Noc Noc

Top choice in The Haight & Hayes Valley


Who's there? Steampunk blacksmiths, anarchist hackers, trance DJs practicing for Burning Man, and other San Francisco characters straight out of an R Crumb comic, that's who. Happy hour lasts until 7pm daily with $4 local drafts (no PBR here), and hot sake is $1 after 10pm – but mixing black-and-tans with potent house sake will Noc-knock you off your junkyard-art stool.
