Many galleries and events and a restaurant

This place is a great spot for breakfast / snack / coffee in a cozy ambiance. The staff is lovely and the walls are filled with colourful art pieces. 

In the Mission, now as terminally hip as it was formally poor, the St Francis is a greasy good time since 1918. Stuck beautifully in the 50's both aesthetically and menu wise it's Americana in a bun. Dig in.

Reliably divey, with an ample back patio, ill-advertised punk shows and the occasional appearance of dollar oysters.

My favourite low-key bar with art deco fixtures. Don't come here!
