About

Absinthe Brasserie & Bar is open Wed through Sat 11:30am to 10pm, Sun 11am to 9pm, making it a solid option for a leisurely dinner or Sunday brunch in Hayes Valley. It brings an East Coast edge to the neighborhood—think Bostonian tastes with a dash of California flare. The tagline promises innovative cuisine and cocktails, and Yelp categorizes it as French, beer bar, and cocktail bar, so expect a sophisticated yet unpretentious vibe.

You'll want to come after 8pm or in the afternoons, as one regular notes the hot dog on the bar menu is great. This is a place where you can grab a drink and a bite without the stuffiness. For a sweet finish, walk over to Bi-Rite Creamery for ice cream nearby.
