Bars in North Beach

a North Beach club from the Paris 75 team, on-point music and a great atmosphere

a newer Grant Avenue cocktail bar, turntables and welcoming bartenders

a North Beach fixture since 1907, a heated front patio for people-watching

a little slice of France on Broadway, wine flights, beer, cheese & charcuterie

huge fruity tropical drinks, a tiki-meets-dive vibe

a 1931-era supper-club music venue, red velvet and chandeliers

North Beach soccer pub (home of the SF Blues / Man City), Guinness and walls of screens

Beat Generation legend since 1948, stained glass windows

down a hidden alley off Broadway, former speakeasy and brothel space

walls covered in decades of oddities and memorabilia, down a tiny alley

oldest bar in SF (1861), nightly live blues

red booths, opera on the jukebox

spirit-forward cocktails with pie crust, condensed milk, raisins, mid-century modern, pistachio green tambour

opened 1942 — North Beach's old-Italian-guys bar par excellence, Beat-era regulars (Ferlinghetti, Saroyan) drank here when it was already old

opened 1933, the day Prohibition ended — three generations of the Nicco family, tiny North Beach lounge — leather banquettes, mirrored back bar, no TVs

Battle of the Decades Fridays — music starts in the 50s at 5pm, advances a decade each hour, drinks start at $1 and climb hourly with the decades

large selection of flavored whiskeys, pinball machines and darts

open since 1922 — Joe DiMaggio's old haunt, frequented by local mobsters in the 40s–50s, $8 Irish Coffee that's a genuine steal

bar, pool hall, and rotating art gallery in one, free pool always

French-leaning late-night bar with steak frites, tinned fish, and oysters, preview of the forthcoming Lillie Coit's in North Beach

Future Bars concept that rotates theme every 9 months — currently 'Long Weekend Havana', Cuban-themed cocktails in a 1923 Italian American Bank building (birthplace of the Pisco Punch)

opened December 2025 in the Old Spaghetti Factory landmark (1908 building), California-Mexican cocktails — agave spirits and housemade infusions

big 'wet your lips' neon sign and burrata on every table, wines organized as 'Rich & Thicc', 'Flirtatious', and 'We Get It Susan, You Like Dry Rosé'

Future Bars group — apothecary-style bar paying tribute to the Barbary Coast era, cocktails made with extinct and revived ingredients

in a historic 1912 building on Grant Ave, southern comfort food alongside cocktails and beer
