The Best Bars In The Mission - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"What’s that? You’re looking for an unpretentious place for an intimate night of wine, vinyl, and good food? Meet the 20 Spot. The Mission restaurant and bar with the neon “Records” sign feels like the den of a skateboarder who loves mid-century design and candlelight. You’ll see everyone in the neighborhood sprawled at the bar, sunk into a couch, or on the outdoor seats with a glass of something from Austria or Sebastopol. The food is reliable, leaning into cheese boards, small plates like an excellent chicken liver mousse, and pizzas that are more like personal-sized flatbreads. Count on this place for everything from one-on-ones to full group catch-ups." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway
