"Rooftop bars aren’t abundant in San Francisco—but there are still options for when you want to drink on an elevated surface. Kaiyo Rooftop in SoMa is on the 12th floor of the Hyatt Place, and has views of the city to go along with a scene that’s as close to an exclusive, no-jeans-allowed club as you can get in town. Peruvian-Japanese dishes like empanadas, chicken karaage, and ceviche in a citrus-y leche de tigre are there for when you get hungry, as are excellent cocktails and wine to drink. There are heaters throughout the rooftop—this is San Francisco, after all—but bundle up in case the wind acts up." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
