San Francisco Giants Game Day: Bars and Restaurants

Opened in 1999, this is one MLB's newest and most state-of-the-art ballparks. Even if you're not a fan of the San Francisco Giants (or any baseball team), you'll definitely be a fan of the sweeping bay views.

Fill the tank with affordable craft beer in cans on the sidewalk patio at this brewpub before heading over to see the San Francisco Giants play--or come even earlier for some solid comfort food in the restaurant.

San Francisco Giants fans pack the house on game days at this upscale American brasserie located just two blocks from the ballpark.

Located directly across from the A&T Park, this New American restaurant's huge front patio is packed with Giants fans sipping beer or waiting for a table.

You won't feel underdressed in your Lincecum jersey and baseball cap at this Western saloon-style cafe with both wine and beer on tap.

It doesn't get much closer than this. Come to this bar and restaurant on Willie Mays Plaza for stellar pub grub and your choice of 100 drafts--all of which can be taken into the ballpark (and cost a lot less than the concession stands).

An offshoot of Momo's down the block, this cavernous sports bar has a huge horseshoe-shaped bar for speedy service--plus downright delicious nachos.

A pinch dressier than other bar-restaurants near the AT&T Park, Nova is the perfect spot to hit for a pre-game cocktail before an evening game when you haven't had a chance to change out of your office gear before the game.

As divey as sports bars get around these parts, Zeke's is a well-worn and comfy spot for cheap beer and adequate bar food, including beer-boiled bratwurst. Who can argue with that?
