Hi-Lo Club
1423 Polk StGreat low-key bar.
Not a deli. But a bar that’s the size of a closet. If you’re able to get in it’s impossible to leave without making friends with half the bar.

Honestly? The de Young - it’s a horrible museum. BUT they do have the most amazing observation tower that gives you maybe the best 360 view of the city. Definitely worth checking out.
