"The Interval is one of the city's more unusual bars, and will instantly impress anyone you take simply by showing them you know it exists. This all-day spot has kind of a coffee shop vibe that combines the offices of a chemistry professor and a Mission start-up. Instead of tea and coffee though, they serve a long and impressive list of cocktails. It’s a good spot for a solo drink, or for a small group after you've walked around the Presidio." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
