Description:
UNION SQUARE. The Cellar, with its dim, underground ambience, ably lives up to its name. Awash in atmospheric charm, it also makes a good first-date spot, as the crowd of young San Franciscans attests. A large beer and wine selection satisfies most thirsts, and mixed drinks are also available. Talented DJs, live music performances, and folks on the dance floor keep the atmosphere charged. Music styles include jazz, soul, and Latin. |

Description:
FINANCIAL DISTRICT. If you mourn the glamour that characterized Hollywood in the '30s and '40s, this refined supper club provides reason to rejoice. Tucked discreetly down an alley, the polished space soars with high ceilings, grand columns and moody lighting. While Bix's accomplished cuisine finds enormous favor with patrons, its much-loved bar is a regular haunt of after-work professionals and upscale city residents who adore the club's elegant style. Perfect martinis are the drink of choice, and live jazz nightly adds an extra measure of class. A great social scene is always in the making. |

Description:
HAYES VALLEY. This small, elegant bar packs plenty of atmospheric panache. Shades of its namesake tone set the mood, as do orchids and candlelight, and a 20-foot indoor waterfall adds a dramatic touch. On the main level is the bar; upstairs, a loft lets patrons keep track of the action below, while on the lower level, a lounge invites conversation and nibbling on small plates of Asian-inspired fare. On weekdays, $2 drink specials make happy hour a can't-miss proposition. Another irresistible quirk is the men's room mirror, which affords visitors a view of the bar while they're in medias res. |
