This is the one spot that is an authentic San Francisco institution, semi-hidden among all the touristy joints at Pier 39. I say semi-hidden, which it is, but it's just to your left and on the top level as you enter -- so it's not hard to find (just rather non-descript). Get a burger and a beer and relax away from the hordes of out-of-towners. And the prices are virtual bargains -- especially for down at the wharf.
Pros: Free of tourists
