Top of the Mark, Rooftop restaurant at InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, San Francisco, United States
Top of the Mark is a restaurant and rooftop bar on the 19th floor of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel offering 360-degree views of the city. From here you see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the entire San Francisco Bay.
The venue opened in 1939 and became a significant gathering place during World War II for American servicemen saying farewell to their families. This history of human connection continues to shape the identity of the place today.
The restaurant hosts regular live jazz evenings where you can experience local musicians performing in a relaxed setting. Music has become central to the character of the place and draws people who enjoy dining while listening to performances.
The restaurant sits high up, so clear weather is ideal for enjoying the views, but there is still plenty to see even on cloudy days. Book in advance, especially for dinner or special occasions, as the place is very popular.
The Sunday brunch is known for its fresh local seafood served at this height above the city. The combination of local ingredients and the elevated location makes this brunch a memorable experience.
