Last updated April 10, 2025
I left out a few places as I could not confirm current offerings. Since last update, a few places eliminated happy hours later in the week (Thur/Fri) and some expanded offerings to the weekend… huzzah! As for oysters, many places have raised rates from $1 to $1.50-$2 since the last update. In addition to the list, I listed my favorite offerings for:
late night happy hours
weekend happy hours
oyster happy hours
best happy hours
seafood happy hours
San Francisco Happy Hour List
Dining and drinking in the city as at an all-time high. Thanks to supply issues, wage increases, rising cost of living and inflation, prices for bars and restaurants are at an all-time high.
This happy hour list for San Francisco could not have come at a better time. I have spent hours assembling and update this list for you by researching menus, calling establishments and verifying offerings.
The list includes oysters, wine, beer, cocktails and more and is meant to focus on meaningful discounts and offers rather than just $1 off items for a more curated set of offerings.
For example, some places may offer beer during happy hour but I didnt’ mark it as such because the price doesn’t reflect that necessarily.
SF Happy Hours: Downtown, Union Square, Embarcadero
A lot of work goes into maintaining this list -it is manually curated and involves lots of calls, emails, messages to confirm days, times & offerings.
