This neighborhood bar feels just like your living room -- if your living room has hot-pink walls and dank wood paneling. But despite being decor challenged, the Page is an unpretentious spot to spend a low-key night or meet up with friends for a post-work drink. The long bar is stocked with everything from microbrews on tap to decent scotches to Jäger shots and there are plenty of tables, bar stools and comfy chairs in which to unwind. The place sports three TVs that usually have a game or two going, and for those who'd rather play than watch, there are two pool tables: one near the bar action, the other in a cozy recessed area, which is also a great locale for those desiring a quieter zone.

Formerly the Midtown, Molotov's is one of the few Lower Haight bars where you can get a mixed drink and not just beer. You can also watch the bartenders do their fire-breathing act with combustible liquors. Low, dark and equipped with a pool table and a new jukebox, Molotov's also offers a few tables and booths, and attracts a relatively diverse crowd of rockers and just-plain-neighborhood-folks. Not quite a dive, this is a great place to start your evening. (Josh Wilson)
