Featured Bars/Clubs


http://www.3300club.com A mellow, laid back watering hole, the 3300 Club touts itself as a true neighborhood bar. On any weekday you can find Slayer, Lynyrd Skynyrd, or Johnny Cash streaming from the jukebox and metalheads and old barflies alike nodding along. This is a no-frills bar where they pour stiff drinks and true margaritas (lime, tequila, and Grand Marnier). Decorated in folk art, the work of a regular, the bar celebrates Americana from eagles and wild deer to Native Americans and Joe Montana. The artist is even permitted from time to time to open the bar. Having contributed most of the artwork around the front room, his masterpieces really reach their potential in the restrooms. In the men's room, positioned above the urinals, there's a coquettish cougar stripping. In the ladies room, however, across from the toilet is a painting of a fence with a peephole and lascivious peering eyeball. More >>
http://www.fivehundredclub.com The 500 Club is a lounge in the old-fashioned meaning of the term: rather than pimping sleek modern furniture and slick modern cocktails, this longtime Mission District standby features retro leather booths, back-to-basics drinks, and classic rock 'n' country on the jukebox. Sadly, the pool table is no more -- they needed the extra space to pack 'em in on weekends. A more favorable and flavorful recent development, however, is the opening of Clare's Deli next door, meaning you can now get delicious sandwiches and hot snacks delivered to your seat in the bar.

http://www.amnesiathebar.com Dark red, hypnotic light helps this tiny bar live up to its name, and its tall stage features everything from '20s-themed nights and garage rock to bebop jazz and experimental electronica. There's no liquor, but intriguing soju cocktails and a well-chosen selection of microbrews are available if your inhibitions need loosening. Whether you're attending a comedy showcase, a literary reading, or a Gypsy dance party, however, make sure to arrive early - Amnesia fills up fast. More >>
http://www.asientosf.com/asiento/Intro.html Asiento is a new lounge in a quieter quadrant of the Mission, located in a large corner building just west of Potrero, well off the beaten path of Mission and Valencia. The focus of Asiento is to give the relaxed neighborhood an equally relaxed locale in which to enjoy a glass of wine, simple cocktail, or bottle of beer, and perhaps share a small plate. Nothing is over the top here - spirit and wine choices are kept to a minimum - but the space itself can easily accommodate a crowd, with or without seating. More >>

