Lounges near Sausalito, CA

“The $55 prix fixe menu offers good choices. I enjoyed the chicken, and my wife loved the fresh fish. We both had the "Vacherin," a delightful ice cream dessert that I later discovered is a French classic. The staff was very good, and my cocktail was fine.“

“Excellent Sunday vibe good music and good food“

“great place and the prices are even better. The owner is so nice. This is our new go to bar when we come to San Francisco. They rhave happy hour prices all the time. love the drink he made me“

“Marianne's was absolutely amazing!! I went with a couple friends for my birthday and our bartender/waiter Chris made the night so special. The food was absolutely delicious, drinks were perfect, and got the cutest photos ever. Would 100% come again.“

“The Exploratorium has been a huge part of my life. Growing up in San Francisco, I went there constantly, and it’s what first sparked my love for science. I’ll never forget the old location it’s a childhood memory I’ll always hold onto, but the new space on the waterfront is such an upgrade and so much more accessible for everyone. Every exhibit is so well thought out, creative, and fun to explore. No matter how many times I visit, there’s always something new to discover. Anytime I’m back in the city, I make sure to spend at least a day (or two!) at the Exploratorium. Truly one of San Francisco’s treasures.“

“Old world ambiance meets current SF vibe. We shared six small plates between four people and couldn't finish them all. Each was a vibrant taste experience. Especially notable were the Beef Pierogi Dumplings which were uniquely savory. For a light meal, before the theater, the Cheesy Roasted Potatoes and Roasted Beet Salad would satisfy two. Edward, the owner, served one hit after the other, knowing how to serve encore after encore of deliciousness.“

“Great people, great cocktails and great music all in a relaxed and rustic environment.“

“I came for the Silent Book Club. It seems to be a nice place. I didn't order anything at this visit. We were in a room in the back and were given water and small snacks. The bar seems to be a place with a bit of an intellectual vibe and seems inviting. Maybe it would be nice to return for some of its offerings.“

“Friendly staff who are happy to give reccomendations for the area (both for food, bars etc as well as "cultural" advice).

Reasonably priced.

Nice vibe. Music, but not too loud. Cool rural on the floor you enter in.“

“Really cool local bar…..the first time I ever tried Flor de Caña was from here…..all the proofs! Nice crowd, service, atmosphere, good drinks, vibe & bar bites! 👍🏿“

“Definitely a great spot! It’s certainly not guaranteed that you’ll have a spot, but our group of 4 managed to get seats. Our server, Don was a great host and made us feel comfortable and not rushed at all. You’re much more likely to find seats as a smaller group, but it’s worth checking it out.“

“Craft Cocktails are creative, balanced, and leaving you wanting more. The food: Duck Salad, Buns, Veg Fried Rice, Sea Bass were all fresh, flavorful, and amazing. This restaurant takes Asian Pacific Cuisine and elevates it to the heavens… The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, accommodating, and very friendly.“

“Nice bar and really like the roof fan“

“Great bar and bartender! Arno was a pure gentleman! Great spot for a late night drink after the crowds have cleared North Beach. We were the only two people in there on NYD at midnight but the bartender made us feel welcome and happily gave us great service even though the streets were dead. He also pointed us to a premium sandwich shop for lunch the next day. $14 specialty cocktails and $5 beers too!“

“What could be better than a gay martini bar with a piano lounge? I was born to play here!“

“Great service and breakfast!!“

“Fun time and great cocktails and food come here with your friends for sure.“

“Amazing staff. Lovely owners out of this work drinks and mock tails and the plants !!!!“

“First time customer after passing by for years of living in this neighborhood. The staff are AMAZING! Crystal is a phenomenal bartender and a wonderful conversationalist. Granted it was not busy so I was able to grasp her attention even though she was clearly still paying attention to Everyone in the bar and meeting their needs. Extremely professional and personable.
Overall exp:
Bar maid is great. Bald guy is cool 😎
I will definitely be coming back! A great neighborhood spot for locals to discover and spend their evening <3“

“Deliciously vicious cocktails“

“This wine bar is one of my favorites and it never disappoints. The wine list is always excellent, the escargots are truly the best, and the flatbread is amazing. I’ve been coming here for years, and I can honestly say it’s my go-to wine bar. Perfect for a date or for a full catching-up with friends“

“absolfunutely !fun fun fun. leave your Troubles at bay,come sing it out💋😆👊🌟🎶🎶🎶🎶“

“I quit drinking before the judge ordered me to—how is that for initiative? Since that last call, no bar has captured my attention. Nor have I returned to any of the bars I enjoyed around here. I’m from the east coast—a pub near a rail station which draws a crowd free of pretense is proper nurture. Glen Park Station is welcoming, comfortable, fun, and built for a night done right.

There are non-alcoholic brews for those who abstain, shot-and-a-beer specials for $12.00, wine by the glass, and an indoor smoking lounge. A pinball machine which takes dollar bills. Darts. Superior bar stools. Table seating up front. A rear patio. No Apple Pay.The bar has neighboring businesses which serve food. One can find Vietnamese, Thai, and Mexican fare within a block. The bodega sits across from BART, on the same side of Diamond St. A pizza place is in proximity. This area has a low-key dominance about it. A great spot for socializing, a walkable pocket of the city wherein small businesses sling good eats, and you have the option to get hammered.

