Mikkeller Bar

This Tenderloin haven is a beer-lover’s mecca with brews for every taste, from fruity and sweet to dark and hoppy. The high-ceilinged, exposed brick bar is industrial-cool, decked with playful murals by Keith Shore. The 40 taps are stocked with interesting ales (particularly sours), and limited-edition collaborations appear on the menu regularly. The 80-seat space is sexy, but laid-back, with plenty of room to circulate between the main bar, front lounge, and downstairs cellar room. But the focal point is the 30-seat, four-sided bar: ideal for scoping out alluring strangers. You’ll find small, slightly secluded seating areas for cozying up or open communal tables for toasting with newcomers.
