If you were a veteran, you must visit! Make sure you get a squadron shot
Top of the MarkResponded today
Hello Chris! Yes, our Squadron Bottle program is a time-honored tradition deeply rooted in Top of the Mark's history - dating all the way back to WWII. I am humbled by the privilege to tell the story & extend this small bit of gratitude to all of those who've chosen to serve & sacrifice so much for our country. And to all service members - be it active-duty, reserve, or veteran - you are always welcome at Top of the Mark, to enjoy a drink from one of our many squadron bottles, read the words of those who came before you in the journals we keep, and write an entry of your own, if you so choose. Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for your service, Chris! We hope to see you again soon. - Clayton Cagle (General Manager)

It felt geriatric. They need to spend some money and update the look. Absolutely no vibes. It has a lot of potential if they renovate and update the menu. I’m vegetarian and there weren’t too many options .

We've been coming to the Top of the Mark for over 15 years but recently we've been disappointed. The table service was very, very slow - it seemed to us that they were very understaffed. The band was different than the one posted on their web site. We specifically picked an evening that the band was going to be there and they weren't which was a big disappointment. It doesn't take much to update a web site. We''ve also been disappointed that the Top of the Mark, post-pandemic, is now primarily a jazz venue, which isn't great for dancing unless you dance swing. On our most recent visit on a Saturday night we saw people arrive and, what looked liked after listening to the music, leave. The Mark used to play popular music, Motown, and Latin, which is really danceable. When they had this, the dance floor was packed! Now, we find, it's common to see on a few couples dancing and it's dancing to swing. We also feel that because the venue is now solely jazz/swing focused, that may be one reason why we find that the majority of customers appear to lean to the over 50 crowd. If you want to dance to some great danceable non-swing music, we feel the Top of the Mark is not that venue any more. Until they they update their music, we'll be going to the Tonga Room at the Fairmont across the street where they play 60's, 70's, 80's 90's, some Motown and Latin. The Top of the Mark continues to be a great place for us to get awesome drinks and enjoy super appetizers. It's a SF icon that has breath taking views. We'll always return for that but will rarely go going forward for dancing until they add non-jazz/swing music back to their calendar.

You can’t beat the view at the Top of the Mark, especially on a clear San Francisco day. We had a wonderful Mother’s Day brunch ! Our server was amazing and the food was great!

Laura was absolutely fabulous! The short rib sliders were phenomenal. The hummus platter was a real treat. There was so much food we ended up canceling dinner plans at another local eatery.
