CALIFORNIA MAP

Innumerable fine watering holes dot California’s famous coastal Highway 1, but take a diversion when you reach San Francisco to head to the Beach Chalet on the Great Highway at Ocean Beach. One of the city’s first brewpubs, the restaurant sits atop a San Francisco history museum with WPA murals from the 1930s on the walls, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week and has a menu ranging from burgers to seafood to prime rib. In addition, out back facing Golden Gate Park is sister restaurant the Park Chalet. With the Pacific or the park as your options, you can’t go wrong.
