The Mexican bar in the Outer Sunset is fun, casual, and more laid-back than a warm, fog-less afternoon at Ocean Beach. It also happens to be right up the street from the sandy hangout spot and is one of our favorite places to drink, thanks to excellent tequila and mezcal cocktails, solid tacos, a cute patio, and plenty of spread out indoor space. Before you plan a date here, know that Sunset Cantina can get crowded and they don't take reservations. So try to come during off-hours or post up at the bar, which is also never a bad idea.
For something more intimate and romantic (but not too romantic), do a first date at Lone Palm. The casual bar in the Mission is dimly lit by candlelight and blue and pink neon, and dresses up their cozy round tables in white linen. It's also quiet enough that you'll most likely avoid having to repeat, "Wait, what was that?" over and over again - that is, until the late-night crowd comes in and adds a healthy buzz. But even then, Lone Palm is still as chill as they come.
This saloon in the Mission is historic, cozy, and decorated like an old Victorian bedroom. So if you and your date feel like meeting up at a vintage place that feels drenched in bourbon and whiskey, head here. But if not, Homestead is still an awesome, laid-back bar that serves great cocktails, allows you to bring your lush outdoor patio.
