Bimbo's 365 Club

North Beach & Chinatown


Get your kicks at this 1931 speakeasy with stiff drinks, bawdy vintage bar murals, parquet dance floors for high-stepping like Rita Hayworth (she was in the chorus line here) and intimate live shows by the likes of Beck, Talib Kweli, Chris Isaak and Nouvelle Vague. Dress snazzy and bring bucks to tip the powder-room attendant – this is a classy joint. It's 21+; two-drink minimum; cash only.
