San
Francisco, CA -- If you missed the story
about San Francisco ranking more 4 diamond restaurants
than any other city in California, then you still have
time to check out this one. Happy Hour begins afternoons
when the fog rolls in and friends cozy up to a cocktail
lounge where really great appetizers, menu items and
drinks are served at amazing discounts at many San
Francisco hotels. The San Francisco Convention and
Visitors Bureau (SFCVB) compiled a list (though they
didn't admit to sampling & sipping, or performing their
own Diamond rating tests,) of places us tourists and
locals should check out when checking into the city by
the bay.
These offers are subject to
change but as of this posting, are fairly accurate and worth
a visit just to write your own analysis:
