Yerba Buena Gardens is full of gems hidden in plain sight. Two spots worth discovering time and again are two of our favorites. Especially for Happy Hour.

  1. | B Restaurant + Bar
  2. | Samovar Tea Lounge

They offer dramatically different, yet unique experiences to mingle, dine, drink and relax. What they share can’t be experienced anywhere else in the City.

SF skyline view with lush gardens at your feet.

Both venues open to an outdoor rooftop terrace perched atop the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and Waterfall overlooking Yerba Buena Gardens. Complete with panoramic skyline views in the heart of the City’s cultural district, these great places to eat, drink or just hang out are steps away from the only green, open space and lush gardens in downtown SF.

Two tasty options to consider.
