The 19 Best Bars in San Francisco

"This entryway bar inside the Foreign Cinema keeps the Bohemian spirit alive with movie posters celebrating Eastern European film and Cinema Verite, along with vinyl DJs performing most nights, and mezzanine-level booths give imbibers a bird’s-eye view of this cultured cocktail bar. The cocktails come with cinematic names (Sunset Boulevard, All About Eve, Pink Flamingoes) and a plentiful spirits menu keeps partygoers going while $4 Tecates remind us we’re still in the Mission. Laszlo shares Foreign Cinema’s dinner menu, along with oysters on the half shell. International fare like Iberico pork chicharrones with harissa and lime make for the perfect finger food." - Jenna Scatena
