ABV

San Francisco, US

• No.39 North America's 50 Best Bars 2022

Clean, bright and casual, this spot in San Francisco’s Mission district in no way looks like it would become a destination venue. Yet it stands as a well-known hub for food and drink, especially among fans of fusion flavours. With three bartending pals behind its concept, the short drink menu is awash with creative, but equally approachable, cocktails, all of which are categorised by spirit. Beyond ingredients such as grapefruit shrubs, sherry and smoked pear bitters, ABV also has three beers on tap and three draft wines. Swing by after a late show for a bite or two from the small plates section (the soft shell crab tacos are not to be missed). No need to rush, as the kitchen closes at midnight.
