Yes, this is a San Francisco landmark. I've been going there for years. It's the kind of place where people remember your name. You really have to enjoy one of Richie's cocktails, he's one of the bartenders and he will mix you up something unique. Ask him about his "signature" drink. So many things happen around this chic bar scene, from movies being filmed here, like "Twisted" from 2004. It's not unusual to run into someone like Ashleigh Judd, or Samuel L. Jackson just chillin at the bar. I love this place and I have to get my Tosca fix at least once a month.

Pros: heart of north beach

Cons: parking
