The block of O’Farrell St. between Jones and Leavenworth in San Francisco looks just like any other block in the upper area of the Tenderloin. The streets are a bit dirty, the buildings are a mix of brick and concrete, and strange people can be found congregating in various spots. Near the end on this block sits a gray mesh fence-like wall next to a gray slab of concrete. This space looks completely inconspicuous and most people would pass it by without a second glance. But inside this nondescript building sits a unique bar.
Rye could easily be mistaken for any other bar in the Tenderloin, but it offers much more. All the cocktails at the bar are made with only fresh ingredients. From the basil to the limes, all the produce used is fresh and sustainably sourced.

Coming in at lucky thirteen is Eastern Standard. Just a few blocks away from Fenway this is not your typical sports bar. Watch for the waitress around midnight to hop on the marble bar and write the specials. The whiskey smash (crushed ice and mint sprig) may sound sophisticated but it will make any game fun.
