Mama Shelter's Rooftop
My advice is to check their drink specials online before you go. They have some creative cocktails that are surprisingly affordable during happy hour.
I suggest visiting around sunset. The view is absolutely breathtaking and you’ll get that perfect golden hour lighting for photos!
L.P. Rooftop
Grab a seat near the edge for the best views, but be patient as it can get crowded. I waited a bit, and it was totally worth it!
If you're looking to save some bucks check their social media for any happy hour deals or special events – I scored some amazing discounts.
Don't shy away from asking the bartenders for cocktail recommendations – they know their stuff and can whip up something fantastic based on your taste!
Coit Tower
I think spending some time walking around the gardens before or after visiting the tower is totally worth it. The flowers and sculptures are beautiful and quieter than the tower itself.
My advice is to visit in the morning, like around 9 AM. There were way fewer people, and I got stunning photos without too many strangers in the background.
Don't forget to bring cash for the elevator ride; I didn't realize it was cash-only, which was a bit annoying. Just a heads up so you won't be caught off-guard!
I suggest taking the hike up to Coit Tower instead of driving; the walk is worth it and you'll enjoy the views along the way. Just wear comfy shoes, since the hill is steep!
The Nolen Rooftop Bar
My advice is to check their happy hour specials, they can save you some bucks on drinks. I didn’t realize they had them and missed out!
Spire 73
I recommend going during sunset for the best views and a magical atmosphere. The colors are just breathtaking around that time!
My advice is to dress a bit warmly, especially in the evening; it can get surprisingly chilly up there with the winds.
Mister A's
My advice is to check their happy hour deals if you're looking to save a few bucks. The drinks are great, and you can enjoy the view without breaking the bank.
I suggest getting there early, around 5 PM, to snag the best parking. The area can get pretty packed, and trust me, you don’t want to be circling around looking for a spot!
Cannonball
I think they have a happy hour from 3 to 6 PM, which is totally worth checking out! You can get some delicious drinks for less and enjoy the view at the same time.
Minaret Vista
Dont forget your camera, but also bring a good pair of binoculars. The views are amazing, and you can see distant peaks way better with them! I regretted not bringing mine.
The Montalban
If you're planning to grab a bite, look for deals on local food apps or check out nearby restaurants before heading to The Montalban for better prices.
I suggest checking out any special events beforehand. They sometimes have live performances or screenings that can make your experience much cooler.
