25 Classic Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"We admit that SF’s late-night scene leaves much to be desired. But we’re grateful to Sam’s for keeping the after-dark scene alive since the ‘60s. The counter is open until 1 or 2am most nights—a welcome sight for anyone stumbling in for terrific burgers after going out in North Beach. Get a double with everything, and swap old Vesuvio stories with the characters perched next to you at the bar until it’s time to go home. (Despite the weathered cash-only signs, they do take cards now.)" - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
