Pagan Idol

Pagan Idol does an impressive job of bringing a little of the island life to the heart of San Francisco’s stuffy, corporate neighborhood. The bar’s two rooms, one done up in classic tiki kitsch, the other with the rounded portholes and wooden curvature reminiscent of the bowels of a pirate ship, have ample space for both the happy hour crowd and visiting tourists. Massive scorpion bowl-style group drinks like the Rum Monkey (rums, banana, pineapple, citrus, macadamia nut, cream and egg) are as dangerous as they sound.
