parmesan), and Maui Maki (tuna, mango, and macadamia nuts), all of them served in geometric juxtapositions not encountered since the demise of the Flying Saucer. The dry, taste-free Quack Circus appetizer (duck breast, mushrooms, and pistachios) is best avoided, but get the weird and wonderful green tea cheesecake for dessert. More >>

    The Blue Macaw

    2565 Mission San Francisco, CA 94110
    415-920-0577

    http://www.thebluemacawsf.com Frank Chu is nowhere to be seen at the venue formerly known as 12 Galaxies. This new club in the heart of the Mission has (sadly) no connection to San Francisco's most famous protestor/eccentric, instead focusing on Latin dance nights, hip-hop DJs, fringe rock shows, and other eclectic entertainments. The interior has been slightly upgraded with new lights and furnishings, giving the downstairs a vibe reminiscent of a tropical hotel lobby, while a balcony area rings the main floor for a heightened perspective of the happenings in the club below.

  • Blur

    Blur

    1121 Polk San Francisco, CA 94109
    415-567-1918

    http://www.blursf.com Options on Polk in the Tenderloin are plentiful, so how to choose where to start? Try two-for-one on all drinks during happy hour (4-6 p.m.). This comfy, chill space presents your choices of liquid therapy on a crafty back-bar that looks like the work of an over-caffeinated carpenter. Among the built-in nooks are a few infusion jars which might hold tequila + strawberry or perhaps vodka + cucumbers. Blur makes good use of a small room - made all the smaller when the joint is hopping - that feels removed from the crowd shuffling from Hemlock Tavern toward Napoli Pizza, with some Polk Street transvestites thrown in for good measure.

  • Blush! Wine Bar

    Blush! Wine Bar

    476 Castro San Francisco, CA 94114
    415-558-0893

    http://www.blushwinebar.com Across from the Castro Theatre, Blush! is a cozy pre-movie place to grab a drink. With jazz nights on Thursdays and subtle background music other nights, this bar is a low-key Castro option. A plush couch propped against the burgundy, art-adorned wall offers a cozy seat for intimate groups, while a long, wooden table towards the back accommodates a larger group of ten. Featuring a comprehensive list of nearly 100 wines stored in proper wooden racks, Blush! serves the amateur and oenophile alike, where $70-$80 can fetch you a bottle of a crisp and fruity white or an earthy six-year-old Bordeaux, or $6 can get a more temperate-flavored but generous pour. The food portion of the menu boasts rich and rustic European small plates, cheese and savory charcuterie platters, and nibbles such as Kalamata olives and tapenade. More >>

  • The Boardroom

    The Boardroom

    1609 Powell San Francisco, CA 94133
    415-982-8898

    http://www.woodyzips.com Putting the beach back in North Beach, there's a laid-back surfer vibe here, with boards all over the room (get it?) and wave photos aplenty on the walls. The Boardroom offers cheap drinks with a beer and booze selection that's varied enough to have something for everyone, yet not so comprehensive as to be pretentious. There are lots of pub grub options, many including bacon, such as bacon-wrapped tots. This mellow neighborhood sports bar is just what the neighbors in usually frenzied North Beach ordered. More >>
