Wildhawk

Wildhawk has some of the best cocktails you can find in the Mission. This place looks like a Victorian salon, and has dark floral wallpaper and cushioned seats if you want to lounge while talking about culturally relevant things with a friend over a gin-based cocktail. It's also sandwiched between Valencia and Mission Streets, but doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic. So it's the perfect bar for having one or two drinks before dinner in the area without having to battle a lot of crowds.
