"Hotel bargoers have two excellent bars to choose from at the Jay Hotel, and it’s simply a matter of choosing your own adventure. The Third Floor Lounge has an outdoor terrace with fire pits and a full bar ready to pour whatever your heart desires. While it’s not quite the acrophobia-inducing heights of other hotel bar patios on this list, we think it’s pretty nice. Meanwhile, Southern grandma fare meets fine dining restaurant at Prelude, which also boasts its own cozy bar with a design inspired by the Presidio’s eucalyptus groves." - Dianne de Guzman
