Cliff House, San Francisco
Cliff House
1090 Point Lobos Ave., San Francisco, CA 94121
(415) 386-3330 | CliffHouse.com
Cursery research indicates that an erotic combination of sulfur, seaweed sex, and fish food is responsible for that alluring scent of ocean beaches. And while science doesn’t describe it with quite the glamour of a fog-cloaked poet, there’s something to be said about breathing in fresh seaside air while enjoying a bloody mary served cliff side. As the winner of the best traditional bloody mary at the 2015 SF Bloody Mary Fest, Cliff House is the place for just such an experience.
Why go? Ocean air with a view. | Price: $10

If I had a hot date, I’d take them to brunch at Waterbar. I’d also try to avoid ogling the super cute bartenders. But that’s neither here nor there. I’d order a dozen chef selected oysters and of course, The Ultimate Bloody Mary. Your date, my imaginary date, would be presented with a fresh platter of oysters shucked to order and a massive tomato based cocktail spiked with three ounces of Ketel One vodka, two giant prawns, two strips of bacon, a cucumber slice to hold it all together, and a signature house-made Old Bay seasoned rim. Trust me.
Why go? Hot date approved. | Price: $24
