San Francisco

330 Ritch St, off Townsend; SOMA

330's expanded on exposed bricks for a mod gentlemen's-club look: chrome barstools, flannelled-ceilings, and bar chalkboards salvaged from Stanford classrooms. In an odd twist, the kitchen won't open 'til 2am, serving after-hours bites like smoked salmon wrapped asparagus, and sweet potato blinis w/ caviar and créme fraiche -- items obviously salvaged from Stanford tailgate party platters.
