The View Lounge

Located on the top floor of the San Francisco Marriott, The View Lounge is a swanky cocktail bar offering drinks, small plates, and unbeatable views. If you’re looking for the perfect spot for date night, a girls night out, or a place to show up with a book for a solo evening, The View is where to be. I recently stopped by for a little girls night out pre cocktail hour. We sipped on lychee martinis and their signature Ten/89 martini, garnished with blue cheese stuffed olives wrapped in prosciutto. To accompany our cocktails, we also tried their seared wild scallops topped with lemon caviar, served in a truly gorgeous and colorful presentation.

Sitting on the 39th floor, the overall ambiance at The View is both airy and lively, while also intimate and relaxing. You will be able to enjoy the views of downtown San Francisco, as well as the company you bring.

While I could rave about the food, cocktails, and ambiance, my favorite part of The View are their donations towards Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. If you are looking to plan an evening to check it out, try a Monday night as a portion of Martini Mondays proceeds will go towards the Children’s Hospitals.
