Amazing views of the city paired with good food and live music . Brunch is hella overpriced, but weekday lunch , dinner , high tea , or cocktails are worth it. Great for dates and special occasions

Amy Matsuno

Yes, the views are awesome. But let's talk about the s'mores - they come with spiced apple marshmallows !! So flavorful and the texture is like soft heavenly pillows .

herm pugay

Pages and pages of martini's ($14), any way it's made. The views , the live bands and the dancing . There's also the small plates with Dungeness crab ($22) and the salmon on a chip .

Rustem Feyzkhanov

Orange canoles are very tasty and is a good addition to martini

Ilya Zaydenberg

They've never heard of the 'Ward Eight' - the discounted cocktail on the check-in special. The cocktail is served at the 'Top of the Mark' restaurant on the rooftop . Lunch there is $79!

Allison Niksich

This is an amazing spot with a breath taking view of the city ! Great cocktails ...didn’t try the food but this would be a great date night

Thomas Corona

I think is the best place to have a meal or dinner in all SF. The view is just breath taking. Reservations are very important so make one

Meaghan H

Great spot to go for a sunset cocktail at the top of the Mark Hopkins hotel to see stunning views of the city . Too expensive for food, so go somewhere else after for dinner .

Tim

Fantastic all round view of San Francisco, good food d and great bar . What more could you want?

Sarah Violet

Really enjoyed the views here! Mussels were amazing! (Although about 1/4 of them weren't opened which I felt was a waste.) Also had the quesedilla sausage cheese dip thing, pretty tasty too.

Brian L

Outstanding view worth a trip, not sure if the vibe or layout of the bar is worth repeat visits. Solidly strong Manhattan though.

FunCheap SF

Enjoy the complimentary wine tastings and watch Father of the Bride at Top of the Mark this summer night. First come, first served so be there early. Tue, 7/8, 5:30-7:70pm. Read more

Not a great place to take pictures. The view is great, but you have to shoot through the windows and there are tables all around them, so you should disturb other people in order to shoot all around.

christina leigh morgan

Best hotel-bar-top view in all of SF with a famous 100+ martini list. Hisotry: bar included in original hotel design, which was drawn && built during prohibition. ;)

Craig Hooley

Great cocktails and vibe with the Saturday afternoon live music . The Okd Fashioned is a great cocktail

Michæl Brett

Get there for 4pm and enjoy a cocktail and the sunset . The elevator will not bring you up till 4, it's on a timer

Michael Davidson

The way to have a view and pay for it. Go on a night with live music to get your money's worth. And a clear sky....duh.

Kai Lo

Great views of the entire city . The champagne brunch is fantastic with fresh food . Definitely go for a special occasion !

Amy Robinson

Great panoramic view of the city . Watch the fog roll in, drink cocktails and listen to the live piano .

Leslie Q

I can't believe that people actually rate this place. It's the most dowdiest; frumpiest and staid place I've ever been to. The only redeeming factor is the great view of the city .

Lauren K

Worth the cover and price of martinis . To die for views , fun love music and dancing , and yummy drinks

Rustem Feyzkhanov

Good Manhattan Martini

Jessica Wood

Food is a bit pricey for what it is..But what you are really paying for is the view ! Absolutely stunning! Also, Mr.Joe was a really nice waiter :)

llonyort .

Great spot for an upscale drink and views of the city and Bay .

Saumil Mehta

Amazing drinks, amazing views . Not douchey at all, which is an added and non-commodity benefit in this part of town . What's not to love?

BarChick

There's a 100 strong Martini list, tarot readings, wine tasting and the view is utterly breath taking. http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/san-francisco/top-of-the-mark

Seth Benson

This corner is where four fucking awesome hotels exist right across from each other, some used to be mansions belonging to the richest motherfuckers in the city way back when.

Alyssa W

You go for the view and to check it off your bucket list - not for the drinks or the (very surly) staff .

Stacy

try lychee martini ! show your key to bartender or pay a $15 cover fee.

William Diaz

There is a cover but worth it for a martini with a view . Ask to seat North or South views .

Cassie P

Use your 4square check in for a reduced martini price with a great view of the city . Very good drinks by the way! !

Shirley Hornstein

On a low fog day you can see above the fog from this venue - super cool! Perfect for an after work drink, or two...

Philip Tam

Wonderful view from top of the hill . Drinks can get pricey at $14 a pop, but they're very good.

Hanna Vysochin

Very cozy , great view and drinks!

Sarahnaut

Snooty service from a rude waiter . If you can put up with that, you'll have great drinks with a wonderful view .

Jim Cannon

Arrive before sunset , get a table by the window, order a cocktail and enjoy the best view in the city

Trae F

Great views of course! Usually a wait to get in on the weekends.

Jess L

Great place to grab a drink and take in the amazing view of SF

Libby

Free wine tasting and movie screenings Tuesday nights in the summer! Come early or prepare for a wait...

Patricio Aguilar

They are offering a wine and food tasting this month featuring Cuvaison Winery . I had the cabernet sauvignon paired with slow braised beef cheeck and it was amazing.

Mark Netoskie

Table by the bar for the best view . Get there early or wait an hour.

ConciergeQ

What drink best reflects San Francisco? John Morris, Andy-"Toy Story": "A gin and tonic...The Top of the Mark at the Mark Hopkins hotel ! It has a spectacular view of downtown San Francisco..." Read more

Maurie Jones

The crab nachos were fabulous along with the view !

Carmen Ibarra

Great view while having a bite and drink

Mark Hill

Breakfast isn't cheap , but you the view is worth it: great way to start your day.

Bubby Brewster

They have gotten rid of the 100 martini menu . Why in the hell would they do that?! Huge disappointment and the stupidest decision in bar history.

Roger Gill

Touristy for sure but great views . A bit dated but the live piano is lovely. Not hip yet still cool.

Pete

One of the best panoramic views of the city .

Smita Gupta

Oven roasted tomato flat bread is phenomenal!! Great mix of flavors!! A must have!!

Lindsey

Great spot to watch the Fleet Week aerial displays. The service isn't incredible but the view is, and there's a good selection of reasonable wines by the glass.
