7 Happy hour spots in San Francisco

Guest author: Annika Mattsson

Whether you a San Francisco local or just to visit, it is obviously pretty quickly the city by the Bay is quite expensive. Under the extravagant restaurants and chic lounges, cheap bars can - be found if you know where to look. If you on a budget (or just a cheap drink after work, relax appreciate) no doubt already know the joys of happy hour. After a long day of work or a long day sight seeing nothing winds a day in SF as a cheap cocktail with good friends. I've compiled a list of my favorite happy hours in the city - places where you can enjoy a drink and take in some local color without typical prices in San Francisco. So here you are not certain Order…my 7 happy hours top spots in San Francisco.

1. Sugar, Hayes Valley. Sugar lounge has the unique distinction of being provide only happy hour on the list to the spread of free meals (!) with cheap drinks. Indoor lighting is nice and inviting, the perfect place to meet a friend or an appointment for a drink and a snack. The free appetizers range from teriyaki chicken skewers, chocolate sweet potato French fries covered strawberries and more. You can have your drink on with $3 beers and $5 drinks and you home go hungry not!

2. Fly bar, NOPA and Nob Hill (two locations). Fly bar's happy hour in San Francisco is almost famous. Their happy hour is 7 days a week from 3.30 P.m. to 6: 30, making it the perfect place to hit relaxing after work or on a Sunday afternoon. Enjoy $3 draft beer, Sangria and sake cocktails, while the rotating art check-out, the fly of bar's unique decor makes. Don't forget as well order a pizza during happy hour and absolutely delish half are off. Grab a friend, get some drinks, share a pizza - and go home with much money in your pocket.

3. Olive, fillet/Nob Hill. The fillet is OK, not my favorite neighborhood. In fact, I believe I safely can say that it my least favorite neighborhood. But along the grimy sidewalks and a few blocks north of the Civic Center, a jewel of a Martini bar is called olive. Walk through the door, leave the tenderloin, a stylish bar offers premium martinis hour price for the happy $5, enter Monday through Friday, 5-7. Enjoy a classic olive Martini, or slightly more lenient as the chocolate hazelnut Martini. No matter what decide you wrong with this quality drink offering happy hour prices. Make sure to check out the discounted appetizers and. Their famous wild mushroom and truffle oil pizza is dying.

4. Amy, Russian Hill. As far as wine go bars, Amélie under my favorites in San Francisco. The wine list is extensive, the bar tenders are friendly and the decor is modern with a touch of French elegance. Happy hour during the week, 5: booked, closes a $10-flight from three wines (your choice), together with a small appetizer. The bartender clearly know your wine and are always ready with friendly recommendation. This place is a little crowded later in the night, but in the happy hour place to the relax and enjoy the atmosphere is present. Welcome wine snobs.

5. Elbo room, mission. ELBO room offers "San Francisco's longest happy hour" from 5 to 9 P.m. daily. Draft pints are just $2, all other drinks are $1 off - and the drinks are pretty cheap to start with! Music plays your calendars on a night, so check out, select your favorite genre. It's the kind of place where all night fun can lead a happy hour drink or two a.

6. Madrone art bar, NOPA. Madrone is Web part bar alternative art space, focusing on media of art in rotating installments. This bar is not only aesthetically engaging, but it is also a great place to enjoy happy hour between 4-8 (every day!). Well drinks are only $4, mojitos are $5, and for all you drinkers out there, you can get one PBR for only $2 dollars. The space is filled with comfortable sofas, so feel free to settle in and enjoy the art scene.

(7) The drunk pig, Marina. When I wandered into the tipsy pig to happy hour a few weeks ago I was necessarily looking drink deals. My biggest concern was the nice weather San Francisco use, and I knew that the tipsy pig offers an outdoor patio in the back. It is not uncommon for bars for happy hour on Mondays, so you imagine my surprise may specials nix, when I found that a note at the bottom of the wine list "all bottles half price on Monday from 5 to 7." This is one of the better deals for the Marina, and it gave us the chance to try a more expensive bottle for a much lower price. The deal is only on Mondays, but it's a great way, start your week.

There are many more spectacular happy hours throughout the city, and I encourage you to explore. I chose this 7 bars, specifically because each offers a nice venue, low prices, and (in most cases) some good eating drinking with your discounted. SF is expensive, but it is diverse, meaning that this city has something to offer almost everyone - even those of us on a budget.

Thank you for your well tested info Annika!

A brief introduction to sightseeing in New York

Before you think about once visited for the first time, New York seems almost like an estranged girlfriend. This peculiar familiarity is the city that constant referencing in popular music in the last fifty years and longer will absorb you over the years from film, not to mention TV and magazines - no doubt due to the thousands of pictures. However, there is nothing like the real deal experience. The world's most famous city is now available thanks to the abundance of cheap flights to New York by operators in the flight Centre, perhaps now accessible online like never before.

Once you have reached the Big Apple, passport may a different handy of New York City help to access the city. This pass provides access to six of the biggest attractions in New York and determination saves a significant amount of cash for first timers to check all fields in the standard New York tourist tick list. Are the attractions that include, the Empire State building, the Metropolitan Museum of art, American Museum of natural history, the statue of liberty and Ellis Iceland or circle cruise line and a choice either entrance to the Guggenheim Museum or the top of rock at the Rockefeller Centre platform.
The statue of liberty ranks as perhaps the most iconic symbol of New York and indeed America and preferably by boat tour. Circle line cruise takes a broader sweep, which includes liberty Iceland, but provides a great introduction to the rest of the New York skyline, bring much during a focused tour of liberty and Ellis Islands closer to the famous statue.

Empire building States rivals the statue of liberty as a symbol of the city. The tallest building in the world for over forty years and currently the tallest building in New York, the Empire States building an art deco classic, the outstanding view to the city from the observation decks on the 86th and 102nd floors offers. Note that the queues for entry (there are five!) can stretch around the block in the middle of the day, and so it can to visit consideration in the evening. Alternatively, if you feeling flush you 'to the front of the queue for an additional fee skip'.

The Metropolitan Museum of art is located on the eastern side of other famous New York location, Central Park. Over two million works of art are in the met is one of the world's largest art galleries, and contains something of interest for just about anyone with functional eyesight kept. A walk through the nearby Central Park is now secure enough tourist option, not really the case a above was some decades. Note that like pretty much all parks in major cities, Central Park not so sure whether after dark, because, maybe they are often kept a large crowd which evening shows attendance at part.

Flight Centre provide flights to New York from £ 249, including taxes.
