Zam Zam
There’s no place quite like the 80+-year-old Zam Zam on Haight Street. The Persian Art Deco red-walled interior. The round bar with the antique wooden cash register. The jukebox built into the wall behind you. If a martini is a mood, then Zam Zam puts you in the right one. Pro tip: you can order mini martinis, which means you can have multiples. A martini awaits at the distinctive Zam Zam in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury.

A dim, red-toned, Persian/Arabian Nights–themed dive bar with a curved half-moon bar, classic jukebox, and a slightly dingy, old-school cocktail lounge feel that functions as a neighborhood time capsule focused on stiff martinis.
