This high-brow bar/lounge is unlike the typical dives that populate the Tenderloin. Its snacking options include ceviche calamari, whitefish-guacamole tacos, gorgonzola-stuffed tempura olives, and half a dozen thin-crusted pizzas (opt for the wild mushroom-truffle oil).

Regulars really swoon for Olive's 5-7 p.m. weekday happy hour, when they can buy house cocktails for $5 and pizzas for $8.

Located on the frayed fringes of the Tenderloin, Olive offers some of the biggest and best martinis in S.F. Enter through the thick wooden door, leave the savage workday behind, belly up to the unusual concrete bar, and order one of the sizable $5 happy-hour martinis. After a couple of sips, the copper-colored glow of a well-made martini will fill your psyche and have you declaring your sloppy love for just about everyone and everything in your vicinity. But, this bar is not just for lushes.... More »
