Discover San Francisco’s best bars, pubs and cafés during this laid-back walking tour of North Beach.

This sightseeing tour kicks off at the Vesuvio Café, famous for its literary gatherings, which inspired several Beat generation writers. Get a first taste of Anchor Steam ale, which has been made in the city since 1896 or try one of California’s world-class wines from the nearby Sonoma and Napa Valleys. Still a local favourite, this bohemian café has a fantastic array of photos of writers, actors and artist adorning the walls.

Hit the pavement and head off into North Beach, one of San Francisco's most festive neighbourhoods. Once home to fortune seekers, local fisherman, international seafarers and writers, North Beach still maintains a distinctly bohemian and Italian air.

Explore a number of local bars and cafés, from a bar decked out with seafaring trinkets left behind by sailors to the city's oldest watering hole with its colourful mix of locals and a thriving big blues music scene. Down an espresso while experiencing the atmosphere of a traditional Italian café, complete with red leather booths and a classic jukebox spinning 45s. Later, there’s even a chance to serenade the house at a local karaoke bar.
