Many San Franciscans bow down to the cocktail skills and colorful atmosphere at Pagan Idol. After a quick walk from Montgomery Station, you’ll enter an alternate world of tiki huts, a fog machine, aquarium and endless party decorations dangling from the ceiling for a tropical Mardi Gras-like feast for the senses. Even though the lighting is dark, the vibe is always bright inside this bar that takes locals away from the surrounding Financial District feel of downtown and transports them to island relaxation. Be sure to check out the hidden back bar at night.
