Description

This famed martini bar offers high-class wallpaper music on the weekends, including lounge piano, easy listening, classical, and some jazz combos. The best stuff comes late on Friday and Saturday nights, when the drinks pour with a heavy hand and the jazz bands blow with a little more gusto.

    This is the bar at the top of the InterContinental hotel. On a clear day there is great views of San Francisco and eerily you can enjoy cocktails and look out at Alcatraz.

  • 2006 | Best Place to Find a Sugar Daddy

    Everyone knows the Top of the Mark for great views, smooth jazz, and overpriced cocktails. But this, the granddaddy of San Francisco hotel bars (which famously refused service to Charles Mingus because he was black), is the perfect place for a single lass to make the acquaintance of an older (read: loaded) gentleman. The bands, usually a parade of slick R&B acts with their fingers on the "Proud Mary" trigger, are well versed in mid-tempo soul numbers that won't irritate his arthritic hip,... More »

  • 2005 | Best Sissy-Drink Bar

    Top of the Mark InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, 999 California (at Mason), 616-6916, www.topofthemark.com When the Top of the Mark opened its 360-degree vistas to the public in 1939, candied violets, pomegranate juice, and lemongrass weren't in your standard bartender's bag of tricks.

  • 2001 | Best Place for a Romantic Spin Around the Dance Floor

    There's something classy about Old San Francisco, something that's worth giving up a place in line at the new dance club. Assuming, of course, that it's romance you're after. The 62-year-old Top of the Mark is just a downright lovely venue, with its panoramic views of the city and classic cocktail tables. Live music wafts from the stage every night of the week, including jazz and swing from some of the city's classic bands, as well as from new faces. Regardless of who's playing, there's... More »
