Burgers, fish & chips, beer, and Bay Bridge views on patio
"At Red’s Java House, you can score big on Bay Bridge views without having to break the bank. This old-school, no-frills burger spot (though there are other food options including fish and chips and sandwiches) sits right on the water, practically underneath the bridge, so you can gape up at the blue sky, down toward glittering water, and out at the city itself while enjoying a cold beer and a basket of excellent onion rings." - Paolo Bicchieri
"There are plenty of things to do in this city, like walk down Ocean Beach, chill in Golden Gate Park, or take a trip north for some sauvignon blanc in Wine Country. If you’re seeking a different kind of day, consider spending a lazy afternoon soaking up some sun at Red’s Java House. This pre-Giants game hangout (or anytime hangout, for that matter) is all about the sunny vibes—it has a back patio right by the Bay Bridge and is the perfect place to enjoy something cold over a burger on a sourdough roll." - lani conway, julia chen 1
"Red’s Java House is such a classic that when you’re eating here, it feels more like you’re sitting in a movie than participating in real life because places like this don’t really exist anymore. The back patio overlooking a parking structure and the bay is one of the best places in the city to drink a few beers and eat a classic burger. It’s simple and good, but comes on a sourdough roll, which adds something extra to it." - will kamensky
"Don’t let the exterior of this Embarcadero burger spot fool you. What you can’t see from the front of this place is the sizable patio hiding out back with picnic tables and benches that are surrounded by the water. Order a lunch combo with a serviceable burger or hot dog and a drink and stake your claim to a seat. This patio is uncovered, so try to find a table with an umbrella." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
"For a casual meal, a cold drink, and excellent waterfront views, you’ll want to bring your group to Red’s Java House on the Embarcadero. Soaking up the sun on their patio while staring out at the Bay Bridge is an excellent way to spend a lazy afternoon—and doing it all with a burger (which comes on a chewy sourdough roll) in hand is even better." - julia chen 1
