Fodor's Expert Review The Riptide

A cozy cabin bar that’s the perfect finale for beachgoers, the Riptide is a surfer favorite, but you don’t have to own a board to feel at home. You’ll find classic beers and good food, all at wallet-friendly prices. There’s live music most nights, often country, bluegrass, honky-tonk, and open mic. Many tourists fooled by San Francisco’s version of summer end up warming their popsicle toes at the bar’s fireplace. Sunday features a bacon Bloody Mary, great for hangovers.
