natesfirewife Posted September 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We booked the Night Tour to Alcatraz. I wanted to find somewhere close by to have some appetizers/cocktails. What is your favorite place to go close to the pier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nna Posted September 16, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2012 walk through and find snacks..or cocktails somewhere inside. very nice. be sure and have warm coats with you...it can be cold on the bay and on alcatraz at night. winds straight in the golden gate.

sassystyxfan Posted October 19, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Pier 23 Cafe is good...they have great bloody mary's and it's a good San Francisco locals place. Outside seating by the bay as well if it's a nice day. I always take a jacket to the City tho. You just never know. Can be beautiful all around the City but the foggy days can make all the difference in the world :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted October 19, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2012 A fun place is the Ferry Building. I would definitely go there and it is relatively close to the pier and also close to where you'll meet the tour. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skandls Posted December 15, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Slanted Door in the Ferry Building - if you can get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy H Posted January 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hillstone is across the Embacradero, and down a couple of blocks... http://www.hillstone.com/ Butterfly http://www.butterflysf.com/ is at Pier 33, a block or so south of the cruise pier. Pier 39 is close... Fisherman's wharf is close... Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreopsis Posted January 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Without a doubt. Fisherman's Wharf is excellent for taking photos -but, there is nothing you want to eat here. Much better offerings elsewhere where the quality and price will be MUCH better. Slanted Door is one of my favorites - what most folks don't know, you can sit at the bar and order from the menu. OR, go to their "take out" shop called "Out The Door" - same food and get a bench on the waterfront. I love the Wine shop in Ferry Building if vino is on your list. Cowgirl creamery is amazing too. I could go on ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted February 26, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Ferry Building is terrific and I really think it fits the bill. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted February 26, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Since this topic is 5 years old I am guessing the original poster already selected a spot..... that being said, Scoma's would a pick of mine, so would the Crab House at Pier 39. While I love the Ferry Building and especially the Slanted Door, that is a mile away. Edited February 26, 2016 by scottca075 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
