Visitors & locals alike toast Kerouac et al. amid Beat-era memorabilia at this North Beach icon.

“It’s a pseudo-secret, just above the bustling scene at China Live, accessible via stairwell; black bats painted on the walls lead the way to the door. Inside is a swanky, Scotch-filled bar where the bartenders wear tuxedos, and the vibe is modern Shanghai with a dash of old school San Francisco. Drinks are heavy on the Scotch, and there are many to choose from, so don’t be shy.” EaterSF

Named after San Francisco's notorious 19th-century red-light district, Devil's Acre sits on the very path where vice & revelry once ruled North Beach. Today, we've traded opium dens for an apothecary-inspired cocktail bar where craft libations meet history. Step into our dimly lit space where medicinal botanicals line the shelves and expert bartenders prescribe the perfect remedy. Live music and DJs Thursday-Saturday keep the spirit of old San Francisco alive.

Back-alley oasis teaming drinks, tapas & bar bites with a jukebox & a sultry vibe.

The Comstock Saloon occupies an historic space at the crossroads of North Beach, Chinatown, and Jackson square. Restored to its original glory in 2010, Comstock is truly the last standing bar in the city’s notorious Barbary Coast. In addition to classic cocktails and fine spirit, the saloon serves delectable dinners and the infamous Free Lunch on Fridays. We proudly host live music and pride ourselves for our lively atmosphere and professional service. Join us for a Martini and steak dinner or a pint of beer and some laughs!
