The 8 Best Rooftop Bars in San Francisco - AFAR

"El Techo de Lolinda translates to 'Lolinda’s roof,' which aptly describes the Latin American hot spot on top of Lolinda steakhouse in the Mission District. On those rare hot San Francisco weekends, pitchers of margaritas and brunch (a local sport) are wildly popular; the weekday happy hour draws a crowd, too, with $4 cervezas and tasty street-food specialties such as shrimp skewers and chicharrones de carne. Tropical rum- and tequila-focused cocktails are stellar and pair well with views that stretch from the surrounding rooftops all the way to the downtown skyline and the Bay Bridge. On cold nights, heat lamps are lit, blankets are doled out, and a windscreen keeps everyone toasty warm, all of which lead to hard-to-get tables at this SF favorite." - Kimberley Lovato
