- Sabina B.September 9, 2014Amazing views of the city paired with good food and live music. Brunch is hella overpriced, but weekday lunch, dinner, high tea, or cocktails are worth it. Great for dates and special occasions
Amy MatsunoJanuary 21, 2014Yes, the views are awesome. But let's talk about the s'mores - they come with spiced apple marshmallows!! So flavorful and the texture is like soft heavenly pillows.
herm pugayDecember 21, 2014Pages and pages of martini's ($14), any way it's made. The views, the live bands and the dancing. There's also the small plates with Dungeness crab($22) and the salmon on a chip.
Ilya ZaydenbergMarch 16, 2014They've never heard of the 'Ward Eight' - the discounted cocktail on the check-in special. The cocktail is served at the 'Top of the Mark' restaurant on the rooftop. Lunch there is $79!
Allison NiksichMarch 15, 2019This is an amazing spot with a breath taking view of the city! Great cocktails...didn’t try the food but this would be a great date night
Thomas CoronaNovember 30, 2015I think is the best place to have a meal or dinner in all SF. The view is just breath taking. Reservations are very important so make one- Meaghan HOctober 20, 2018Great spot to go for a sunset cocktail at the top of the Mark Hopkins hotel to see stunning views of the city. Too expensive for food, so go somewhere else after for dinner.
Fantastic all round view of San Francisco, good food d and great bar. What more could you want?
Sarah VioletOctober 24, 2012Really enjoyed the views here! Mussels were amazing! (Although about 1/4 of them weren't opened which I felt was a waste.) Also had the quesedilla sausage cheese dip thing, pretty tasty too.
Brian LJanuary 10, 2019Outstanding view worth a trip, not sure if the vibe or layout of the bar is worth repeat visits. Solidly strong Manhattan though.
FunCheap SFJuly 7, 2014Enjoy the complimentary wine tastings and watch Father of the Bride at Top of the Mark this summer night. First come, first served so be there early. Tue, 7/8, 5:30-7:70pm. Read more
Gabriele 肉August 10, 2014Not a great place to take pictures. The view is great, but you have to shoot through the windows and there are tables all around them, so you should disturb other people in order to shoot all around.
Best hotel-bar-top view in all of SF with a famous 100+ martini list. Hisotry: bar included in original hotel design, which was drawn && built during prohibition. ;)
Craig HooleyJuly 9, 2023Great cocktails and vibe with the Saturday afternoon live music. The Okd Fashioned is a great cocktail
Michæl BrettNovember 25, 2015Get there for 4pm and enjoy a cocktail and the sunset. The elevator will not bring you up till 4, it's on a timer
Michael DavidsonMarch 8, 2015The way to have a view and pay for it. Go on a night with live music to get your money's worth. And a clear sky....duh.
Kai LoJanuary 5, 2015Great views of the entire city. The champagne brunch is fantastic with fresh food. Definitely go for a special occasion!
Amy RobinsonAugust 28, 2014Great panoramic view of the city. Watch the fog roll in, drink cocktails and listen to the live piano.
Leslie QMay 24, 2012I can't believe that people actually rate this place. It's the most dowdiest; frumpiest and staid place I've ever been to. The only redeeming factor is the great view of the city.
Lauren KNovember 16, 2014Worth the cover and price of martinis. To die for views, fun love music and dancing, and yummy drinks
Jessica WoodAugust 30, 2014Food is a bit pricey for what it is..But what you are really paying for is the view! Absolutely stunning! Also, Mr.Joe was a really nice waiter :)
Saumil MehtaNovember 24, 2012Amazing drinks, amazing views. Not douchey at all, which is an added and non-commodity benefit in this part of town. What's not to love?
BarChickAugust 22, 2013There's a 100 strong Martini list, tarot readings, wine tasting and the view is utterly breath taking. http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/san-francisco/top-of-the-mark
Seth BensonSeptember 26, 2013This corner is where four fucking awesome hotels exist right across from each other, some used to be mansions belonging to the richest motherfuckers in the city way back when.
Alyssa WJune 15, 2017You go for the view and to check it off your bucket list - not for the drinks or the (very surly) staff.
William DiazMarch 13, 2015There is a cover but worth it for a martini with a view. Ask to seat North or South views.
Cassie PJuly 17, 2013Use your 4square check in for a reduced martini price with a great view of the city. Very good drinks by the way! !
Shirley HornsteinApril 18, 2012On a low fog day you can see above the fog from this venue - super cool! Perfect for an after work drink, or two...
Philip TamMarch 4, 2015Wonderful view from top of the hill. Drinks can get pricey at $14 a pop, but they're very good.
Jim CannonMarch 24, 2013Arrive before sunset, get a table by the window, order a cocktail and enjoy the best view in the city
SarahnautSeptember 1, 2014Snooty service from a rude waiter. If you can put up with that, you'll have great drinks with a wonderful view.
LibbyJuly 31, 2013Free wine tasting and movie screenings Tuesday nights in the summer! Come early or prepare for a wait...
They are offering a wine and food tasting this month featuring Cuvaison Winery. I had the cabernet sauvignon paired with slow braised beef cheeck and it was amazing.
ConciergeQMarch 10, 2011What drink best reflects San Francisco? John Morris, Andy-"Toy Story": "A gin and tonic...The Top of the Mark at the Mark Hopkins hotel! It has a spectacular view of downtown San Francisco..." Read more
Mark HillApril 27, 2013Breakfast isn't cheap, but you the view is worth it: great way to start your day.- Bubby BrewsterJuly 29, 2019They have gotten rid of the 100 martini menu. Why in the hell would they do that?! Huge disappointment and the stupidest decision in bar history.
Roger GillAugust 1, 2013Touristy for sure but great views. A bit dated but the live piano is lovely. Not hip yet still cool.
Smita GuptaDecember 1, 2013Oven roasted tomato flat bread is phenomenal!! Great mix of flavors!! A must have!!
LindseyOctober 10, 2010Great spot to watch the Fleet Week aerial displays. The service isn't incredible but the view is, and there's a good selection of reasonable wines by the glass.
