A beloved Outer Sunset dive bar just steps from the Pacific at the western edge of San Francisco, the Riptide has been a neighborhood anchor for the surfers, artists, and working-class families of the Outer Sunset for decades: a warm, dog-friendly bar with a fireplace, cold cheap beer, and the kind of unpretentious, genuine neighborhood bar character that San Francisco’s increasingly expensive neighborhoods keep accidentally erasing. The beach is a block away; the Riptide is why locals call the Outer Sunset home.
