"You could walk from Comstock Saloon to Mr. Bing’s while holding your breath, so distance is no excuse for your friend to leave. This bar in North Beach looks like a dive, but the liquor selection is much better than that. They also make good classic cocktails like bee's knees. But if Comstock made them want something a little stronger, go to Li Po Lounge for a mai tai, or to Bow Bow to sing karaoke before eventually calling it quits for the night. Eventually." - Will Kamensky
