Unique Cocktail, Dive Bars & Beer Bars In San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the top cocktail cities in the world - ask around. Usually, most cities will have a signature drink, have 1-2 popular bars or just have cheap dive bars with not much going on in town but San Francisco has many bars with unique offerings, vibes and more.

Some bars are known for not really having a menu but rather a drink you should stick to. Others have a unique vibe with over the top decor. Other bars have a classic feel while others are straight-up weird or historic.

Over the years, I have either taken guests here for something unique they can’t get back home, have taken photos for clients who have a specific request for their dating profile photos or just pulled up a seat and just enjoy what makes these spaces fun and unique.

When I travel, I usually seek out places that are unique, cocktails/bites that I can’t get back home or order items that places do well - but that’s just me. Here are the drinks and bars that make San Francisco unique, including some that are not on menus anymore but are available if you are in the know. ; )
