Marina, San Francisco · bar
The scuffed Art Deco interior—jukebox, pool tables, liar's dice, hooks under the bar for your bag—tells you exactly what kind of place this is. Since 1954, the Horseshoe Tavern has proudly called itself "the non-Marina bar in the Marina," pouring $8 margaritas, cheap drafts, and Long Islands with a reputation of their own. It's the rare Marina bar that feels like it predates the Marina itself.