http://www.thebeautybar.com/san_francisco/ With its immaculate vintage décor and menu of pricey highballs, this oasis for the hipster elite features a roster of popular weekly DJs spinning everything from thumping electro, indie dance, and discopunk to glam rock and '80s retro. It's more than a little ironic that a place called the Beauty Bar would attract so many shaggy-haired and artificially bedraggled scenesters - but then hipsters do love their irony, don't they? More >>
http://www.bendersbar.com Sure, it burned - but a little fire can't keep rock 'n' roll down forever. With some new paint, a fresh supply of cheap beer, and a restocked jukebox blaring the scrungy S.F. bands of past & present, Bender's has resurrected itself to rock anew. Bands often prop themselves on the elevated corner steps and blast the Pabst out of your hands. The two pool tables are in constant use. And even the new paint job is finally starting to return to its faded former self. More >>
http://www.berettasf.com This popular, noisy place, decorated in spare grays and browns with filigree painted in the corners, feels as much like a bar as a restaurant. The front of the room, with a tall communal table set at the same height as the long bar, often feels like a crowded cocktail party. True to its looks, there's a long list of specialty cocktails, while the menu features an assortment of antipasti, salumi, a few risottos and entrées, and a dozen thin-crust Roman-style pizzas (whatever that means) - the margherita with house-made burrata has become a citywide favorite; less classic is a spicy coppa and salami pie with a chile-spiked tomato sauce. More >>
http://www.bollyhoodcafe.com As one-third of the tripartite "Baobab Village" - the food and entertainment mini-neighborhood that also includes Little Baobab (located next door) and Bissap Baobab (around the corner) - the Bollyhood Cafe hosts a variety of international music events, including tango sessions, flamenco showcases, African dance nights, American jazz bands, and more. Bollywood serves a vegetarian weekend brunch: straightforward salads, seitan sandwiches, and a few signature dishes influenced by Asian preparations - like Korean-style hotcakes with vegetable tempura and black-eyed-pea fritters with peanut-coconut sauce. More >>
http://www.blondiesbar.com With tasteful DJ residencies, sidewalk people-watching, enormous martinis, and the occasional live jazz combo, this Mission District hot spot is a must for people making the scene. More >>
http://www.thebluemacawsf.com Frank Chu is nowhere to be seen at the venue formerly known as 12 Galaxies. This new club in the heart of the Mission has (sadly) no connection to San Francisco's most famous protestor/eccentric, instead focusing on Latin dance nights, hip-hop DJs, fringe rock shows, and other eclectic entertainments. The interior has been slightly upgraded with new lights and furnishings, giving the downstairs a vibe reminiscent of a tropical hotel lobby, while a balcony area rings the main floor for a heightened perspective of the happenings in the club below. More >>
http://www.brickandmortarmusic.com The former Coda Nightclub is back and stirring up a stew of new live music. Brick & Mortar's eclectic calendar presents funk, soul, jazz, rock, hip-hop, classical music, and more in a small, open space located on the nothernmost edge of the Mission District. More >>
http://www.brunossf.com Bruno's mid-century retro decor may be reminiscent of the Rat Pack era, but the bar's nocturnal patrons don't come here to indulge in loungey nostalgia -- they line up to hear DJs spin hip-hop, funk, soul, and reggae while sipping fancy highballs in Bruno's two reddish, heavily wooded rooms. During late mornings and early afternoons on weekends, nascent celebrity chef Ryan Scott serves Brunch Drunk Love, a breakfast-and-booze event that caters to highfalutin foodies and hungover revelers alike. More >>
http://www.casanovasf.com Hipsters and locals pack the worn velvet couches of this charming, dimly lit Mission District dive for pocket-change happy hour specials, cool DJ nights, and a stocked jukebox. The decor accents - like vintage lamps and black velvet paintings - might make you wonder if the owners had raided every thrift shop in the county, while the retro-hip fashions of the regulars only serve to reinforce that idea. Nightly DJs spin everything from indie, Britpop, and punk to Latin boogie, soul oldies, and honky tonk. Unless it's a major holiday, there's never a cover charge. More >>
Beer taps can't talk, but the lager nozzles at Clooney's would surely have some stories to recount. This stalwart Mission District dive has been serving cold beers and inexpensive well drinks to locals for years - it's seen the neighborhood transform, yet Clooney's remains mostly unchanged. Taking a seat on one of the stools surrounding Clooney's circular bar feels like going back to the Mission as it was in middle of the last century. Some of the regulars might even be the same. More >>
Have your Berlitz phrase book handy at this Mission District hot spot, as neither staff nor patrons speak much English. The place is packed almost every night for DJs who spin south-of-the-border club bangers. When Norteña bands play long sets on the weekends, it's like a can of sardines (or should we say "como sardinas en banasta"?). More >>
http://www.myspace.com/186529294 One long hallway of a bar, the low-lit Dalva boasts great sangria and DJs spinning various kinds of hip, cool music. If the tunes get too loud for conversation (which they often do), head to the not-so-secret back room (its "Hideout" status is even mentioned on the sign outside). More >>
http://www.dearmomsf.com The Mission District's trendier half extends itself eastward at Dear Mom, a newly hip hangout in the (now totally unrecognizable) old El Rincon location. There's a pool table and Pabst for those who dutifully maintain their downscale-twentysomething hipster profile, but it's the exposed wood and bare bulbs that give away the bar's fancier adult airs. Dear Mom, can we borrow some money? More >>
