"The wood-and-brick interior, massive chandeliers, and red color scheme at this Jackson Square favorite pay tribute to the bar’s history. The building predates the 1906 earthquake and the neighborhood was once home to the infamous Barbary Coast, one of San Francisco’s earliest red-light districts. The Beach X Hyde, meanwhile, is a form of tribute to the sailors who were often the district’s patrons; BACARDÍ Ocho, pineapple, guava, and bitters create a mix that would taste familiar to any tropical adventurer." - Robert Spuhler
