Rise Over Run
The Verdict
"Go for sunset on a clear day. The solarium is the best seat year-round. Weekend brunch is less hectic than the evening crowd."
What you need to know
The drinks
The cocktail program is craft-focused with an Asian-influenced twist. The food menu runs from small plates to full entrees, blending American and Asian cuisines. Weekend brunch adds another dimension.
The space
The glass-ceilinged solarium is the architectural standout, bright and airy by day, atmospheric at night. The outdoor fire pits provide heat on cool evenings. The rooftop position delivers views that most ground-level bars can’t match.
Practical info
Cocktails $16 to $20, entrees $20 to $35. Sunset on a clear evening from the terrace is the best time to visit. Saturday brunch for a more relaxed pace. At 33 Turk Street, a short walk from Powell BART/Muni. Union Square is two blocks east.
