San Francisco’s 14 Best Tourist Traps | Eater SF

"Let out your inner Beatnik at this classic San Francisco bar, located off Columbus Avenue where Chinatown meets FiDi meets North Beach. It’s as old-school as it gets with crowded booths and narrow stairs that lead up to the mezzanine. That’s where you’ll find the best seats in the house: Peer down onto the bar and its patrons and watch as the staff lights the chandeliers’ many candles as evening sets in." - Dianne de Guzman
