http://www.laroccascorner.com The sign outside La Rocca's shouts "This Is It!" -- almost as if they were psychic and knew your final destination was always intended to be this little neighborhood drinkery on the edge of North Beach. Lots of worn old wood and comforting earth tones give La Rocca's interior a lived-in feeling, while the large windows give you a great view on the world as it passes by. Since it's more of a friendly hangout than a fashion-forward hotspot, drinks aren't treated with too much seriousness or pomposity here: your best bet is probably a neat glass of whiskey or cold pint of your favorite classic American beer.

http://www.laszlobar.com Foreign Cinema's little cousin features DJs in a posh setting. Although it stands out like a sore raised pinkie in its coarse Mission Street surroundings, it's a nice change of pace in an area laced with dive bars. Lively locals spin dance music and party jams (though there's no dance floor), and an air of class makes it worthwhile as more than a convenient post-meal move. More >>
http://www.myspace.com/latinamericanclub What you must know: they pour heavy. The margaritas are potent, poured into a pint glass with more than three-fourths real agave tequila. Braving your way through the first sips, you look up at the sign above the entrance that reads "sin" in red, lit-up letters behind chicken wire. The sign outside is a bit misleading: reclaimed found art, it sat in the basement of the Latin American Club owner's house until he opened up shop more than 17 years ago. But there is no salsa, no samba, no rumba, no cha-cha-cha. There are, however, piñatas - plenty of them, buoying overhead like parade floats. Salvaging trashed items, the owner has decorated the bar in the wacky and the tacky thrift-store tchotchkes and junkyard scraps, spattered about like flotsam. Above the till, a plate memorializing a regular, "The Red Man," perches. With his red suit, John Waters mustache, fedora, and crazy-eyed gawk, he seems to watch over the checkered floors. More >>
http://www.lecolonialsf.com Recalling Vietnam during the time of French colonization, the upscale Le Colonial restaurant features a gorgeous, palm tree-lined interior. It's slowly but steadily attracting special events such as the Lotus party (every Saturday night). More >>
http://www.leftyodouls.biz Named for colorful San Francisco Seals baseball manager Francis "Lefty" O'Doul, this historical Union Square hofbrau and watering hole remains an unpretentious place to grab some hearty chow or guzzle some suds while catching a ballgame on TV. The authentic mid-century decor (heavy on nostalgic sports imagery) and counter-service food (heavy on salty meats) make O'Doul's a great spot for anyone who enjoys classic Americana and doesn't require fancy feasts or upscale new digs. In the evenings there's even a piano bar up front, in case you feel like indulging in some kitschy sing-alongs. More >>
http://www.levelthreesf.com This is a lavishly decorated restaurant, with seating ranging from lounge-y sofas to semicircular booths. There's a separate bar area in the soaring atrium entry off the elevators, which is dominated by a huge sculpture of dancing women and a flickering gas fireplace. The multicultural, eclectic menu also tries to be all things for all people. The food ranges from passable to tasty, but service can be rushed, or excruciatingly slow and clueless. More >>
http://www.lexingtonclub.com Cozy lesbian bar tucked into a Mission sidestreet. It's a bar, with lesbians - what more do you need to know? More >>
Granted, the competition is slim, but Li Po is the hippest music venue in Chinatown. The dank little basement (below the divey old bar) hosts fringe punk, funk, electro, and rock for a fashionista set, in an environment that has all the cinematic charms of the shadowy old neighborhood. More >>
There's a veritable produce section worth of fresh fruit (and mint) on the bar used for the cocktails here. There's a spread of cheeses and crackers each weeknight for patrons to help themselves. There's a fireplace in case the mojitos or greyhounds aren't warming enough. Maybe the word is classy. Maybe it's chill. Lion Pub works as a precursor to a rowdy night on the town, or as a nightcap if you live in the area and want to bathe in its red glow before last call. After all, this Pac Heights chestnut and its well-mannered patrons don't keep returning just for the brie. More >>
http://www.littlebaobabsf.com An offshoot of Bissap Baobab, the rollicking Senegalese restaurant right around the corner on mission St., Little Baobab is more of a club than an eatery--well-known for its reggae and afro-pop dance nights. The menu is similar to the larger restaurant's--festive, shareable Senegalese and Pan-African appetizers and entrees, like shrimp marinated in cloves, chilis, and garlic, tropical salads, and lamb in peanut sauce. The cocktails are unique here; try the Flamboyant (hibiscus, lime, and vodka) or the Salaan (a tamarind-based margarita). More >>
A charming bit of San Francisco history, the Little Shamrock is one of the oldest bars in the city -- and, thankfully, it hasn't felt the need to change much since it opened over a century ago. Local old-timers mingle with new neighbors, and sporty youngsters come in from Golden Gate Park (located directly across the street) to sip affordable drinks while surrounded by comfortably worn old furniture and historical decor. You can also play a game of backgammon on the tables in front, shoot darts in the chalk-slathered back room, or simply pull up a stool to the vintage wood bar and catch up on current events. More >>
http://www.lonepalmbar.com Walking through the swinging door at Lone Palm is like stumbling into some colonial desert oasis. White linens cover the tables. Flickering tea lights set the mood. Wood mermaids and palm tree plaques add just the right amount of kitsch. A lone bartender methodically pours and mixes drinks, while patrons sip cocktails and munch on proffered peanuts and Goldfish. How crowded the place will be is anyone's guess, so if it's quiet, settle in for intimate conversation; if it's busy, get ready for hobnobbin' and fun. Happy hour is seven nights a week from 4-6 p.m., with a dollar off all liquor, $3 bottled beer, and an extra discount on house's choice of higher-end liquor like flavored Stoli or Ketel One. More >>
http://www.lonestarsf.com The Lone Star Saloon is a small gay South of Market hangout that claims status as the "world's first bear bar," open since 1989. Look for the large, friendly bear cutout -- waving to you from the Harrison Street sidewalk -- and you're there. More >>
http://www.lookoutsf.com The elevated location, long windows, and outdoor balcony give this Castro bar its name, where queers nosh on pizza and dance to DJed music while keeping an eye open for people to meet. More >>
