With a low-key vibe and old-school Western feel, the Homestead is a great local spot in the heart of the Mission District. The pet-friendly bar is perfect for a relaxed drink with your pals after a long day at work. There's a great selection of beers - mostly Californian brews - on tap and an innovative cocktail menu. The vintage decor lends the pub a cozy feel that's perfect to wind down with a drink and conversation on a rainy afternoon.
A curious cultural exchange takes place here. Once an English-style pub, the present owners have infused it with an Asian touch that makes for an interesting mix. Darts are played below Eastern art. A jukebox plays artists from both hemispheres. Champion League games are played during the week. Come in for a drink and enjoy two continents, the prices vary. Chelsea Place is an ideal destination where you can spend a quality time with long lost friends. Call for further details.
The Wipeout Restaurant, located on the left side of 39 Pier, is a charming beach-themed restaurant. This combination restaurant and bar serves seasonal seafood and cocktails.

From the outside, Fish Bowl Bar & Grill is an attractive brewpub, blue with red trim and nifty tile accents. The interiors reflect an aqua theme with seashells and mermaids adorning the walls and lending an almost dreamy quality to the place. Inside, the focal point for the hip and trendy crowd is the beer, all micro brewed, with more than ten varieties on tap. Beer lovers flock here and not just to sample the ale, but this place also happens to be one of those low-key bars intimate enough for a date. The singles scene is very much alive and many a romance is forged over the rim of a pint glass. Please call for further information.
Zeitgeist is a popular bar in the Mission. They make a mean drink here, and you will fit in easily with the crowd, just don't let the profusion of leather and Harleys intimidate you. You do not have to be a biker to feel at home. An outdoor patio with barbecue and live music are all part of the experience. Best of all, you can wake up in the morning and start all over again with one of their famous Bloody Mary's.
The rum and fruit juice formula of a faux tropical nightspot goes happily unquestioned at this undergraduate dive, although the only sand here has been dragged in from Ocean Beach by sneaker and sandal treads. Regulars come here to get drunk, dance and romance and they have a great time doing it. Those who like easy parking will be pleased, and those concerned with Polynesian authenticity should keep driving.
