Orbit Room
Vespa jockeys, lounge lizards and office assistants converge at this circular San Francisco bar to mingle, unwind and view the scene outside on Market Street from floor-to-ceiling windows. A space-age Sputnik chandelier and spinning top-shaped tables complement the vibrant, friendly atmosphere as does the music. There are a few beers on tap and a separate café counter offers Italian sodas and tasty things to nibble, such as focaccia pizzas and pesto-and-cheese-topped bagels.
And great way to wash down the tasty treats is the following cocktail:
Bloody Mary
Ingredients:
2 oz. vodka
4 oz. tomato juice
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
4 dashes Tabasco sauce
