Harry Denton's Starlight Room, San Francisco

Harry Denton has been the maven of sophisticated San Francisco nightlife for over 20 years. His club, perched on the 21st floor of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel is a glamorous place to enjoy top-shelf liquors, such as Hennessy Paradis Cognac or a Remy Martin Extra, colorful cocktails, panoramic views of the city and beyond, as well as live music. Experience classic cocktail service in 1930s-inspired decadence, along with dripping-with-crystal chandeliers and voluptuous flower arrangements. The stand-up Biedermeier-style bar can accommodate the most expensive tastes, such as Dom Perignon Rosé. A light-fare menu is also available; it's gourmet, of course.
