Show us how much beer you can down! (See what we did there?) This North Beach gem has a HUGE selection of food and drinks and you won’t find better bar food anywhere else in the city. Stop by for drinks but stay for their signature Wagyu burger and let the Poor guys show you how to get down!

2198 Market St, San Francisco
Say, "Gluten tag!" at this indoor beer garden serving up some brats (with vegan options, too) and rotating taps. It's the perfect spot to go to before hitting a show at Cafe du Nord or Swedish American Hall. Prost!

There’s no way you could say “no mo” to their wide selection of wines, cheeses, and cured meats. Wanna throw a party? Well, bring your whole crew with you! Nommo’s bright and inviting atmosphere is perfect for parties and gatherings where you could share drinks and slurp down some oysters.

925 Bush St. // Lower Nob Hill
This modern bar’s high glass ceilings will let you soak in some vitamin D while enjoying refreshing cocktails. And did we mention the wide variety of beers and wines on tap? Peacekeepers’ bare concrete wall aesthetic adds onto its laid back and relaxed atmosphere (and it's perfect for the 'gram, too).

2036 Lombard St. // Cow Hollow
They got cocktails in the back, the whiskey selection’s stacked, and don’t forget your boots that’s black to match. Take a ride on the only mechanical bull in the city for a ride on the old town road and riiiiide til you can't no more!

Feeling boujee for the night? A piece of One65’s multi-level culinary concept, Elements Bar & Lounge is located in the heart of Union Square. If you’re down to spend a couple bucks, grab a menu and sip on cocktails inspired by the four elements. The Book Burner is a cocktail literally served in a book with its bold blend of spirits ranging from Apple Brandy, Buffalo Trace, and Carpano Antica.

1000A 3rd St. // Mission Bay
Looking for a place to brew up a good time? This spot in Mission Bay is the new go-to spot for beer enthusiasts. With this being their first US location, there’s no need to go on a hunt for their beers when you could just hop on over to their beer bar and enjoy a brew straight from the tap.
Now, time to grab a drink and take a few pics because nothing keeps your 'gram game on lock more than a photo at a swanky new spot.
