SFist • July 22, 2016The grand, homey patio at El Rio is home to one of the biggest monthly dance parties in town. Their Margaritas and Palomas are good and strong, they sell $2 Tecates, and the bartenders are cool.

Shagun A. • February 14, 2015Great fresh pastries. Had the almond croissant. The blueberry scone is more like a muffin or cake like consistency. Great patio in the back

Molly H. • November 27, 2019Side Terrace tix are the best (and often the cheapest!)

Aaron C. • July 26, 2014On The Embarcadero, checkout the marketplace, Blue Bottle Coffee and Pepples Donuts. People watch as workers come and go on the ferries and rush hour time. Great bay views and outdoor dining fun.

Courtney K. • October 8, 2013My favorite Blue Bottle kiosk nicely hidden on Linden Street. Nice to stand in line and sit on a near bench sipping your favorite blue bottle coffee on sunny days :)
