Cocktail bar

Why we point you here

Smuggler's Cove charted on the World's 50 Best Bars list for six consecutive years, landing at No.

29 in 2016—the kind of credential that should point you to San Francisco's Tiki scene. Worth building a night around, this is where serious cocktail craft meets tropical escapism, and it's absolutely worth the detour when you roam through the city.
