http://www.storkcluboakland.com The Stork Club is downtown Oakland's best destination for underground punk & metal bands, cheap drinks, and a shockingly large collection of still-packaged Barbie dolls. (Didn't expect that last one, did you?) There are no signs of gentrification trends here: the Stork remains a dive bar and proud of it. More >>
http://www.straitsrestaurants.com You're thinking: "A lounge inside a mall? Cheesy!" Not so with Straits, a Singaporean restaurant located in the posh wing of Westfield San Francisco Centre. Once inside, the warm apricot and chartreuse hues juxtaposing the industrial-chic concrete pull you out of that bad mall lighting. The mall-facing window is dressed up with lavish curtains that circle a more private seating area, dimly lit by paper lamps and embellished with a painting of the Buddha, whose shifty eyes keep tabs on the patrons. The cocktails, some of which are half-priced during the daily happy hour, take cues from Eastern flavors, most notably a whiskey and green tea concoction in which any bite and peat from the whiskey is tempered by the tea's neutral flavor and the caffeine has a sort of Red Bull effect to send you on your merry way for tipsy shopping.

http://www.straybarsf.com What's in a name? At this Bernal drinkery, the word "Stray" combines both "straight" and "gay" - meaning the bar is queer-friendly without being strictly limited to LGBT clientele - while its dog-centric attitude means errant pooches can feel welcome as well. (The red walls are even full of canine-themed art, in case you didn't get the latter part of the equation already.) Friendly servers, fair prices, comfy couches, Ms. Pac Man, and a small pool table tucked into the rear room provide other ways to make you feel right at home. More >>
http://www.studsf.com Although small and cramped when packed, the Stud rules over other gay clubs with some of the best local DJs, innovative club nights, wild drag queen performances, and overall atmosphere. This old SOMA standby eschews the flashy glitz of trendy new nightclubs, instead cultivating a comfortable, almost bordello-like environment with lots of warm wood surfaces and plenty of dark corners in which to canoodle with your latest date.

http://www.sugarcafesf.com Sugar Cafe is a rare breed. Is it a coffee shop, restaurant, bar, club, or laptop workstation? Yes to all the above - sort of. It opens at 6 a.m. and closes at 2 a.m. Before 5 p.m., one can enjoy a beer (many by the bottle, such as Red Stripe or Stella) or imported wines by the glass. After 5 p.m., it clicks into full bar mode and serves cocktails. Food is offered all day and ranges from house-made pastries to truffle fries and pomegranate-glazed lamb. The space features a long bar, ample seating with a few tables and plush modern couches, and a gas fireplace that always seems to be on, no matter what the time or temperature is. The crowd is pretty Academy of Art, as it's located in the middle of so-called dormitory alley. More >>
http://www.sugarloungesf.com As the name suggests, sugar and alcohol go hand in hand here at the Sugar Lounge. Young Hayes Valley locals line the bar as attractive bartenders vivaciously shake martinis and house specialties like the "Bees Knees," which is full of honey and Jameson. Beer is limited to bottles and the selection is conventional (e.g., Sierra Nevada), but the cult following is here to swoon over a happy hour that includes discounted drinks and free snacks like veggie tempura, chicken teriyaki, and chips from 5-7 p.m. weekdays. Other attractive traits: they accept credit cards without a minimum and the space has a cozy, warm vibe thanks to the sparkling candles, plush couches, and dark wood accents. More >>
In somewhat paradoxical twist, the Summer Place is not the sun-dappled waterfront party palace you might expect from the name, but a low-lit cocktail hideaway in the city's urban center. The atmosphere is casual and clean, with a subtly retro vibe (e.g., castered seats with tuck-and-roll upholstery) that recalls the 1970s. A fireplace, some vintage lamps, and strings of colored Christmas lights provide most of the illumination, while a digital jukebox provides a soundtrack that varies as the crowd changes with the hours of the day.

http://www.supperclub.com If you like Burning Man-style costumes and dance performances, but prefer sleek Euro-chic furnishings and frou-frou appetizers to chewing on dusty desert sand, Supperclub is for you. This club features multiple areas: a crimson entry bar (Le Bar Rouge) with numerous disco balls, a side room (La Chambre Noir) with communal sofa beds and stuffed animals, and the main performance space (La Salle Neige) with more sofa beds, a balcony, kitchen, and small combined runway/stage. Resident DJ Michael Anthony fills in the musical gaps on most nights, with famous guest DJs often appearing on weekends. More >>
In terms of both location and personality, Sutter Station is one part Financial District and one part Tenderloin. This Market Street bar's got carpeting, dark wood, and a (fake) fireplace -- so it's certainly not a filthy dive by any means -- but with two pool tables, a jukebox filled chock-a-block with popular compilation CDs, and a homemade sign forbidding fights and gambling, it's not a fancypants lounge for the banking elite, either.

http://www.swedishamericanhall.com Located right upstairs from Cafe Du Nord is its auditoriumlike sister venue, the Swedish American Hall. Music usually ranges from country and folk to indie rock and beyond. More >>
http://www.thesycamoresf.com Most bars with crimson walls and bold, black-and-white-striped cushions encircling the interior aren't this mellow. Sycamore has a jukebox, a patio, and board games to go with that great sangria, an assortment of microbrews, and its menu of burgers and sandwiches. Try the B.L.T. sliders, the lamb burger, or the pork belly doughnuts with maple glaze. More >>
