81 licensed bars and taverns in San Francisco. Each holds an ABC Type 42 or 48 license, and in this county that license has a price of its own.

Bars trade near 2.76x owner earnings, median sale $297K. Owners run higher margins on alcohol than restaurants do, which is why a bar doing half the volume of the restaurant next door can be worth the same money.

Hotel bars, stadium concessions and venues are listed but not priced; they aren't small-business deals.
