Description
With its adobe walls, red-tile roof, and tiny titular belfry, the Bell Tower may look (faintly) like an old California mission, but its tennis-togged Russian Hill clientele are more apt to opt for a bloody Mary than sacramental vino. Part sports bar, part restaurant, and all-around neighborhood hangout, the place offers a little bit of everything: a fun, friendly, rollicking vibe; pooch-friendly outdoor seating; and a menu that includes top-flight burgers, pulled-pork sandwiches, fish and chips, seared ahi, steamed mussels, and escargots. The espresso-infused vodka makes an especially invigorating tipple.
