Pied Piper Bar and Grill

Every city needs a bar that remembers her history, and San Francisco's Pied Pipe does just that. Taking its name from the famous Maxfield Parrish painting that adorns the bar, the Pied Piper, located in the historic Palace Hotel, is popular with travelers and locals alike. Drinks are pricey but the atmosphere can't be beat. If you're in the mood for a cocktail, try the classic Boothby Cocktail, named after William Boothby, a former bartender at Pied Piper. He was an original "mixologist" before the term became uber-hip. Speaking of beating the trends, if you're in the mood for a beer, sample the crisp and clean Pied Piper Bock.
