Bar Drake
Sir Francis Drake Hotel
San Francisco, CA, United States
Located in the lobby of the 1928 iconic Sir Francis Drake Hotel, Bar Drake is known as the patriarch of Union Square bars. Bar-goers are surrounded by ornate architecture, amber lighting, brown leather upholstery, an antique-mirrored bar-back, and an array of scotch and whisky bottles dating back to the 1930's. Mixologist Jacques Bezuindenhout, stands behind a bar made of a single slab of solid walnut. His cocktail menu includes the margarita, made with lime juice, agave nectar and Partida tequila.
Insider Tip:
On cool evenings, try the Heated Affair, a specialty drink of the house made from Partida Añejo Tequila, hot spiced apple cider, and whipped cream.
