Stookey's Club Moderne

Top choice in San Francisco


Dangerous dames lure unsuspecting sailors into late-night schemes over potent hooch at this art-deco bar straight out of a Dashiell Hammett thriller. Chrome-lined 1930s Streamline Moderne decor sets the scene for intrigue, and wisecracking white-jacketed bartenders shake the stiffest Corpse Reviver cocktails in town. Arrive early to find room on the hat rack for your fedora, especially on live jazz nights.

Ready to live even more dangerously? Cocktails are $7 from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, and there's also a late-night happy hour.
