Mars Bar & Restaurant, San Francisco

Mars Bar & Restaurant is definitely the place for the hard working crowd in SoMa . Everyone in this bar is single, gorgeous, and friendly. Do not be fooled by the stern doorman, once you get past him, it is all smiles and hospitality. Drinks are tall, strong, and served fast, even when the place is jammed. The back patio is perfect for relaxing in the shade, but don't expect to get too much personal space. Settle down in an overstuffed booth, order a basket of French fries, and groove to the Motown tunes while you people watch. Later, shoot some pool or throw some darts. This is the kind of bar you can visit alone because you will not stay that way for long. Live music of various kinds is thoroughly enjoyable at the bar. Only the bar is open on Saturdays, visit website for more information.
