http://www.maveloussf.com Ma'velous has a lot going on. It serves some of the hardest-to-find coffees (prepared six ways, no less), a tight menu of light local fare, a wide variety of wine, and a small selection of bottled beer. The glamorous space attracts a mix of coffee geeks, theater-/museumgoers, or Market Street loners. Wines range from local Sonoma vineyards to French and New Zealand imports. By-the-glass options start at $7 and bottle prices can exceed $40. The food menu changes, but is steered towards complimenting the wine, so expect small cheese plates, olive blends, and nuts. More >>
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mad-Dog-In-The-Fog/111245485569064 British expats flock here for televised "football" games and pints of their favorite ale. Check out the infamous pub quiz on Thursday. More >>
http://www.madroneartbar.com Unless you're dying to catch a show at the Independent, this is the place on Divisadero to go. Everything in here is created by local artists, from the design of the space right down to the menus, while DJs spin everything from hip-hop, funk, and soul to vintage jazz and retro rock 'n' roll.

http://www.maggiemcgarrys.com The term "Irish pub" likely sends images of hokey shamrocks, Guinness logos, and other Kelly-green colored marketing materials through your head. But rest assured, Maggie McGarry's is the real deal rather than riddled with gimmicks. Sure, they have Guinness on tap (along with Sierra Nevada and Widmer), local drunks at the bar, and a bartender with an Irish accent, but it's hardly manufactured. The place also becomes a karaoke bar on Wednesdays and hosts live music on most weekends. Confused by the lack of stage? It's hidden! The second bar area converts into a venue by folding back giant room dividers. More >>
http://www.makeoutroom.com It feels almost like a bingo parlor at the community church. Fortunately, the quirky Midwestern atmosphere of this bar lends itself to the mostly folk and country acts that perform here. Regular DJ nights also expand the soundtrack to include everything from Latin funk and Jamaican ska to New Wave and indie dance hits. More >>
http://www.manorwestsf.com A new upscale nightclub in the space previously occupied by Boss. More >>
http://www.lntsf.com/marina_theatre Need a place to chill in the Marina? The small Marina Lounge fits the bill. There's a full bar, stiff drinks are poured, and the few tables are mostly taken up by regulars. If you can snag the coveted people-watching table up front, do it - it does not disappoint. If you head to the back, you'll find a pool table, Pac-Man machine, and a jukebox stocked with classic rock, blues, and jazz - e.g., Stevie Ray Vaughan, older David Bowie, Frank Sinatra - but no Beyoncé.

A new cocktail spot in the former Lush Lounge space, Mark's Bar is suffused with a rich blue light -- so if you like tropical drinks, but don't want to leave the Polk Gulch neighborhood, this could be your blue heaven. More >>
http://www.marlenasbarsf.com As soon as you see the glass cases that flank the walls, you realize Marlena's is a place that loves it some kitsch: a rotating cast of figurines, which change with the season, is on display in the cases. During the summer, you might think you wandered into a Disney Store. In the fall and close to Halloween, Harry Potter collectibles take over. At Christmas, more than 1,200 Santas fill the bar. When it's time for the Mr. Hayes Valley leather competition, scepters, news clippings, tiaras, and other drag-queen memorabilia gussy up the place. Active in the community with their own softball and pool teams and having hosted Mr. Hayes Valley for 10 years, Marlena's is a straight-friendly neighborhood gay bar, a sass-free, mellow option for the veteran drag queen and down-to-earth Hayes Valley resident alike.

http://www.marrakechsf.com This venerable Moroccan restaurant is exotically decorated, with low banquettes, brass tray tables, and hassocks. The prix-fixe menu includes three starters, a choice of entrée, dessert, and mint tea (a la carte entrées are available for less). The food is well-prepared and sincere. Excellent for large parties. Belly dancing happens nightly to recorded music, and servers join in on tabla. Surprisingly family-friendly. More >>
http://www.marsbarsf.com On weekday afternoons, a young after-work crowd comes to the Mars Bar & Restaurant looking to get drunk and load up on starchy American food. On weekend nights, house music fans come to the Mars Bar looking to hear some casual DJ beats. At all times, however, people come to the Mars Bar for its small back patio, whose vaguely tropical setting is one of the few places to sip a cocktail outdoors in SOMA. And if the food and music aren't your thing, there's also a pool table for a few games of 8 ball. More >>
With at least 10 flat-screen TVs viewable from any seat in the house, Martin Macks accommodates all sports fanatics. Framed Haight-Ashbury Street Fair flyers hang from the wall to remind you where you are. Lit by studio lights, this is a cozy spot to enjoy a game, though it does get loud. The front section houses the main bar, and round, dark-wood tables large enough to seat eight (or possibly more) line the walls leading to the back, where a second, smaller bar and pool table sit. The drinks are standard Belgian, Irish, and Danish brews with domestic favorites such as Big Daddy IPA and Blue Moon. The fare is typical pub grub, but the standout dishes are the wood-fired pesto and potato pizza and the fluffy-topped, creamy shepherd's pie. More >>
http://martunis.ypguides.net This very gay piano bar features pianists ranging from the classically trained to the classically cornball. Its solid reputation as a place to get tipsy and belt out a little Sondheim keeps its walls packed. But don't think that just anyone can step up to the mike - the tone-deaf are weeded out posthaste. On Sunday evenings, local drag celebrities take over the spotlight at 7 p.m. More >>
http://www.massake.com Making plans for the night and you want sushi, but you want cocktails, too? You should head here. The food is a Japanese/Mexican fusion that makes for interesting flavors. The fish is fresh enough, but the kitchen doesn't want anything on the menu that doesn't have a silly name (The Crazy Courtney Roll or You're Hot, I'm Scot, for example) or half a dozen superfluous ingredients. A wide selection of sake is available, naturally, and the sake bombs are good, including an inventive one with cider. On weekends, Mas Sake has a fun, upbeat, club-type atmosphere: the lights are low, the DJ is spinning, the drinks are flowing, and the crowd tends to be a bit more dressed-up. Sometimes spontaneous dancing happens. The wait staff is oh-so-easy on the eyes, but the restrooms are small, so plan accordingly. More >>
http://www.matrixfillmore.com/matrixfillmore/ There's a stark sleekness to the Matrix. The free-standing fireplace (akin to a Jenga tower) gives off a Zen vibe while the cool concrete and decorative chains by the mirror add industrial minimalism. Serpentine seating reserved for bottle-service clientele lines the suede walls. Without reservations, you can take a seat by the fireplace, at the bar, or at any of the rear tables in the mocked-up library. Broken up into time slots, each night offers a different vibe depending on the hour: In lieu of a happy hour, there's the Early Bird with $5 beers and well drinks, and the nightly calendar rotates DJs and genres between Top 40, soul, funk, dance music, and what they call "Party Rock." As far as cocktails go, try the Raspberry Beret, which is made with St. Germain Elderflower, hand-pressed lemons, and fresh raspberries. More >>
If you're looking for some laid-back fun in the Marina, hit up this combination dive/Hawaiian/sports bar with an easygoing regular crowd. While you may be expecting some serious Hawaiian kitsch, you won't find it here, though you will find a jukebox with an odd mix (Journey one moment, a Jay-Z B-side the next), plus games including Big Buck Hunter, Super Shot basketball, a foosball table, and a pool table. The Loa boasts 20 reasonably-priced beers on tap, one of which is Pabst Blue Ribbon, and you can get a good Mai Tai if fruity drinks are what you crave. Cash only! More >>
http://www.maxwellslounge.com A swanky East Bay destination for those who like to dress up while they get down to R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop, courtesy of both live singers and local DJs. More >>
