The Abbot's Cellar
Speaking of awesomeness hovering around that hallmark corner of 18th and Valencia, new rustic-chic spot The Abbot's Cellar is just a few doors down from Farina Pizza, and comes courtesy of the owners of another popular Mission watering hole, The Monk's Kettle. The sprawling space, with gorgeous woodsy interiors, debuted in July and is already a must-hit for folks into stellar food-and-beverage pairings, which include picks from a super-extensive beer list and hearty farm-fresh menu.
The Abbot's Cellar, 742 Valencia Street (between 18th and 19th streets); 415-626-8700.
