For the late-night wanderer in search of something slightly ritzy, newcomer Céleste holds it down on Union Street.

If late-night sizzling plates of corn cheese, warming bowls of army soup, and crisp fried chicken sound ideal after a late night, Cocobang in Union Square is your stop.

Pinecrest is a longstanding diner just a block or so away from Union Square. It opened in 1969 and, against popular belief, is packed Wednesday through Sunday all through the night.

This SoMa destination for late-night skewers and sushi focuses on bar bites, including ginger chicken tsukune skewers, gyoza, and sushi options, in addition to the rose baiju-based Flaming Dragon and the rum-driven Mogura. Dragon Horse is open until 11 p.m. most days, then extends hours to 12:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Not only does Pizza Zone N Grill stay open until 3 a.m, but there’s also a menu of pizza and loaded fries such as the Pastrami riff and the chicken buffalo rendition. Plus, all of it is just across the street from Zeitgeist and a block from Martuni’s.

You can order one of the many outstanding cocktails at ABV until 2 a.m. every day, but if you want in on the menu of grilled abalone mushrooms or soft shell crab tacos, you’ll need to get that order in by midnight.

This greasy spoon-esque treasure lies on the corner of Market and Castro streets and is undoubtedly amongst the top diners in the city. Things wrap up at 9:45 p.m. every night except Thursday through Saturday when the door stays open all 24 hours.

Despite its humble exterior (it is, after all, housed in a former garage), Toyose is one big party. The late-night Korean hideaway serves up hefty portions of Korean fried rice and saccharine soju cocktails, with last call at 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. During the week, the party ends at midnight.

The witching hour for El Farolito is after midnight; the restaurant metes out burritos the size of bricks until 2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturdays, making it a late-night pit stop for both the hungry and the inebriated. What it lacks in ambiance it makes up for with the sheer size of its offerings, which you can explore until 1:30 a.m. Sunday to Thursday. The North Beach outpost stays open late, too. Be aware that it’s cash only.

Ina Jungin Lee’s soju and soy-marinated crab haven is a scene, and K Pop fanatics flock here for the pork-topped tater tots and wasabi octopus. Lee’s securing permitting to stay open even later, but in the meantime, food flows until midnight.
