Vessel

A blast from the city's ostentatious dotcom past - a person could easily spend upwards of $1,000 here on fancy champagne service to impress his or her other half. Still, cruising through this incredibly well-appointed bar early in the evening can be fun (you're guaranteed a long wait in line and the often disapproving scrutiny of the bouncers if you arrive after 10pm), if only to revel in the screeching decadence of San Francisco's monied class.
