Jones
The Verdict
"The patio on a warm evening is hard to beat. Sunday drag brunch is the signature experience. Book ahead for brunch."
What you need to know
Jones (officially 620 Jones) sits on Jones Street in the Tendernob area, the transitional blocks between the Tenderloin and Nob Hill. The bar centers on a large patio, which it claims is the biggest in San Francisco. Tropical-themed decor, creative cocktails, and a full food menu make it more than a typical neighborhood bar. Sunday drag brunch has become one of the more popular recurring events in the area.
The drinks
Cocktails lean tropical and creative. The bar runs a full menu from brunch through dinner, and the food is solid enough to make it a destination rather than an afterthought.
The space
The patio is the main draw, especially on warm San Francisco evenings. Indoor seating is available for fog days. The tropical theme is committed but not overwhelming.
Practical info
Cocktails $14 to $18, brunch and dinner entrees $15 to $25. Sunday drag brunch is the signature event; warm evenings on the patio are the other draw. At 620 Jones Street. Powell BART/Muni station is a 5-minute walk. The 27 Bryant and 38 Geary buses run nearby. Street parking is scarce; transit or rideshare recommended.
