"You learned about the Gold Rush and Barbary Coast in the fourth grade, and now you’re finally in the city where the 49ers roamed. Tap into the “ye old” energy at Comstock Saloon. It’s an elegant North Beach/Chinatown cocktail bar that’s existed in some form for over a hundred years. The throwback charm with wooden booths, bartenders in suspenders or vests, and tintype-y photos creates the perfect setting for date night sazeracs and Pimm's Cup, or listening to live jazz on the upstairs stage.
