While the mythical and much-hyped liqueur after which this establishment is named is not served here, many equally potent concoctions are. Specialty drinks, such as the Perfect Pear and the Ginger Rogers, seem to contain pure alcohol, and even a standard margarita packs an unbelievable wallop. If you're looking for something to help mitigate the effects of a strong drink, then ditch the regular bar peanuts for Absinthe's bar snacks. This bar offers bread with a smooth fig spread, croque monsieur and more. The menu changes daily, but any antipasto platter of cured meats is sure to please, as will the particularly rich duck confit. You can enjoy your meal in the main room or at a cafe-style table on the sidewalk, but if you're looking for a quieter spot, book a table in the private dining room.
Zeitgeist is a popular bar in the Mission. They make a mean drink here, and you will fit in easily with the crowd, just don't let the profusion of leather and Harleys intimidate you. You do not have to be a biker to feel at home. An outdoor patio with barbecue and live music are all part of the experience. Best of all, you can wake up in the morning and start all over again with one of their famous Bloody Mary's.
De zin die om het blok gewikkeld is zegt het in zijn geheel. Deze plek is heel hip. Vier dansvloeren dansen op de muziek van een aantal van San Fransisco's meest getalenteerde DJs. Eerlijk gezegd, als je hier niet los kan gaan kan je het nergens. Als je binnen komt, kun je je jas inleveren, een drankje halen en je uitleven in de disco/funk ruimte. Beneden is er nog een bar en een DJ die de jaren 80 hits draait. Boven is de VIP lounge met alternatieve muziek, fluwelen banken en mooie mensen die er loungen, betrokken in esoterische gesprekken. Als techno jouw ding is, de rave ruimtes hebben het, compleet met de lichten, kooidanseressen en een rookmachine. Neem de trap naar boven bij de bar naar nog een dansvloer, waar de visuals zo groot als de muur de trip versterken Dit is een van de duurdere clubs van de stad. De ervaring is echter iedere cent waard.
