"For better or worse, San Francisco has a longstanding love affair with Fernet Branca, the bitter herbal liqueur with a cult following. And of all the places to take a first shot — or your 100th — there’s no better bar than R Bar, a homey dive with a “Cheers”-like atmosphere. This Pork Gulch bar is responsible for selling more of the amaro than any other in the city, at least, according to legend." - Lauren Saria
