View Lounge
The Verdict
"Reserve a window for sunset. 39th floor of the Marriott Marquis with picture windows over Yerba Buena and the SoMa skyline. Easier to get into than Top of the Mark."
What you need to know
View Lounge is on the 39th floor of the San Francisco Marriott Marquis at the Yerba Buena end of SoMa. The space is built around picture windows that frame Yerba Buena Gardens and the SoMa skyline. Cocktails are competent and the views justify the elevator ride. Less precious than Top of the Mark, more accessible than rooftop hotel bars.
The Drinks
Solid cocktail menu with classic builds and a few signatures. Wine and beer programs are hotel-bar standard. Bar bites available for snacking.
