"This quintessential (read: eclectic) San Francisco nightspot offers art, music, cocktails and conversation, all under one roof. When I want to get the cultural lowdown on what’s going on in SF, I come to this in-the-know venue where I’ve seen everything from solo photography exhibits by up-and-coming locals to impromptu jazz and toe-tapping alt-country shows to boisterous spoken-word performances. Best of all, 111 Minna sits in lively SoMa (South of Market), which throngs with revelers come nightfall. My friends and I usually join in with the crowds to enjoy late-night martinis – shaken not stirred – until the wee hours."
