From the cobblestone floor to the quaint
street lamp and antique Celtic Glass bar, everything at O'Reilly reflects a carefully
cultivated Irish persona- down to the Irish chef and an adorable Irish bloodhound
in the pub's premises! Next stop? Tosca,
on Columbus Avenue. This flamboyant café was sighted in the movie Basic
Instinct and is one of the city's most romantic hot spots, replete with red-leather
booths and a choice of fanciful beverages. Another
hot spot on Columbus Avenue is the heritage-steeped San Francisco Brewing Company.
Check out the Barbary Coast Saloon, established in 1907. Get a taste of San Francisco's
‘infamous' past as you sip on house brews such as ‘Alcatraz Stout'. On
nearby Powell Street, Harry Denton's Starlit Room – perched atop Sir
Francis Drake Hotel - is another great reason to be in San Francisco. Give
in to sensual Motown rhythms as you take in the scintillating view of the San
Francisco skyline- with brightly lit skyscrapers rising dramatically into the
inky sky, festive ferry boats and the star-studded skies above. If you prefer
indoors, you won't be disappointed! The combined magnificence of gilt, mirrors,
resplendent silk draperies and the black marble bar will surely take your breath
away. The famed Compass Rose at the Westin
St. Francis (Powell Street) is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful rooms
in the world. The compass Rose serves lunch, afternoon tea, champagne and caviar.
At nightfall, enjoy the live entertainment as you dig into the distinctive evening
menu. Next, head for York
Hotel (Sutter Street), where you will enjoy the renowned “Plush Room” cabaret
show theater, starring artists such as Rita Moreno, Cybil Sheppard, Michael Feinstein
and Paula West. ‘Get Sporty' at the Union
Square Sports Bar, where you can catch your favorite games or check out sports
memorabilia as you sample a choice of beers- with over 15 varieties on tap and
23 bottled brands. Raise a silent toast to hearty, historic side of San Francisco.
The more things change, the more you
want them to remain the same. <<--Back |
