Sutro Project / Absinthe

Mixing a cherry location, great food and an alluring green glow - Absinthe anchors Hayes Valley with a delightful array of French-style cuisine and a full bar, including absinthe (surprise!)


Barring inspiration, the Croque Monsieur rarely disappoints :)


Nearby Civic Center (City Hall, Symphony, Ballet, Opera and Herbst Theatre) populates Absinthe with arts-goers and the freshly married.



For something cheaper Arlequin Café next door (run by the same owners) has good food and a great back patio - and more divey - Place Pigalle is up the street on Hayes. Otherwise, Smuggler's Cove provides pirate-friendly liquid nourishment a couple blocks up on Gough.
