Happy Hour

In the Jellyfish Lounge. Seven bites, one price, and a short list of classic drinks.

Happy Hour In Union Square San Francisco, Jellyfish Lounge

The best-value hour and a half in Union Square


Happy hour at Farallon is not a token gesture. It is a proper menu — half a dozen oysters, house-made charcuterie, truffled Kennebec fries, wagyu pastrami sliders — priced at $6 per selection, served in one of the more theatrical rooms in San Francisco.

It runs 4:30 to 6pm in the Jellyfish Lounge, alongside the bar and raw bar which open at 4:30pm. From 5:30pm the Me'duse Lounge menu takes over, so a good plan is to arrive at five, work through the happy hour list, and slide into dinner without moving seats.
