"The granddaddy of SF’s top-floor tourist magnets, Top of the Mark at the InterContinental Mark Hopkins, manages to still be a thing in the 21st Century because the 360-degree view is impossible to beat. Wander in for a drink on a weekend afternoon, and it should be pretty mellow and easy to snag a prime view. Fun fact: There’s a bottle of whiskey kept in a case by the elevator that members of the armed services have been taking nips from (and periodically replacing) since WWII, signing the log book when they do." - Dianne de Guzman
