Bar Darling

Bar Darling comes from the cocktail geniuses behind spots like Harper & Rye, April Jean, and Peacekeeper—and while we’d happily get a drink at all of them, what sets this Marina newcomer apart is their back patio. The roomy set-up is ideal for spreading out when your going-out group du jour explodes to a dozen or more. And inside, there’s plenty of space to flirt with a stranger over a seasonal cocktail with green bell pepper or white peach honey (or get your pool shark on in the back). Snacky dishes like brie bites, chicken skewers, and sliders are on hand, too.
Unrated: This is a restaurant we want to re-visit before rating, or it’s a coffee shop, bar, or dessert shop. We only rate spots where you can eat a full meal.
Go to April Jean in North Beach for chatty crowds and creative cocktails until 2am any night of the week.
