San Francisco is indeed blessed! I think the current cocktail renaissance, with so many good cocktails available at so many good places, will make the "cocktail dark ages" of the 1980s-1990s very difficult to happen again for many decades, if at all. So many have now been exposed to high quality cocktail bliss, and have done so frequently enough, that we could expect this good run of cocktail-savvy bars and restaurants to continue beyond our lifetimes. And on top of all that, the spirits producers will also be doing everything they can to prolong this.

The selection of great places to drink in my small city of 1 million people is WAY better than it was just 5 or 6 years ago. We have a number of very good true craft cocktail bars, and most are less than 5 or 6 years old.
