ABC and the 3 Rs. People always ask where they can get the best cocktails in San Francisco, and rather than rack my brain trying to come up with my top five or ten every time I’m queried, I devised this mnemonic device:
Some of the best cocktails in San Francisco can be found at ABC and the 3Rs:
A- Alembic (1725 Haight Street)
B- Bourbon and Branch (501 Jones Street)
C- Cantina (580 Sutter Street)
R1- Rickhouse (246 Kearny Street)
R2- Rye (688 Geary Street)
R3- 15 Romolo (15 Romolo Place)

I realize this is a hotly disputed topic. Feel free to nominate your favorite SF Cocktail spots in the comments section. Extra points if you fit them into a mnemonic device.
I think this is a good list, mostly because I gave you a much larger one to select from when you were compiling.
In other words, I agree. Though. . . I haven’t been to Alembic for a cocktail in ages.
TSB, you are the best! I am still compiling from that list for a comprehensive directory.
I say these are great, skip rickhouse unless you like to be told what to order
of course there many others here in SF that make some make some great cocktails as well. incl 83 Proof, Tipsy Pig and 5th floor.
