San Francisco Bar At Its Best. This place is reminiscient of a shabby-chic red light district joint straight out of Paris. It is a great homespun spot to booze and schmooze, in an atmosphere that is attitude-free. Although the bar seems to cruise under the radar, it is also a hopping and energetic hot-spot. I've been there a lot, and the crowd is ever-changing and full of eccentric, creative and curious people. It is highly recommended to check it out.

Bohemians flock to this Hayes Valley beer-and-wine bar for local art and a friendly vibe.. The Scene
Nestled among rows of boutiques and restaurants, this gem is somewhat hidden--though it's no secret to arty types who pack it regularly. The front room features a handful of booths and round tables situated across from the petite bar, boasting a bevy of tap beers, wine and sake selections (served by the carafe or mixed into nouveau cocktails, like a plum-sake cosmo). The back room's crimson and burgundy walls are adorned with an abundance of rotating art. A host of seating options includes thrift-store couches.

The Draw
Hip, 20-somethings and graying beatniks feel at home here. Although the atmosphere can be quite lively, the music (often jazzy hip-hop) is typically played at just-right-for-conversation levels. If flirting with the hottie near the bar gets boring, there's always pool.
