5. 15 Romolo
Opened in 1998 beneath the Basque Hotel boardinghouse, this sidestreet joint stirs a mean menu of cocktails and throws its tasty “Punch Drunk” brunch every weekend. Awesome blend of stepped-up drinks and a jukebox sensibility. 15 Romolo Place 15romolo.com
6. Spec's Twelve Adler Museum Cafe
This old radical speakeasy is beloved for the unionized bartenders and its oddball collection of curiosities, including cocktail napkin art, seafaring stuff and a fake sarcophagus mimicking owner Richard “Specs” Simmons. 12 Williams Place
7. Caffe Trieste
Since 1956, Papa Gianni Giotta and family have welcomed artists, writers and neighborhood folk with house-roasted espresso, concerts, and the best sidewalk seats in North Beach. 601 Vallejo St. caffetrieste.com