Parking is available in the public library lot after 6, 7, 8PM during the week. Street parking on the northbound lane of Bosworth between Arlington & Diamond is free in the evenings. I am not sure when the meters stop accepting payment-I pulled up at 7:30PM on a Monday.

To those behind the wheel—be advised—residential streets intersect as sharp turns become sudden hills. At all hours there are pedestrians, cyclists, and coyotes. SFPD often posts a patrol vehicle on Bosworth (south of the Arlington intersection) to eyeball the I-280 south on-ramp.“

“😃🥰nice place for cocktails“

“Excellent service! And delicious cocktails and draft beer!“

“I enjoyed food in this lounge several times when i went to lunch her with my co-workers. Corn soup was great. I also get the salmon salad. My co-workers got cesar salad. One time we got won ton soup. Very good, but won ton was small. Service is very attentive. Not too many people.“

“Historical significance with Jack Kerouac and very cool looking. Great location.“

“I love performing their can't wait to go back“

“I could not have enjoyed my stay at the Hyatt Regency SF more than I did. Exceptional friendly staff and the room I had at the top of the world with a world class view of the Bay , stunning. . . . Not inexpensive but if you can afford a room here with a water view, , do not hesitate. Ferry building across the street is fun to browse and the boardwalk wonderfully walkable/runable.“

“Waldy was the bartender and was super hospitality and welcoming! He was great at recommending the best drinks and food. The quesabirria and the barbacoa nachos were delicious and you have to do a Mexican candy shot (pictured). Music was also great.“

“Amazingly weird, a real gem. Strange and wonderful interior with a wildly good beer selection and the owner, Remat, is a genuine “only in SF” character. Go for the decor, stay for the sour beer, and support a neighborhood bar that could never be imitated.“

“Good music. That’s about it in terms of major pros. I usually come because the bar is empty at nights and I can bring a large group without worry of the place being too full but sometimes the bouncers will try to charge cover when the place is maybe at 5-10% capacity and I’m about to bring in 15 people all ready to buy shots. Not sure what kind of instruction they’re receiving but if Rockwell is empty and still charging cover there’s so many better bars nearby they’ll lose business to“

“Orafo is a hidden gem perched above San Francisco’s Financial District — a restaurant that blends California boldness with classic Italian soul, all wrapped in Four Seasons elegance. I came here for two breakfasts and one indulgent lunch, and each meal was a perfect mix of thoughtful preparation, fresh ingredients, and flawless service.

The space itself is stunning: airy and sunlit during the day, warm and intimate at night. Whether you're seated by the windows or tucked into a cozy banquette, it feels like a refined escape from the busy city below.

Must-orders: the seafood soup — rich, comforting, and full of depth — and the perfectly seared steak, which was easily one of the best I’ve had in SF. Everything from the plating to the pacing felt intentional and quietly luxurious.

Whether you're staying at the hotel or not, Orafo is absolutely worth a visit. It’s effortlessly chic, never pretentious, and ideal for anything from business meetings to slow, indulgent meals above the city.“

“I had a great drink here and will be back — good conversation and playful banter with the bartender. Local spot on Chestnut with a pool table in the back. I stopped in solo just to check the vibe, since I live in the neighborhood and had never been in. Everyone was welcoming, and the staff was happy to chat.“

“Great drinks and space both outdoors and indoors.“

“I work in the service industry so i’m very observant. The experience here was 10/10– this place was recommended by another industry member (server at Tripisueño another great spot!!!) everyone here is attentive. The place here is super cute & Francisco (the bartender that took care of me) will guide you to the best drinks & best spots here. 10/10 recommend.“

“Great cocktails and service, not a massive venue so would be perfect to have a cocktail party“

“Thank you, Le Petit Paris 75, for welcoming the Richard Crook trio to your delightful club. Always a friendly atmosphere, amazing cocktails, and awesome music line ups!“

“Great views, great staff, great food, and great drinks. Loved the decor and atmosphere. Would recommend and will return. Enjoyed the DJ, my favorite drinks were the Love Cats and Mr. Jinks. We shared several plates and the pork belly skewers, the pretzels (the mustard and pimento stuff was delish) and the asparagus salad were all amazing.“

“Marcus & Aliah are two of the best. I frequented here for several months in 2023. This is a good bar for meeting people, with good music and cocktails. Juan, the owner, is sometimes here and very hospitable. The bartenders know the house cocktails, which are batched and quite good. There is a DJ playing on most weekend nights. They have recently had renovations which turned out quite well.“

“Amazing, the nicest people fells like family in here“

“Great music and good bartenders and nice people“

“Great asian-inspired cocktails. Good vibes and our bartender was very friendly, and did a great job recommending drinks for us. Lots of interesting flavors pairings. We stopped by before dinner on a Saturday, and it wasn't too crowded.“

“This place is a hidden gem. You must go! The music venue was out of this world great! We saw Zinggflower on a Monday night & they were terrific! Blues/Jazz. They play on Monday nights. The food here was terrific also, Southern Comfort food & yes the biscuits were great! Each night there is a different band but go see Zinggflower on Monday nights if you can. They will not disappoint. The musicians are so talented!“

“A really lovely event space with amazing staff. Drinks, ambiance, sounds system, this place has it all. Jacobo the manager is very organized and was wonderful to work with for planning an wedding celebration. Would definitely host another even there - highly recommend !!“
