The Interval at Long Now

Favorite cocktail bar , easily. Full of amazing art and science pieces, nothing beats a Navy Gimlet , amazing bartenders , and cool things to look at. The back booth has a great view of the bridge !

Cerebral cocktails in a space that feels like Stewart Brand's houseboat. Best Cuba Libre I've ever had. Get the navy gimlet if you pride yourself on your strong character.

Order a Decanted Mother-in-law, it's a great drink to share. We serve it in an old time apothecary jar, so it's like a little pitcher . Get a double order so there's more to go round!

Cute cocktail list with little facts about the drinks' histories gracing each page. The space on the water is smaller than I thought from the photos, but is filled with interesting things to look at.

Run by the Long Now Foundation, has excellent cocktails , a library , some clock pieces, good talks, and good people.

The apparently cryptic but in fact aptly named I've Grown to Love Life Too Much is a delicious shot of cognac , spiced pear liqueur , crème de cacao , served up with a sparkling wine back. Enjoy!

Off the menu drinks? Hell yes! Of all the bartenders , Allen has a penchant for off the menu drinks and Haley is in the know, too. Ask for the Wonder Lust - you won't be disappointed :D H/T @vmbrasseur

Get a gimlet and gaze at the art that changes above the bar . Off the beaten path but well worth the trek.

A fascinating theme, laid-back vibe, and great Old Fashioneds . Worth checking out, especially since it's a bit off the beaten path.

The Interval is a good place to sit and think about time. Glass beakers of small production spirits float above the bar , and the menu is split into categories that allow exploration of one drink. Read more

Head to The Interval, the Long Now Foundation's cocktail bar , that just might be the best new bar in SF this year. Some favorites: Death in Gulf Stream or The Mother-In-Law. Read more

Chock full of wacky mechanical marvels, books , and art , you might brush The Interval off as a steampunk Ruby Tuesday's, but you might get to hear a smarty-pants seminar while downing their cocktails . Read more

The Decanted Mother in-Law (pictured) was wonderful and the first thing on the menu. Moving on the Tom Collins and Daiquiri #3 are incredibly refreshing.

Amazing cocktails in an incredibly cool setting. Perhaps my favorite bar on the planet!

Oh my god, what a cool spot to just do some thinking. Like having your beverage in the study of a heady draftsman/tinkerer from the 30s.

There are plugs. It's right on water. They serve tea pots and espresso in Heath stuff. Impeccable aesthetics: exposed copper piping in bathroom sink, Thomas Edison style lightbulb clusters on ceiling

Read a book off our shelves. You'll find books on science, history, scifi, literary classics, time, language, engineering , sailing ... and pretty much everything else we call civilization. Read more

Fabulous cocktails and an interesting venue. Has a model of a 10,000 year clock and there is a talk/lecture series on a Tuesday

Great bar with classy decor and interesting cocktails . Check out the long now foundation and their mission while here. Good place to come after BATS improv

A $100 donation, doable via any bartender and a little paperwork, will earn you a pretty nice rare challenge coin. A bit much but what were you about to spend on drinks?

Amazing! An orrery, delicious cocktails , perfect espresso and a stuffed passenger pigeon. What more could you ask for?

Drinking cocktails in a mad scientist's library need no longer be a pipe dream thanks to this stunning new café/bar housed in the Long Now Foundation in Fort Mason. Read more

The Long Now Foundation opened The Interval in its Fort Mason headquarters. Yes, there will be robots, as most stories have reported. You’ll have to wait several months to see them. Read more

Fifty-Fifty Split: gin , dry vermouth , blanc vermouth , orange bitters . A perfect martini .

Start off with a coffee or cocktail before you visit any of our Fort Mason neighbors or a special event at one of the pavilion buildings. Or come here after to discuss what you've done.

Fabulous ambiance, bar tenders, coffee -- plus super interesting people

Big menu, if you're feeling overwhelmed go for a Mezcal old fashioned or the Corpse Reviver. Park in the parking lots outside of Fort Mason because they're free.

Check out our events page so you know what's coming up in our Tuesday night salon talk series--and when you can buy tickets to attend one. Read more

Your IQ will jump significantly just by walking into this cocktail bar .

Amazing cocktail menu , the Decanted Mother-in-Law packs a hell of a punch. Drink carefully ???? end with a Sightglass Macchiato .

Awesome cocktail bar that looks like a science library .! And large choice of rhums !

The smartest bar I've been to. Came in for a drink before our table was ready at Green's; they have their most popular drinks on tap.

Wonderful place for a good cocktail and friend/date catch up. Feels out of the way- but worth the trip.

Great cocktails and tea :) the back room can be a good spot to work

You feel like you are a student in "Good will hunting". Very inspiring place to have a conversation

Awesome bar space; yummy drinks!

Great cocktails , beautiful place to work. Need to pay for parking .

Mixed drinks are great across the board. Wonderful ambience too.

Awesome music and atmosphere

Really cute place, tasty wine , interesting atmosphere. Kinda pricey .

The place to be for smart and interesting: drinks, conversation, location and people. The Daiquiris are particularly tasty!

Whoa get a gimlet or 3 bc they are the best I've tasted

Starting to become one of my favorite bars in the city

Strong cocktails , chill atmosphere. Feel like a grownup.

Awesome combination: science + pub

A super cool bar , made cooler by the “Long now” association. Definitely worth stopping in.

Great little bar with delicious drinks and great decor.

Makes both great coffee and great booze drinks surrounded by one of the prettiest rooms in the area.

Solid cocktails ...plus it's the closest place for a drink when I'm down at Breach Once More Theatre .

Great coffee and decent selection of drinks. You can bring in your own food.
