The Riptide

"The Riptide is an Outer Sunset bar with a more packed social calendar than an overzealous high school senior. They have a nightly schedule of DJs, live bands, and karaoke nights for when you want to show off your best rendition of Queen’s entire discography. It all goes down under low lights and the mysterious gaze of mermaid statues hanging on the walls. And the best part: there’s a small but mighty fireplace in the back, which is great for regaining feeling in your fingers after taking a stroll along the dunes nearby." - julia chen 1, lani conway

"The Riptide rose from the ashes of a major fire and brought back its roaring fireplace, too. Grab a drink and check out the entertainment, while staying warm indoors." - Paolo Bicchieri, Dianne de Guzman

"In 2015, a two-alarm fire destroyed the Riptide, a dive bar from the 1940s. The business took over a year to rebuild and reopen." - Eve Batey
