The 14 Best SF Bar Stools With Backs, Ranked - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Angler on the Embarcadero is always a safe bet for a fancy lunch that doesn’t require a reservation, especially if you and the person you’re aiming to impress are happy to sit at the walk-in-only bar. Not only do you have access to the full menu and the undivided attention of the bartender, but you’ll also get to experience the comfort of their bar stools. The chair has armrests and the back is curved and slightly concave—it feels like you’re being gently swaddled by some brown leather. As an added bonus, these stools swivel, so you can easily transition between making intense eye contact with your date and having bites of aged black cod.
