ABV

ABV is a reference point for San Francisco's cocktail scene, having ranked #36 and #46 on the World's 50 Best Bars list in 2016 and 2017. Its sustained presence across award cycles marks it as a serious, neighborhood-anchored bar rather than a fleeting destination. The room is designed for duration, with seating for pairs and small groups that favors conversation and sightlines to the bar. The program is technically focused, with cocktails organized by spirit. The kitchen serves until midnight daily, and the bar is renowned for one of San Francisco's best burgers. It's open from 4pm to 2am, positioned on a local corridor near 16th Street BART.
