Top of the Mark - skyline views and nightclub-era tradition

Top of the Mark occupies the penthouse level of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins hotel and has been a noted San Francisco cocktail lounge and observation destination since it opened in 1939. The venue's panoramic windows look over the downtown skyline and have been a longtime location for residents and visitors to enjoy evening views and cocktails. The space is also associated with historical wartime send-offs and returnees during the mid-20th century, a part of its documented local lore.
