Bar seats are some of my favorite places to dine whether alone or with friends and loved ones. There are many advantages to sitting at the bar including people-watching, socializing, getting drinks/orders sooner and more.

I have spent much of my adult life sitting at bar seats eating as well as helping people make friends and date more efficiently and I do this by analyzing places from ambiance, setup and more.

Below are some of my favorite places to dine and drink alone. Whether you are shy and want to eat at places alone or are a social butterfly and want to meet people in SF, this list is for you.

A lot of work goes into maintaining this list - as you can see, other sites have very outdated lists that are years old and/or contain just a fraction of what I have here.
