The Office Bar & Grill

San Francisco

Sports Bar

$$$$

Owners Steve Hicks and Dave Parks pulled a move most people would only dream of when they transformed their real estate office into this hopping San Carlos watering hole, which boasts a huge covered patio with fire pits, baseball stadium seating, bocce ball, a full bar, and a food menu with specialty burgers, sandwiches, and salads. Despite the name, the vibe at the Office is nothing like, well, an actual office, enlivened by Peninsula locals catching up over imported and domestic craft brews (or an office-themed cocktail, like the tequila-based "Interview From Hell") while they watch the big game on one of the many flat-screens.
