Dark walls, banquettes and streetside seating are the perfect setting for the bar's signature drink: the martini. During the week, live jazz and blues lure Mission locals who are more hepcat than hipster, while the weekend's hip hop DJ's attract a bridge-and-tunnel crowd. A seemingly endless martini menu would take a even a serious drinker days to explore, with choices ranging from chocolate mint to a standard gin 'tini with spicy sausage and blue cheese garnish. Thankfully, exotic choices don't mean small servings (each drink is a tall 16 ounces), though no matter how sloppy you get your cocktail is made carefully and served properly.

I've only visited this bar a few times, but every time I went there was something going on and a live band. The drinks are affordable and they have good local beers. The seating doesn't hold a large number of people, but if you're lucky enough to get the outside seating, you can enjoy a lot of the fun antics on Valencia.
