http://www.familybilliards-sf.com In the spectrum of pool hall possibilities, Family Billiards is neither a luxury emporium nor a low-down hangout, but it duly provides 18 well-maintained tables in an environment that favors base functionality over fanciness or style. The warehouse-like space gives you what you need (e.g., clean playing surfaces, crisp lighting, cold beer) and, well, that's about it. But the prices are certainly right: the 4-7 p.m. daily happy hour offers all drafts (including Guinness and Stella Artois) for a mere $2.50, and ladies play free with paying partner on Sunday afternoons. For nocturnal gaming, Family stays open until 2 a.m. every night - and all the way until 4 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays - if you think you can handle the crowds of kids kickin' it to Top 40 jams on the digital jukebox.

http://www.farmerbrownsf.com Casually elegant Tenderloin venue serves up cajun and creole nouvelle soul cuisine: fried catfish, candied yams, and other classics prepared with locally raised organic ingredients and a lighter new-millennium touch. The Farmerbrown menu might feature lighter-than-air angel biscuits, crisply fried chicken with Tillamook-draped mac 'n' cheese, and spicy, crunchy shrimp on a bed of stone-ground grits. Striking hammered-metal-and-timber setting. More >>
http://www.fatangelsf.com Fat Angel is a great find for a before or after drink if you're going to the Fillmore or Yoshi's. This small space a half-block off the main strip manages to pack an impressive beer and wine menu (including six beers and three wines on draft) into a space that is intimate without being cramped. The owners are usually on hand to assist with the beverage and food menus, the latter of which consists of small plates including charcuterie and artisanal butters (yes, apparently we now have artisanal butters now) made with savory bacon and sweet cinnamon.

http://www.fiddlersgreenpub.net This bilevel Irish watering hole with a cottage-like exterior is a cute pit stop on the stroll between Fisherman's Wharf and North Beach. Upon entering the closet-sized, low-ceilinged bar on the ground floor, you may think you've seen the whole pub, but head to the rear and you'll find stairs to a larger second floor where DJs spin on weekends and a backup bar slings pints to a mixed crowd of tourists and locals. During daytime meal hours, the kitchen offers traditional Irish corned beef and cabbage. More >>
http://www.thefillmore.com It's legendary and one of the best venues anywhere: great sightlines, killer sound system, and - most importantly - a continuous parade of top musical talent gracing the stage. Whether it's country legends, indie iconoclasts, crossover punks, or rhyme-slinging hip-hop crews, this venerable S.F. institution has got it. If you're bored between acts, scope the photo gallery that lines every hallway wall with pictures of the icons who've shared the same space in which you're currently standing. More >>
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 made up of regulars, sports enthusiasts, and whoever else happens to show up to enjoy the pool table, dartboard, and free popcorn. A full bar, plenty of beers on tap (including Guinness), and food (including Papa Murphy's pizza and standout wings) help make it a place with something for everyone. More >>
http://www.finneganswakesf.com A hangout for Cole Valley's post-hipster denizens, Finnegans Wake is everything a neighborhood bar should be: friendly, no frills, and relaxed, with a dive-ish vibe for those who are so over irony. Seeming impossibly larger on the inside than how small it appears from the sidewalk, the bar is a dark, chill locals spot, perfect on a brisk night for cozying up in a dimly lit corner, or for those halcyon summer evenings when you want to make use of the back patio. For max-relaxing, rendezvous on that patio for free BBQ, or bring your own takeout from French bistro Zazie next door. And if the chill backyard's not enough, ping-pong, billiards, darts, and pinball should sate the gamers in your crew; dodgeball and pool leagues are open for the more athletic patrons. More >>
Decked out in bric-a-brac and reminiscent of a locals-only beach town dive, the Fishbowl is true to its community, sponsoring neighborhood dodgeball and softball teams (and boasting its winners' trophies on display), as well as supporting local artists by exhibiting their work for sale. On Sundays, the owner gets on the grill and serves up free BBQ. They also serve comfort grub everyday: the tater tots are "dusted with board spice" and the chicken tenders are battered thick. And what better way to wash down community-friendly food than to drink out of a community bowl? Their version of a Scorpion Bowl, the Fishbowl, is big enough for four - or one, you lush. More >>
http://www.fizzees.com A cursory initial glance might tell you there's little to distinguish Fizzee's from any other sports bar: there's a string of local boys bellied up to the beer taps, the games are on TV, two pool tables crouch in the back, and some pinball machines lurk around the corner, beeping and clacking in a vain attempt to be heard over the Eminem on the jukebox - but then you notice the large dune buggy that clings to the wall behind the bar. ("How'd they get that beast in here?," you'll wonder while ordering a heavily-poured drink from the gregarious bartender.) If it's a sunny afternoon, an orange glow suffuses the room as daylight spills through the large windows; at night, the boozy crowd watches passersby on Geary through the same glass while downing pitchers of brew. So, yes, Fizzee's is "just" a sports bar - but its friendly effervescence may be just what you need when seeking a cold pint. More >>
http://www.fluidsf.com Computer-controlled lighting creates a wavy atmosphere for weekend (and sometimes weekday) DJs to drop funky house, slippery hip-hop, and other slick and trendy music at this glitzy twentysomething hub. More >>
http://www.flybarandrestaurant.com Inexpensive nouveau bar food at this fun hangout includes a great "espinaca caliente" salad starring warm spinach, bacon, roast potatoes, and feta, and several varieties of pizza (the Funky Chicken features barbecue sauce in place of tomato). There's a wide variety of beers, sangria, and a menu of sake cocktails - the Sake 5-0 consists of sake, pineapple juice, and soy milk. More >>
http://www.flybarandrestaurant.com Formerly known as Brick, this Tendernob food and drink venue recently changed its name to Fly Bar and Restaurant in order to be more like its sibling location on Divisadero. The menu includes finger-food appetizers, personal pizzas, and sandwiches. More >>
http://www.thefoxoakland.com After lying dormant for many (too many) years, this grand old movie palace has finally reopened after massive renovation and rejuvenation efforts, thus making one of downtown Oakland's architectural crown jewels into one of the most glamorous places to see a concert in the East Bay. They almost paved this place over and put up a parking lot — but thankfully Paradise won for once. More >>
If you want to know just how inviting this quiet and comfy local watering hole really is, consider this: Friends actually posts a sign to remind people that it's a bar -- and you're supposed to be there to buy drinks, not just loll around on the ultra-soft sofas like it's your own abode. Friends personifies the laid-back neighborhood bar concept, feeling more like a game room (complete with pool table and jukebox) in an extended relative's basement than someplace you'd go to get rowdy. Even the drink prices are friendly. More >>
http://www.thefrontporchsf.com The dish at Bernal Height's the Front Porch is called Miss Ollie's chicken, and blends Caribbean and Southern influences. The fowl is brined with citrus juices, then rubbed with an herb-and-spice mix (including habanero and parsley) and then a bath of soy-sparked beaten egg before the pieces are dipped in bread crumbs and fried, with a quick finish in the oven. Depending on the season and how the chef feels that day, sides might include black-eyed peas and collard greens flavored with pork belly. More >>
http://www.fuelsf.com The former Etiquette nightclub space is now Fuel, which touts itself as a "cabaret VIP lounge" with live burlesque dancers during DJ performances. More >>
Set among the pricey, crowded bars of Broadway, Fuse is a low-key lounge with a good vibe and excellent taste in DJs. More >>
