The Best Cocktail Bars in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Vesuvio was a stronghold for the Beat movement. The cocktails — from spritzers to Americanos — are representative of the era when poets like Jack Kerouac frequented the establishment. Head upstairs and sidle up to a window with a book from the neighboring City Lights bookstore or just watch people parallel park in tight spaces on Columbus. It’s easy to feel like you’re sipping amid local history surrounded by stained glass fixtures, eclectic paintings, and photographs from the Beatnik era."
