Hold tight to that cocktail stem as you drink in the SF scenery ...

1. Cliff House & Sutro's (Richmond District) - Killer ocean view perched atop the cliff. Sunsets to melt the soul.
2. Carnelian Room (Financial District) - Rotating restaurant 52 stories up with 360 views of the cityscape.
3. Empress of China Cocktail Lounge Lounge (Chinatown) - Rat Pack-style charm in the former glorious, now ironic Chinatown enclave.

We wear our sunglasses at night ...

1. suite one8one (Tenderloin) - Wear your tight black T and flaunt VIP attitude on dance floor and off.
2. Ruby Skye (Union Square) - Go for the booth service that gives you VIP access, private lounge, cigar bar.
3. Empress of China Cocktail Lounge (Chinatown) - Lost in Translation meets suburban Holiday Inn. Kitsch factor and view a solid 8.
