http://www.pachamamacenter.org Rousing entertainment and high spirits are the (excellent) reasons to visit this intimate world-music nightspot, but the mostly unexciting menu of Andean specialties offers a few delights as well, among them the spicy beef turnovers known as salteñas, shortbread cookies layered with thick caramel (alfajores), and a light, crisp sangria. The venue's owners, the Sukay folk ensemble, perform every Saturday night. More >>
http://www.pandorakaraoke.com Tenderloin/Union Square bar featuring a slick main lounge plus 15 private themed karaoke rooms available for reservation, with songs available in many Asian languages. More >>
http://www.paragonrestaurant.com Few ballpark-centric eateries are as inviting as Paragon, where the atmosphere is warm and friendly, the banquettes are big and comfortable, the bar offers a dozen artisan drafts, and the kitchen serves up American comfort food like braised pot roast, a ginormous Cobb salad, and butter-pecan bread pudding. The dining room is all draped, earth-toned stylishness, and the patio is a delight on balmy afternoons. But the bar is the place to be, especially between April and October, when the duck confit fries and pulled-pork sliders taste terrific with your Juan Collins and the Giants keep the crowds humming.

http://www.parkchalet.com This "garden restaurant" - a sister eatery to the Beach Chalet that's located directly behind its sibling on the Great Highway - serves casual dining fare and its own excellent microbrews in a setting that's custom-made for sunny afternoons. When the weather's warm, it's hard to beat the Park Chalet's green grass backyard and its views of the Dutch windmill in adjacent Golden Gate Park. Live jazz and funk bands often set up on the patio to provide music to accompany your microbrew, although if the sound is too loud - or the ocean breeze too chilly - you can always repair to the equally bright interior seating area, where glass ceilings, a stone fireplace, and open arrangement feel almost as natural as the patio itself.Don't skip dessert, particularly the bread pudding.

http://www.theparlorsf.com With something for everyone, the Parlor can be your sports bar broadcasting a game from any of its five TVs. It can be your dive, with the pool table under dim lights in the middle of the bar. It can be your club with the huge dance floor in a back room. It can even be your concert venue: there's a stage set up for bands and on Thursdays there's live music with no cover. As the night goes on, the cover goes up, so it's a good idea to get in early for free (or e-mail ahead of time for the guest list, which closes by 8 p.m.). Though it bills itself as a club, the decor and the drinks are no frills - Manhattans, classic margaritas, or $7 Patrón shots are the most popular offerings. And because of its casual atmosphere, it makes a good starting place before making the rounds. More >>
Don't be fooled by the gothically arched windows on The Peaks' faux-stone exterior -- there's nothing too stuffy or sanctimonious about this otherwise unfancy little bar. The only things sacred here are the 49ers' Super Bowl victories, while the interior's fake wood paneling, weighty pool table, and American beer paraphernalia guarantee that you can't ever be dressed too casually to drop in for a shot of bourbon and a Bud. The pre-electric cash register behind the bar, however, means you'll need to bring cash, because they don't accept credit cards. More >>
http://www.pedroscantina.com Cavernous, bright, and bustling during baseball season, Pedro's Cantina is the connected sibling of Pete's Tavern in South Beach: the two bars/restaurants share a sprawling ground-floor complex directly across the street from the stadium, so together they're a geographically ideal place to meet before or after the Giants take the field. (The daily 4-7 p.m. happy hour is nixed on game days, however.) If you're grubbing it up, Pedro's food menu sticks to meat-and-cheese basics like tacos, nachos, and quesadillas, with prices in the vicinity of $7-$15. If you're just drinking, the central bar offers eight macrobrew taps, numerous Mexican beers in the bottle, and a full bar featuring a variety of tequila specials. Pedro's is a fairly gringo establishment, so sombreros are not required - but Giants caps are enthusiastically recommended, of course. More >>
http://www.pelicaninn.com Quaint. Adorable. British. These are the first words that come to mind when visiting the Pelican Inn, a cottage-like hotel, restaurant, and pub in small Muir Beach, CA. Diners can choose to sit in the low-ceilinged main room and tuck in to the full menu of traditional English meals, or simply nibble at pub grub in the cozy bar area or trellised back patio. If you're not hungry -- and the weather's nice -- you can also take a heavy pitcher of ale or glass of wine outside, stretch out on the grassy front lawn, and easily imagine you're living an English countryside lifestyle rather than being mere steps from the Pacific Ocean.

