Speakeasy$$$
Local EditionDown a staircase in the basement of the historic Hearst Building, Local Edition fills a former San Francisco Examiner printing-press room with vintage typewriters, yellowed newspaper clippings and dim amber light. A stage in the corner hosts a live band most nights, and the room is big enough for groups but dark and close enough to still feel like a hideout.Book ahead
Craft cocktails$$$
RickhouseA dim, barrel-paneled room built from vintage whiskey staves and charred brick salvaged from pre-1906 earthquake structures, so the walls themselves carry the bar's whiskey obsession. Bartenders in 1920s dress work in front of a library-ladder wall of 400-plus bottles, and candlelit corners in back lean toward quiet pairs rather than big groups.Walk-ins only
Tiki$$$
Pagan IdolThe front room is built like the inside of a sunken ship's hull, with portholes onto projected fish, before it opens into a back room staged as a tropical island under a starry ceiling with a volcano centerpiece. It's full-immersion tiki theater in the middle of the Financial District's office towers.Walk-ins only
