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

"This cocktail bar hits that sweet spot of being affordable, impressive, and relaxing all at once. It used to be a dive but got considerably less divey after a recent makeover—there’s now a minimalist orange wave mural, geometric tiles, and an abundance of light wood accents. And even if you never saw Dalva in its old form, you should still get here for a date or quick pre-dinner drink. Come here when you want fantastic cocktails that won’t make your wallet burst into flames, since their excellent highballs achieve the rare SF feat of (mostly) costing $14 or less." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway
