"This bar on the 12th floor of the Canopy Hotel, right next to the Moscone Center, is staunchly reservations-only, but they often have spots on OpenTable—hopefully you're lucky and get seated on a couch lining the railing. With a chill but slightly buttoned-up party vibe, this spot feels like an expensive penthouse apartment party where everyone is wearing their fanciest SF attire. Get a table during sunset, order the thick Pasion De Mezcal, and nibble on a small bite like a pulpo de olivo for the best possible experience." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
