San Francisco
The Marina and neighboring Cow Hollow trade cocktail-lab seriousness for easy sports bars, historic cafes, and one quietly brilliant museum bar. Here is where our editors drink near the water.
Sports Bar · Marina
A Baker Street sports bar near the Presidio with a wall of screens, free popcorn, and a loyal game-day crowd.
Sports Bar · Marina
One of the oldest sports bars in the city, on Union Street since 1900, with darts, screens, and a no-frills welcome.
Sports Bar · Marina
A Chestnut Street institution and a Marina staple for games, cheap drinks, and a young after-work crowd.
Cocktail Bar · Marina
An 1913 saloon on the Cow Hollow line, famous for its burger and its old-San-Francisco crowd. A real classic.
Cocktail Bar · Marina
A Union Street bar and a Marina weekend mainstay, busy and social with a list built for an easy night out.
Cocktail Bar · Marina
The bar inside the Long Now Foundation at Fort Mason, with books, art, and drinks tied to ideas of deep time. The most thoughtful seat near the water.
Pub · Marina
A tiny Union Street pub, bottles only and barely a dozen seats, run like a London local. Cash, and bring patience.
