2 Best Nightlife in San Francisco, California

Renovated in 2021, this restaurant-microbrewery, on the second floor of a historic building filled with 1930s Works Project Administration murals (on the first floor), has a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. It's open for lunch and dinner, but you may want to time your visit and a drink to coincide with the sunset.

Arrive at least 30 minutes before sunset to beat the dinner crowd.

The house brews are rich and flavorful, and there's a good selection of California wines by the glass.

You'll feel like you're in a cabin in the woods as you relax in an Adirondack chair under a heat lamp, enclosed by the greenery of Golden Gate Park. In addition to serving pub food, such as burgers, salads, steaks, and fish-and-chips, the brewery churns out its own beer. On sunny spring and summer weekend days, there's live music on the lawn. The Park Chalet shares a building with the Beach Chalet—but it isn't waterside, so you won't freeze if it's overcast. There's indoor seating too, but the outdoor seating area is the highlight.
