Welcome to part 2 of our Hip Guide to Drinking in San Francisco . If you haven't seen part 1 yet, read this first.

Harlot
Location: 46 Minna (SoMA)
You won't find many L.A. type clubs in San Francisco, (and that's a good thing), but Harlot does a good job with the "velvet rope" concept in the SOMA part of town. House music, bottle service, and enough cleavage to give a guy a sore neck.

Americano Bar
Location: 8 Mission St. (South Beach)
Located inside Hotel Vitale, Americano brings a kind of style and class that sets it apart from many of the other places you might choose for that happy hour drink after work. Frequented by business types and dot comers looking to network as well singles looking to do their own style of networking, Americano is a bustling hot spot that is worth a stop.

Slide Speakeasy
Location: 430 Mason St. (Union Sq.)
Underneath Ruby Skye near Union Square, a somewhat new swanky bar named Slide recently opened its doors. Modeled after the speakeasies of the prohibition era, Slide is dark, swanky and always packed. It also happens to be the only bar in San Francisco where you can literally ride a slide down to get in.

Cantina
Location: 580 Sutter St. (Downtown)
As the new kid on the block in the Union Square area, Cantina bar and lounge is raising a few eyebrows all over the neighborhood. As the replacement for a slightly less appealing lounge, this new hot spot has really shown what a splash of paint, Latin inspired décor, and a determined set of partners can do!