http://www.petes881club.com Advertising itself as "the only legal place to gamble in Marin County," this San Rafael card room also offers a full bar, sports broadcasts on numerous TVs, and a pub grub menu served past midnight. More >>
http://www.petestavernsf.com Located across from AT&T Park, this massive sports bar is an easy go-to spot for pre- or post-game libations. Be warned: during baseball season, you may be met with a sea of screaming Giants fans. During the off-season, Pete's plays host to every other sport imaginable, so there's never a lack of team spirit. Huge TVs and multiple big screens hang from every wall, in almost every corner. The decor is rustic, with a horseshoe bar and cathedral ceilings that give off a farmhouse feel. Keeping with this homestead vibe, the tavern offers seasonal specialty drinks such as hot buttered rum with house batter and spicy Irish coffee with fresh cream. More >>
http://www.phoenixirishbar.com The Phoenix's fiery red neon sign (inspired by its name, no doubt) might not scream "Irish pub" to you, but the dark wood interior, Guinness and Harp on draft, and Hibernian menu help clarify this Mission bar's cultural origins. More >>
Hipsterphobes may wish to avoid the Phone Booth, a kitschy li'l Mission dive bar that attracts a young crowd sporting the latest anti-fashions. But if you can overlook the indie posturing, you will be well rewarded by the pool table, a jukebox full of post-punk gems, and bartenders that serve cheap, stiff drinks in a setting that feels like a thrift store with liquor. More >>
http://www.pier23cafe.com Its location on the Embarcadero - smack dab in the midpoint between the Ferry Building to Fisherman's Wharf - makes Pier 23 a draw for tourists seeking refreshment as well as locals who want to catch live music by the bay. Fried oysters, peel-and-eat prawns, cracked crab, and an excellent hamburger are the menu's mainstays, and daily specials might include cioppino, roast pork carnitas, a blackened snapper po' boy, or grilled swordfish with capers. Most evenings and weekends see reggae, funk, jazz, blues, and rock bands set up in the back of the bar for mellow jams and danceable party tunes, while sunny afternoons make the bayside seating seem like a dream.

http://www.pig-and-whistle.com/index.html Outfitted in bric-a-brac, the Pig and Whistle's ornaments embody the cozy character of a traditional pub. Brass trinkets, old spoons, and metalwork are sprinkled around the main room. Down the hallway that leads to the pool table, the walls are adorned with framed vintage maps and found photos. Serving up breaded, battered, and buttered pub grub such as bangers and mash, fish and chips, pasties, and shepherd's pie alongside European lagers and ales, the Pig and Whistle aims to keep you seated for some time with a full stomach. Always a pretty social place, it gets packed on Wednesday and Sunday evenings for the pub quiz. The crowd is predominantly college students, but it's not a rowdy or rude bunch. In the main room, you can tinker around on the jukebox, play trivia, or shoot darts; in the back room, you can play pinball. More >>
http://www.pilsnerinn.com At the busy corner of Church and Market in the Castro sits this casual neighborhood sports bar with simple wood tones, a pool table, pinball, and a garden patio. This is more of a straight-friendly gay bar, reminiscent of a small town bar that supports the community pool, softball, and bowling leagues. Trophies and plaques adorn the walls along with a strong, yet random, puffin theme (if you get the chance, you should query the bartender), as well as a few old-school touches such as a hanging surfboard and classic telephone booth. The urinal is a trough situation, and the women's room requires a key (the bar is boycentric). The patio can accommodate large groups with dark wood benches (with built-in ashtrays) lining the garden and a cornered-off porch for more intimate groups. The patio is well-lit with a transparent canopy, and it never gets smoky even when it's crowded on Friday night. The seating is well-designed so everyone has space, yet it all feels very intimate and social at the same time. A strong rosemary smell, babbling fountains, and Christmas lights help keep the mood calm, juxtaposing the lively but poised position inside, where the '80s hair metal streams from the jukebox.
