San Francisco Work Week Libations

There are thousands of places across San Francisco to enjoy after work libations.  Here are a few favorites to get you started.

Perbacco is a fabulous find in the Financial District in downtown San Francisco.  Since they are open for lunch I have found myself guilty of blending the lunch hour into the after work hours numerous times.  Even though they don’t offer a designated happy hour menu here, it is a perfect place to unwind with your colleagues and have some amazing Italian food.  RIght now they have a flavorful baby beet salad with blackberries which pairs well with a sparkling prosecco.  Also, you can never go wrong with selecting one of their house made pasta dishes and pairing it with a bottle of Barolo.

Hora de Feliz a Mamacitas!  Located on Chestnut in the heart of the Marina District, Mamacitas is one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in the city.  Although it is impossible to turn down anything from this place, a few favorites at happy hour are Barbacoa de Chivo,  Carnitas, and  Gorditas.  And, of course we can’t forget about the libations. The happy hour menu includes mezcal, michelada, and margaritas! The food is delicious and sourced responsibly but if you want a spot at the bar for this popular happy hour, you better come early and line up outside.

Happy hour at the Cigar Bar is a downtown San Francisco favorite because not only do they have a nice outdoor heated patio, but they also have happy hour specials, crafted cocktails, and cigars!   You’ll find happy hour specials during the week and Monday through Thursday they offer $2 snacks and 10% off all bottles of wine.  Stay a little later than happy hour and you’ll catch some local musicians sharing their favorite tunes.

Who doesn’t love a nice cold beer?  Heading to a Giants game and need a place to pre-party?  21st Amendment is located in the SOMA district, just a few short blocks from the stadium.   This brewery is thoughtful in how they craft their brews.  With a year round selection and a seasonal selection, you are bound to find a few beers that will satisfy your taste buds..

It is always a ‘happy hour’ when drinking champagne.  The Bubble Lounge is a sophisticated champagne bar that offers over 300 champagnes and small plates to accompany your bubbly selection.  Have a few bottles of champagne at this place and all that stress and ickiness from your work week will dissipate while you unwind and relax in the comfy couches and lounge chairs.
