The Interval at Long Now

"Get a side of education with your Gimlet at The Interval, a bar, cafe, museum, and cultural foundation all rolled into one. The drink list reads like a book, where each cocktail is broken down by style with a brief history lesson accompanying each. The space begs for conversation, with paintings, books, and various artifacts and prototypes for the Long Now Foundation. Escape the crowds in Fort Mason and find solace in The Interval’s cozy and provocative interior." - Eloise Porter

"If you want to get smarter while you drink, go to The Interval in Fort Mason. This bar/cafe/museum is home to stacks and stacks of books on science and engineering and is the rare spot in the city where you can learn about biomimicry while also drinking a gimlet." - julia chen 1, will kamensky

"The Interval is one of the more unique bars in San Francisco, and the fact that you even know it exists will probably impress your date. Tucked next to Greens in Fort Mason, the bar has an extensive cocktail list and is decorated to look like an eccentric chemistry professor’s office. This spot is good for an early evening cocktail and a walk along the water towards the bridge." - lani conway, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1

"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
