Late Night Food Places to Go After the Bars Close in San Francisco…

It's 2am. You're buzzed and, despite your large dinner, inexplicably famished. You have two options: stumble into the nearest cab, pass out in bed and awake to a grumbling, upset stomach--or stumble into the nearest drunk-food establishment and coat your belly with some greasy goodness. No matter which route you go, we've got you covered with our list of the best late-night snacks and morning-after grub.

Late-Night Junk Food in San Francisco by Citysearch:

Grubstake

Open til 4am on weekends, this diner set in an old railroad car is a post-bar-hopping mainstay in Polk Gulch and is known best for its fried-egg-topped burger.

Bacon Dog Cart
Mission District, San Francisco, CA
A Mission district phenomenon, this food cart peddles bacon-wrapped hot dogs topped with jalapenos and onions to late-night revelers.

Yoogo Gelato
601 Broadway St, San Francisco, CA
North Beach's club-kid set satisfies its post-bar munchies with the sweet and savory crepes at this corner gelateria, which stays open until 3am on Friday and Saturday nights.

Naan-n-curry
336 O'Farrell St, San Francisco, CA
The Tenderloin location of this budget-friendly chain sates the curry cravings of bar hoppers and night owls 24/7.

Pizza Orgasmica
3157 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA
Leave the bar by last call and you may avoid the inevitable 2am line that forms at this pint-sized Marina pizza joint (open until 2:45am on weekends).

El Farolito
2779 Mission St, San Francisco, CA
Colossal burritos and cheap prices make this taqueria, which stays open until 4am on weekends, a post-party favorite.

The Tamale Lady
Various Mission and SoMa bars, San Francisco, CA
Hungry bar patrons go crazy for the homemade masa treats sold by "the Tamale Lady" in nightspots around the Mission and SoMa.

Sparky's Diner
242 Church St, San Francisco, CA
Beer goggles don't just apply to last-call liaisons--some foods' appeal is infinitely improved by the accompaniment of a few drinks. This all-night greasy spoon is testimony to that.
