"Transparently, we could not agree on a title for this bar guide. "The Coolest Bars In SF?" No, what does "cool" mean, anyway? "SF's Hottest Bars For Hot People Who Just Want To Have Fun?" Obviously, that didn't get very far in the editorial process. Plainly speaking, use this list of some of the best SF bars-from the classics to new hot spots-any time you're looking for an exceptionally good time."
"Anyone who cares about hot new bars has probably spent several nights getting moody at The Felix (it's from the people behind the fancy-ish Vietnamese spot Bodega SF). Inspired by speakeasies, to enter, you have to push the framed photo and head through the door that leads downstairs. This loungey den has a never-ending supply of cool: neon red lights, big yellow booths, a small dance floor, and a DJ."
"Key Klub is fueled by duck liver mousse-topped french toast, excellent double patty burgers, and tacos. The pink-tinted Lower Nob Hill natural wine bar (from the people behind Bodega) has one of the best bar food menus in town-which certainly helps to keep the two-story space packed. As do the glasses of natural wine under silly-named sections like "Thicc Boys" and "Here To Party.""
"Like climbing hills or picnicking on a 45-degree slope at Stern Grove, closing down Madrone at 2am is an essential SF experience. The NoPa bar/art gallery is where to throw off your light jacket and dance in the glowy red, art-covered space with people who remember floppy disks and people who, well, don't. Themed dancing nights, from Motown Mondays to Emo vs. Pop Punk, and artsy events like figure drawing, keep Madrone's pull strong."
San Francisco nightlife features several notable bars that combine unique atmospheres with strong food and drink offerings. The Felix operates as a speakeasy-style lounge with a hidden framed-photo entrance, neon-red lighting, large booths, a small dance floor, and DJ-fueled, easygoing dancing alongside Asian-inflected highballs and classic cocktails. Key Klub occupies a pink-tinted, two-story Lower Nob Hill space emphasizing natural wine and a standout bar-food menu including duck liver mousse–topped french toast, double-patty burgers, and tacos. Madrone doubles as a NoPa bar and art gallery with late-night hours, themed dance nights, and arts events that sustain a lively, intergenerational crowd.
