Top of the Mark
What you need to know
Top of the Mark sits on the 19th floor of the Mark Hopkins InterContinental on Nob Hill, opened in 1939 with 360-degree windows that survive intact. The room has hosted San Francisco luminaries, World War II soldiers shipping out from the Pacific, and decades of tourists who came specifically for the view. The 100 Martinis menu is a nod to the bar’s history.
The Drinks
The 100 Martinis menu lists exactly that. Plus a serious classic cocktail program, a wine list with bottles to match the room, and champagne by the glass. Live music several nights a week with a pianist and small jazz combos.
The View
360 degrees, top of California Street’s highest hill. The bay, the bridges, downtown, and the Marin Headlands all visible from the right seat. Sunset is the move.
