I go to the Top of the Mark once a year every year, and it never fails to impress. The cocktails are always some of the best I’ve ever had. The live band is excellent and the ambiance is amazing. Sure the drinks are a bit pricey, but worth every dollar

My wife and I love going here around the holidays. On the first Saturday of every month they have a swing band and dancing in the center of the restaurant. Great views and festive drinks. We’ve made it a holiday tradition!
We used the Sip Savvy app to find a great bottle of wine at a good price. Everything has a decent markup here, but Sip Savvy found the best bottle on the menu for reds was the 2020 Groth Cabernet Sauvignon at only ~1.6x markup. The best white/sparkling on the menu was the Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut Champagne at ~1.9x markup.
Definitely check out this place around the holidays if you have a chance! Expect to wait ~30 minutes for a table, but well worth the wait.

Top of the Mark is an absolute must when in San Francisco. This iconic rooftop lounge has been around since 1939 and still holds all the charm, elegance, and history that made it famous in the first place. From the moment you step inside, the classic decor and sweeping views set the scene. You really feel like you are stepping into a timeless part of the city’s story.
The vibe is refined yet relaxed with soft lighting, live music on some nights, and a mix of locals and travelers soaking in the atmosphere. And the views are truly incredible. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay, the skyline, and even the Marin Headlands on a clear day. Whether you come at sunset or later in the evening, it is absolutely magical.
We ordered the tuna tartare and the steak and both were outstanding. The tuna was fresh and well balanced with great flavor, and the steak was tender and cooked just right. The cocktails were also a highlight. They were thoughtful, creative, and very well made.
Top of the Mark is not just a bar or a restaurant. It is a San Francisco institution that combines history, great food, and unforgettable views all in one place.

Well worth a visit for the views alone. Lively crowd and menu was tasty (apps and desserts only) while you sip on your wine or cocktail. My server Juliana was particularly welcoming and kind. A must do for a special occasion or for visitors from out of town. Recommended!

Incredible time with the loveliest staff. Highly recommend to anyone visiting San Francisco.
Priceless views of the city.
The staff even brought out gluten free bread options with the charcuterie board. So kind.

Been here multiple times, and it never disappoints. I’ve yet to find any rooftop place that has the same ambience as Top of the Mark. This last visit I met a friend for a happy hour drink. It was the holiday season and all the drinks were holiday themed which I thought was cool. It was busy and no reservation, but they still were able to seat us in about 10 minutes. If yoy haven’t been here, its a must go-to! The 360 views of the city from atop Nob Hill in this historic hotel is really something special.

A group of my coworkers and I were staying at the Ritz Carlton Residences (I know!) on a Tuesday night and decided to walk here for some apps and cocktails around 7. It was an uphill walk, so we were hungry! The restaurant is on top of the Intercontinental Hotel, you just go straight to the elevators and push the T button. The hostess greeted us right away, my coworker called beforehand to make a reservation & the hostess happily remembered.
We were seated right by the window on the left side when you walk in, I rec the left side, but can’t really go wrong with either. In the middle is where live music takes place but there was none happening that night. Service was fast and friendly! Miguel was very attentive!
Espresso martini was more coffee than creamy which I can’t complain bc it was so good & strong!
A must are the short rib sliders!! Huge chunks of short ribs then shred perfectly when you bite into them! Also love the shrimp tacos! Those tortillas may be some of the best I’ve had!
The homemade ranch chips were good, not much ranch seasoning but good to snack on while drinking. Margarita flatbread was tasty as well. They also have an asparagus flatbread I want to try next time.
Has an old school rich vibe to the place, carpet floors always give a vibe. Overall a great place w yummy food & drinks. Just like anywhere in SF, it’s pricey! For three drinks & 3 apps for 3 people it was about 141$ including tip. But worth it for a night out!

The Top of the Mark is a high-end restaurant bar ideal for spending an evening with friends and/or loved ones. The space is great for special celebrations, anniversaries or dates. The Top of the Mark features a dancing floor and stage for music bands, a bar, and tables with a 360 degree views of the beautiful city of San Francisco, California.
The Jazz nights with Nick Rossi and tge Swing Four are my favorites.

Birthday dessert at Top of the Mark! This enclosed rooftop experience inside the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins in San Francisco is a must. Cocktails, mocktails, small plates, live music, and incredible views of the city!
We especially loved the Squadron Bottle story! During WII, soldiers would visit the Top of the Mark either as a farewell or a celebration when they came home. During that time, a tradition began. Soldiers would leave a bottle of bourbon with a written note taped around it. A shot was to be shared with fellow soldiers, and whomever took the last shot would have to replace the bottle with a personalized note. This tradition is still going today!
Highly recommended for a romantic evening out!

Gorgeous views, and strong drinks. Thumbs up overall. The food was pretty good. The furnishings were dated, reminiscent of a cheap hotel. For the price, you would expect a nicer interior. The service was friendly and professional overall although a bit slow towards the end when they got crowded. Not sure we will go back too often, but worth visiting at least once.
