North Beach, San Francisco · restaurant
Running since 1882 under the tagline 'Your Neighborhood Drinking Consultants,' The Northstar has become the unofficial home of the Buffalo Bills faithful in San Francisco — and the only bar in the city that pours Labatt Blue. The room stays low-lit and jukebox-loud, the bartenders pour fast, and the sister bar is Shanghai Kelly's two blocks over if you need a second opinion.
