The Cellar
(Nightlife - Bars)
685 Sutter St, San Francisco  94102 • 415-441-5678
Distance: ~1258 ft *
        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.

Be aware that the place occasionally hosts a celebrity or two, so keep your eyes peeled!

Bix
(Nightlife - Bars)
56 Gold St, San Francisco  94133 • 415-433-6300
Distance: ~0.53 mi *
        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.

Buena Vista Cafe
(Nightlife - Bars)
2765 Hyde St, at Beach St, San Francisco  94109 • 415-474-5044
Distance: ~1.13 mi *
        Description: FISHERMAN'S WHARF. This area cafe serves as an especially pleasant stop for late-nighters looking to have a drink with friends. It's also notable for having been a setting in the movie "When a Man Loves a Woman," with Meg Ryan. Drinks range from cocktails to specialty coffees, and the Irish coffee has earned quite a loyal following. Expect crowds too, because the place's reputation is strong, thanks to tasty bar food and great views of the waterfront.

Bus Stop Saloon
(Nightlife - Bars)
1901 Union St, San Francisco  94123 • 415-567-6905
Distance: ~1.16 mi *
        Description: COW HOLLOW. Conducive to nights of rowdy cheering and rooting for your favorite team, Bus Stop is a true sports-lover's haven. It's been around for a century, and its longevity can certainly be attributed, in part, to dynamic crowds and ever-present drinks. Stake out a table near the octagonal windows up front, or join a friendly game at one of the pool tables. Great, affordable cocktails are even better amid the sports memorabilia. During happy hour, drink prices are even further reduced.

AsiaSF
(Nightlife - Bars)
201 9th St, San Francisco  94103 • 415-255-2742 • 415-255-8838
Distance: ~1.20 mi *
        Description: SOMA. A penchant for the dramatic colors this entire enterprise, which is simultaneously a restaurant, bar and (downstairs) dance club. An Asian theme is served by shoji screens, bamboo accents and a recurring dragon motif. Perhaps, though, the most intriguing aspect of Asia SF is that servers are also female impersonators (or "gender illusionists," as they're called here). While watching them perform, take advantage of fantastic California-Asian cuisine, along with desserts, signature cocktails and an award-winning wine list. Required dinner reservations guarantee your table for an hour and 45 minutes.

Boom Boom Room
(Nightlife - Bars)
1601 Fillmore St, San Francisco  94115 • 415-673-8000
Distance: ~1.34 mi *
        Description: JAPANTOWN. It's all about blues music at this Fillmore Street club, which also throws in soul, R&B, and gospel for interest and good measure. Regulars often follow-up a spin around the large dance floor with a drink at the bar, indulging in one of the club's killer cocktails. In fact, focus on music and dancing is the main draw, although you may want to check out the great photographs lining the walls. Since the place is open every day until 2am, you'll be able to take in a large share of fun for a good price.
