Blackthorn Tavern, San Francisco

With its log-cabin walls and no-frills atmosphere, Cabin calls to mind the relaxed vibe found in secluded vacation spots across the United States. However, this backwoods aesthetic belies some decidedly urban amenities. Sporting 12 taplines, more than 35 whiskeys, and a bank of LCD televisions, the bar welcomes guests searching for a cozy place to converse, celebrate, or simply watch the game.
