Last night’s Twitter escapades spanned SF’s finest drinking and dining spots, from Southern Pacific Brewing Company and Smuggler's Cove to The Coachman and Tradition.
Southern Pacific Brewing Company
Brewmaster Andy French brings clean flavors to a wide variety of beers. The onsite bar features 21 taps and a range of styles, including porters, IPAs, Belgians, ambers and lagers. Pair the brews with robust bar food like burgers, mac and cheese, fish and chips, pizza and wings. 620 Treat Ave at 19th St.
Smuggler's Cove
With an extensive menu of complex cocktails and an interior worthy of a movie set, it's not hard to understand why Smuggler's Cove is one of the most lauded tiki bars in the world. 650 Gough St between Ash and McAllister Sts.
The Coachman
Bar manager Johnny Codd brings energy and passion with creative riffs on obscure drinks from the early 1900s. The bar itself is a sight to behold: Made from a single, 20-foot-long piece of wood, it stretches the length of the space, offering a comfortable place to imbibe and nosh on Charles Phan's modern British pub fare (steak pie, potted crab and a juicy prime rib). 1148 Mission St between 7th and 8ths Sts.
Tradition
Though it's located in the heart of the gritty Tenderloin, Tradition (from the mix masters behind Bourbon & Branch) is one of the most beautiful bars in San Francisco, with a paneled grandeur that evokes a 19th-century train station. 441 Jones St between Ellis and O'Farrell Sts.
