Take in the view with a cocktail

SAN FRANCISCO has always had a strong cocktail culture. The latest trend is to pair craft concoctions with a stunning view of San Francisco. There are at least three new rooftop bars in the city. 

Guests at the new YOTEL San Francisco can enjoy priority access to their 10th floor terrace, which offers 360-degree views. The new, urbane San Francisco Proper has Charmaine's, set 120 feet above bustling Market Street. It's a great blend of European chic and laid-back California cool. Closer to AT&T Park, Hotel VIA has its exclusive Rooftop at VIA, only available for hotel guests and private events. It features private cabanas , fire pits, heat lamps and sweeping views of the south of the city.
