San Miguel beer - Parrots Pub
Omg, this spot was SO perfect for people watching. Calle de Marques de Montroig is centrally located and packed with all kinds of pedestrians visitng from everywhere. It was also nice to take a break from walking around and to cool down in the shade with some beer. I thought it was awesome that they served Filipino beer, so we had to order some! 🙂

Manhattans - The Blue Lounge
With Bulleit bourbon. We came here randomly one evening and it was pretty dead. The lady bartender was REALLY nice and accommodating though and she did a good job on the Manhattans. We had arrived pretty early so towards the end of our visit the nightly DJ had begun setting up his station. Playing a few games of pool was fun, but their table was on a slant so the balls never really did want you wanted them to do.

The Big Unit cocktail - Hi Tops

Tito’s tequila, lemon, elderflower, champagne. $10
Hi Tops, San Francisco CA

Meh, I’m kinda tired of the specialty cocktails at Hi Tops. The ingredients usually sound great, but somehow the actual cocktails are usually a letdown. This cocktail was too tart and had no body, ugh!

Maker's Manhattan - Trax

Maker’s Mark bourbon, sweet vermouth, bitters. $7.50
Trax, San Francisco CA

I’ve often heard my New York friends refer to San Francisco as a drinking town, and I think they’re probably right. Our bars are generally more crowded at any time of day than anywhere else I’ve visited. And people are actually drinking and not just hanging out. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but I’d rather walk into a occupied bar than an empty one.

Old fashioned - Lily Bar & Lounge

Knob Creek whiskey, sugar cube, angostura bitters, soda water. $14
Lily Bar & Lounge, Las Vegas NV

I really liked this lounge! The service was great (and super sexy) and the drinks were nice and neat. Lily had a wonderful laid back vibe even with the many posers (or maybe they added to the overall experience?).
