Fillmore Bars and Clubs

Creeping up the hill past the Western Addition, green trees start to appear and suddenly there are no more people asking for change. This abrupt change in scenery is thanks to a small strip known as the Fillmore. Designer boutiques and upscale stores rule the street during the day but once the sun goes down, the area becomes alive with restaurants and quaint bars. Lower Fillmore near the Western Addition, at the epicenter of Geary and Fillmore streets, is the hot spot for San Francisco's Fillmore district nightlife. The historic Fillmore concert hall still has tour buses and lines out the door while bars like Harry's have modelesque cocktail waitresses serving thirsty patrons shots of Fernet as they watch one of the bar's flat screens. The Fillmore also plays home to funky old restaurants like The Elite Café, a New Orleans style classic hub with arguably the best Bloody Mary in town.
