Lounges near South San Francisco, CA

“I've been staying and working in South San Francisco this week without a car. Have dined there for lunch 2 days in a row now, and both days I also brought back dinner to my hotel for the evening. Everything has been delicious with fresh ingredients. Really creative and elevated offerings for a quick service restaurant. The salmon was especially amazing! I had 2 really dismal experiences earlier in the week with Doordash and only wish I had tried Foundry & Lux sooner. I'll be back tomorrow before heading back home on Saturday 😀“

“Fort McKinley Restaurant, Bar & Banquet offers a wonderful dining experience. The food was flavorful and well prepared, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The portions were satisfying, and everything we tried was enjoyable. It’s a great place for a relaxed meal or a special gathering, and I would happily visit again.“

“Nice bar and really like the roof fan“

“Excellent Sunday vibe good music and good food“

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

“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! 👍🏿“

“Great drinks and space both outdoors and indoors.“

“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.“

“I was part of the opening team at this site. This hotel, the staff, the experience changed my life. I was part of the quality vision team here. It's a site that always stayed with me: it's an unforgettable place where I left my heart! ❤️ 💎 💎 💎 💎 💎“

“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“

“Friends and I staying near here popped in for a quick drink on a Friday night (7pm) and had no issue finding a spot at the bar. Our drink orders were taken quickly and the atmosphere is really chill. I really enjoy the low warm lighting and wood look. I'm writing a review because my drink was DELICIOUS! I enjoy sweet flavorful drinks and the Pleasure Palace was a party for my tongue! Great dopamine hit, I highly suggest!

There is no parking, walk or ride share. I did not try the food.“

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

“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.“

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

“I absolutely love this place. I read some of the low reviews because I couldn’t believe there were some. Yes, the price is high but that’s most bars in the city. And yes, it can take a while to order but that’s because every drink is crafted and presented with care. This place has some of the most unique drinks I’ve ever had. They are always changing up the menu and doing some fun pop up’s and themes. Customer service is exceptional, especially Leo. I love that it is not easy to find and that you have to know the password.“

“The warmth and welcome from the staff was the absolute best thing I remember from our stay here. It has clearly set the bar for every where else. Of course the surrounding is splendid and well appointed but long after your stay the experience provided by the remains“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite local spots, especially for showing off the neighborhood to family and friends from out of town.

Excellent drinks and ambiance, and I particularly enjoy the roasted beet salad.

Hats off to the staff!“

“My visit to Novela was such a great experience! The layout is warm, inviting, and sexy. The sofas, library books, chopped wood, and comfortable chairs create such a unique atmosphere.

The staff was very friendly, and the punch flight was delicious. I really enjoyed the Caesar salad, although the crispy chicken sliders were a little too crispy for my taste. I would have preferred the chicken to be softer and more moist.

The live jazz band was the perfect touch and created a relaxed, laid-back mood. Overall, Novela has a great vibe, good drinks, and a beautiful atmosphere. I’d definitely visit again!“

“😃🥰nice place for cocktails“

“It is all about the Atmosphere and view from this lounge. Good cocktails but could be better. The finger-food available is limited and not that great either.
Overall, a great place to grab a few drinks and soak in city views at night and sunset.“

“Such a lovely bespoke atmosphere and the cocktails and bar bites are so artfully crafted. My only disappointment was that I only had time to visit once during my time in San Mateo but I hope to return. Cheers!“

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

“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.“

“I don’t say this lightly… Bryan makes the best espresso martini I’ve ever had, he has this drink dialed in. The freshly grated cinnamon with Mexican chocolate is a next level touch. This is what dreams are made of. And the music is the cherry on top.“

“I hit this bar anytime I’m in the area. Quirky, friendly, funny… perfect! It’s a full bar so you can get all sorts of cocktails made, or just have a bottle of Buddha beer in the green bottle. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.“

“We came here to have dinner for a birthday. From the wines to the food, everything was awesome. The plates were solid and they made very flavorful food. We enjoyed our time here. I recommend having a reservation as the place was pretty full. Luckily we made one weeks prior. We will come back!“

“Very clean and organized and family oriented, I was there for a month and Rakesh gave me the best hospitality, met lots of family and old friends there ,🙏🏽🙏🏽“

“Great view and good drinks and service“

“Love the dry aged porterhouse, juicy and delicious. The service was phenomenal and of course the new location.“

“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!“

“We stopped in post show and were greeted warmly by the bartender Chris. We asked for a Hugo Spritz and he was up for the challenge. Delicious!!! The ambiance is warm and inviting, fireplace gives a nice vibe. We will definitely be coming here again.“

“Great service and breakfast!!“

“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.“

“Emily Lopez was the main reason that we would come back. She was absolutely spectacular and she was a great hostess that complimented my wife to no end and also gave us some great ideas and recommendations for the city. If not for her, the stars would be less she was fantastic unfortunately the food was not Four Seasons standards in my opinion.“

“This place couldn’t have kinder staff or a more cheers style family atmosphere. They know your name, your drink & your desires. Artsy & fab. Luv it here!“

“The coffee was excellent. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. Food was good. Best of all was a customer service by Carlos R. He was so polite to show me where to get the key for the shower and extremely cordial and professional took the time to walk me over to the front desk. These are quality people that you have here. He would be an awesome flight attendant.!!“

“Great bartenders, especially Joseph!“

“Relaxed and sophisticated feel with great ambiance and shazamable music. The bartender Dominic is great.“

“Excellent service. I had a issue with my meal and the manager was genuinely concerned and wanted to make it right. He ultimately ended up comping my meal. I really appreciated the gesture. My server was also very professional and kind. Thank you so much!“

“Fun place , check it out sometime“

“Nice spacious lounge away from the hustle and bustle of the main airport. They opened at 10am when we were there. The staff was very friendly and helpful while we were there. They had a nice selection of hot and cold food plus their made to order noodle bar.“

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

“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.“

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

“The food is amazing! Armando is a FANTASTIC server!!“

“If you're looking for a place to gather, drink, eat, talk, dance, sing, shout, jump up and down, whatever.. look no further, this is the spot.

The marigold team was communicative, fair, and friendly and the space itself is a perfect canvas for you to create whatever event you dream of.

We threw our wedding after party here with a DJ, disco lights, glow sticks, etc and we couldn't have asked for a better space and team to work with.“

“Amazing place to hang out if you are near San Francisco Airport. The vibe is good, place is cozy. I visited on Saturday night and DJ was amazing. Good dance floor. Helpful staff and some good options of cocktails. Ample parking that is free too over weekends. Must visit place. Kash was great in making sure only the right aged people are getting inside. He was humble and cheerful person. Dancing as well 😂 on the beats inside.“
