With its chic, but low maintenance vibe and comfy seating areas, this Hayes Valley lounge attracts a well-heeled assortment of late 20- to mid 30-somethings who come to sip cocktails and chat with friends. Mellow tunes from the bartender's iPod or smooth beats from a guest DJ deliver audible ambiance without deafening sound. Complimentary chocolate kisses and candies displayed in martini glasses and serving plates offer sweet temptation on the long central bar, while an assortment of free savory snacks like fresh veggies and dips occupy a thin counter along the opposite wall.

Tip: In addition to seating areas for couples and small groups on either end of the bar, an intimate alcove in the rear welcomes those looking for a cozy clandestine hideout. The area can only fit a few people and often gets reserved in advance. On weeknights, the bar closes before midnight.
