Featured Bars/Clubs


http://www.myspace.com/revcafe2006 The walls of this breezy Mission District cafe display a continuously changing exhibition of local visual art, and Papa Toby's diverse music calendar follows suit. The small room -- plus an always popular sidewalk seating area -- offers free live jazz, creative folk, chamber music, and other sonic treats. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
http://www.ritespotcafe.net Folk and jazz dominate the Spot's ever-improving ambience, whose sense of style lies somewhere between a dive bar and a dinner club: casual cocktails and comfort grub (e.g., burgers, pasta, sandwiches) fill the menu, while local art and tablecloths add a sense of class for those who like it nice. A perfect place to see live music and sit comfortably while noshing on a plate of your favorite carbohydrates. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
http://www.roccapulco.com Salsa dancing is the featured attraction at this gigantic Mission District supper club, which loves nothing more than a great party (including annual extravaganzas for Mardi Gras and Carnaval). Weekend events are usually $10-$15, with special international band performances costing extra. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Rock-Bar/184721011635343 Formerly the International Club, this Mission/Bernal bar has changed hands and is now being run by the people behind Front Porch, who swapped its international passport for a more down-home Americana attitude and a yuppie-rustic decor scheme.

http://www.royalcuckoo.com This former Mission dive (Belinda's, we hardly knew ye) has taken a sudden turn for the hip. New owners transformed the tiny space into a den of droll anachronistic culture, where vintage lamps cast a subtle glow over a collection of thrift-shop paintings, taxidermy animal heads, and half-quaint/half-quirky retro tchotchkes. You might find a local musician warming the keys of the electric organ in the corner, or perhaps a solo bluesman blowing on his harp, but otherwise the soundtrack comes via a dusty old record player: simply flip through the repurposed library card catalog to find the title of your favorite LP of folksy Americana, classic jazz, trad Latin, tropical exotica, or "Novelty and Beyond," then tell the bartender to slap that platter on the turntable. The most modern thing in the Royal Cuckoo is its signature drink menu - artisanal cocktails being very trendy and "now," of course - so despite the hipster clientele, don't come here looking for the latest high-tech fad. The Royal Cuckoo is the rotary telephone of San Francisco bars. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
http://www.savannajazz.com Savanna stands out in its neighborhood: it's almost as if a North Beach jazz club dropped a spore on Mission Street. Intimate and comfortable, with accents of fake plastic plants, Savanna presents live jazz most nights of the week, along with dinner and drinks at a reasonable price.

http://www.shotwellsbar.com Established in 1891 - though it's gone through numerous permutations since then - this neighborhood bar offers a relaxing atmosphere to get your beer on. Whether you lean toward imports or craft beers, and whether you prefer draft or bottled beer, you'll find the gamut from cheapo pints of Anchor to break-the-bank numbers from rare, remote breweries. There's also some wine, cider, and soft drinks for the hop haters. Make yourself at home among the friendliest subset of the typical Mission crowd, who will be happy to play you a game of 8-ball on the beater billiard table or change the channel to your favorite sporting or even non-sporting event.

http://www.skylarkbar.com A dandy DJ bar with grand, high ceilings - which must have looked even grander when smokers reigned supreme in our nightlife - though nowadays the cigarette smokers lounge around on the 16th Street sidewalk while the sound of DJs spinning hip-hop, funk, and reggae emanates from within. Bonus for broke music and cocktail fans: There's never a cover charge. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
http://www.slate-sf.com Som Bar has rebranded itself as Slate, but the mod-minimalist decor and funky DJs remain. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
http://www.sofasf.com If you're looking for Sofa but can't seem to find it from the street, that's because this small cocktail watering hole and posh DJ mini-lounge is a bit sneaky -- it's semi-hidden in the basement of SOMA Brazilian restaurant Bossa Nova.

http://www.southendsf.com The South End serves up casual American food (e.g., meaty entrees, burgers, fried appetizers) in a casual suburbanite environment, with a special mac 'n' cheese bar that allows you to doll up this typically run-of-the-mill pasta dish with items like crab, bacon, minced beef, and more. For post-meal tippling, the bar menu is limited to beer and wine (standard microbrews, no liquor). The South End also closes before midnight, even on weekends, so you'll find no nighthawks at this particular diner. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
http://www.southernpacificbrewing.com Large and airy, the Southern Pacific's warehouse-like taproom is a comfy and bright space in which to try their microbrew selections (plus a few guest beers as well). Don't just fill up on stouts and porters, though -- there's also a food menu full of hearty grub to complement the brew. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
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.

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. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
