    The Residence has a reputation amongst locals. It will get you laid. A special kind of classy comfort stems from the red wallpaper, vaguely Victorian parlor room and unpretentious cocktail list. Read more

    Go on a Wednesday to sample some good eats from pop-up, Easy Creole. Fill your belly with red beans, spinach and mushroom étouffée, and gumbo, then wash it all down with a tasty adult beverage. Read more

    One of the best bars in San Francisco. Go here if you want to have conversations with friends. Do not go here if you want to shout over loud music all night.

    Nice cozy spot, and the English breakfast is so refreshing. I hate the new sign though, doesn't adequately represent the ambiance

    Start a conversation with Peter when it is not busy. You will not regret it. He is the most awesome, friendly bartender I have ever met.

    Comfortable, cozy, and mellow. Good place to hang out and talk. Make sure to ask for the cocktails menu, it is not listed on the wall. There are some great drinks listed, you won't regret it. Read more

    Great, unpretentious place to grab some cocktails. Particularly focused on Moscow Mules and whiskey.

    Chill, good cocktails, has a bunch of couches, and allows dogs. What more could you want?

    No captain & I wish they had a beer list rather than making you awkwardly look at the taps, other than that, I like this place!

    Get a Kentucky Mule! It's basically a Dark and Stormy but with whiskey, which makes it superior!

    Modeled after where a hard-drinking, worldly writer would want to unwind after a day at the typewriter. Try the Manhattan and wobble away with a smile.
