  • A champagne bar with room after room of subdued lighting and cozy corners.

  • You’re as likely to hear Italian here as you are English, not only from the staff but from the patrons. A friendly atmosphere in which to enjoy an espresso and eye passers-by.

  • Grand Café

    A stylish place to see and be seen, as an addendum to the chic Hotel Monaco. You can sip a cocktail or have a full meal.

  • The bar dates from 1825 and was imported from Ireland. Everything else here evokes the Emerald Isle, as well.

  • A colorful, bustling place where you can get a brew – from coffee to beer – and check your e-mail. A full selection of breakfast and lunch fare.

  • All red and tiny, as the name implies, this joint lures devotees with its classic cocktails.

  • Down a picturesque alley, this winning pub feels very Irish. Tip a Guinness before the 5pm yuppie rush to get the best taste of its friendly vibes.

    Dating back to 1919, this North Beach classic is a favorite with celebrities. The jukebox is full of opera arias.
