The best bars and cafés Côte Ouest Etats-Unis

In front of the BART station, a brick building where you can come for a drink or a very good pizza or a big salad while listening to a live band. The program extends all week long, and is rather jazz oriented. Its main asset? The beer garden style outdoor patio, heated in winter and sunny in summer. The best place to remake the world while sipping your glass. On the menu: delicious craft beers, alternative drinks and good bottles of wine.

One of the best bar-restaurants in the heart of downtown. Specializing in original and delicious cocktails, the bar offers live music five nights a week, information regularly updated on the site about this. To test: theirOld School Bloody Mary. Excellent welcome and relaxed atmosphere in an intimate setting reminiscent of speakeasy style bars! Indeed, the place and the menu would be a reminiscence of the 20's. An address to remember to start your festive evenings in Sacramento.

On Hayes Valley's bustling square, you'll find this little wooden shack that offers a wide selection of cold-pressed juices (often from vegetables), and is a must for locals. After a jog or for an energizing and sunny break, succumb to the delicious green elixirs, cleverly dosed and packed with vitamins. Ginger, turmeric or even celery juices are yours! Last but not least: in addition to being good, these juices are excellent for your health. They are even particularly recommended for people with a fragile liver.

In the movie Coyote Girls, sexy barmaids dance on the bar, taking gentlemen's heads between their legs and sticking a bottle of booze in their mouths. The Coyote Ugly tries its hand at this game! Also worth noting is the decor, with dozens of bras hanging from the ceiling - beware of a stiff neck! Like most Las Vegas clubs, the Coyote Ugly offers numerous theme nights throughout the year, including a Halloween costume contest. The club can accommodate up to 350 guests.

It is a real institution in San Francisco and one of the favorite bars of the locals. The specialty of the Buena Vista is theIrish coffee, invented here in 1952 by the bar's owner Jack Koeppler and Stanton Delaplane, a journalist from the San Francisco Chronicle. A mixture of hot coffee, whiskey and cream, the recipe has never changed, but has spread all over the world. And the waiters of the Buena Vista Café have served, according to the house accounts, more than 30 million Irish Coffee. To be tasted in its original version!

This is the historic North Beach bar, located next to Lawrence Ferlinghetti's legendary City Lights Bookstore. Founded in 1948, it was frequented by a number of Beat Generation celebrities including Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Neal Cassady, as well as Bob Dylan and Francis Ford Coppola. Cosy decor with walls lined with paintings, posters and photos. Perfect to immerse yourself in the bohemian atmosphere of the early 60s. To complete the picture, the pedestrian alley shared with City Lights is called Jack Kerouac Alley.

This tiny, exotic bar, where tiki kitsch reigns - a fashion inspired by Hawaiian style in the 1950s - has been around since 1961. Nothing, or almost nothing, has changed: the cocktails - for which the recipes have always been the same - are fruity and devilishly measured, the glasses are carved from fake totem poles, and smoking was still the order of the fifties until recently. Around the counter, loaded with gurgling fountains and figurines of mermaids and wahines, are many aficionados of the tiki style, looking as if they'd stepped out of an old Hollywood film.

S Bar (Mandalay Bay) welcomes you to a cosy, chic setting. This establishment offers a variety of lounge experiences with copper tones, luxurious drapes, plush seating and a polished black marble bar adorned with iconic artworks by Terry O'Neill, one of the world's most collected photographers. The S Bar offers a few dishes if you're feeling a little hungry, but it's above all the many spirits, cocktails (with a few house specialties) and other wines that will seduce you.

The Museum Club is an icon in Flagstaff. It was a certain Dean Eldredge, taxidermist, who created this large wooden cabin in 1931. When he died, many of the naturalized animals were sold. Nevertheless, some of them still remain and are still admired by customers. Over the years, this establishment has been bought by music lovers. People come here to have a drink and listen to jazz or country music in a typical American West atmosphere. The establishment is part of the historical sites of the 66.

Two large brick walls and a high wooden ceiling, where a fan turns, identify this wide space. You'll love yourself in one of the leather chairs to enjoy the break and coffee, or even a pastry. The atmosphere is relaxed, with gentle jazzie music, which invites to a part of chess or a Zen reading.

This veritable Ali Baba tavern has a thousand treasures. We could spend hours contemplating unpleasant objects hanging on walls and ceiling. If you have a small creux, you'll have to dare to enter the belly of a big cardboard bear. In the evening, a few nostalgic nostalgic of the legendary Easy Rider in this pub used to be used as a backdrop to the first scenes of the film.

Small coffee where you will find fresh and fresh drinks. Free internet access.

It's the trendy place to get a drink.

Opened in 1956 by the Giotta family, Caffe Trieste is a must in North Beach. The coffee is roasted on the spot in the purest Italian tradition, it is certainly one of the best espressos in the city. Jack Kerouac and Allan Ginsberg frequented the place in the 60s and it was here that Francis Ford Coppola wrote the script for the movie The Godfather. San Franciscans take Trieste by storm day and night, so try to sit among them to share the Italian atmosphere of the neighborhood!

Bourbon & Branch is a cocktail bar. It offers a unique experience, immersing you in the atmosphere of the 1920s, during the Prohibition era. This speakeasy, which operated illegally at this address from 1921 to 1933, transports you back in time with its period decor and atmosphere. Please note that Bourbon & Branch has a few rules to maintain the "speakeasy" atmosphere: it's forbidden to use your cell phone, stand at the bar, ask for a "cosmo", take photos and make noise when leaving the establishment. Cocktail enthusiasts will be delighted to discover the bar's selection of quality spirits, as well as the mixology courses offered at the Drinks Academy.

Here is a bar as we like them, in the heart of Haight. Discreet entrance that opens on a sea of red around a horseshoe-shaped bar. The decoration is old-fashioned but funny, a surprising mix of old Persian fresco and American style juke-box from the 1950's very well supplied with old school sounds. Finally, a relaxed atmosphere perfect to have a cocktail, then another one and to mingle quite naturally with the regulars of the house... Bonus: a real old school jukebox full of good old pop/rock classics!

Other North Beach institution, Tosca Café is a old school bar with white catering, jukeboxes and retro cocktails. Apparently Sean Penn is a habit when he is in San Francisco, just like Coppola. A history-steeped establishment that would imagine being the headquarters of the North Beach mafia.

A must in San Francisco with an extraordinary panoramic view of the city! On the 19th floor of the sumptuous Mark Hopkins Hotel (Intercontinental), 100 martini-based cocktails, with a jazz and blues concert background. On Sundays, an excellent brunch with champagne and music (prices are also high). This is where the wives of the sailors of the Pacific fleet used to come to see the departure of the ships in the bay when they were leaving for the war against Japan. Today, it is a famous place for marriage proposals.
