This popular rooftop bar just a stone’s throw from SF’s central Union Square attracts the after-hours crowd, who mingle while sipping on IPAs and imaginative signature cocktails, washed down by Italian comfort food favourites by acclaimed local chef Christian Hermsdor. Protected from the wind, the tree-bedecked terrace inspires an infectious, good-natured frivolity that’s earned the venue a certain reverence among SF’s more judicious night owls.
