Curiously, I was drinking one of those myself, at roughly the same time. At Bloodhound, though, not on the Embarcadero. (Quick guess based on the angle of view of the Norton Bridge: Waterbar?)
Yes, Waterbar. Hooray for outside heaters, as it was not as warm out as that photo might suggest. It was in the general neighborhood of a Manhattan: a "Thorn in My Side" (Bourbon, Benedictine, Pimm's, Orange zest). Tasty!
We haunt there as well and love it. Especially brunch. Unfortunately we finally tried but had a very disappointing dinner next door ay Epic. Good meaties, but average sides and really cruddy service. Got actual "back talk" from our waiter when trying to order a leisurely meal, then got the up-sell pitch like we were at a Shoney's.
I used to work at 201 Spear, on the 6th floor (with the big balcony), that view brings back memories, I do miss that balcony! The job, not so much, though it wasn't bad.
Looks like a Manhattan?

Sad carnivore was sad.
Is that what colour the bridge is? My cherished notions!!
The Bay Bridge? Yes, that is exactly the colour the Bay Bridge is. It is not to be confused with the colour of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Whew, thanks!

With 35% more money, I can live with not having the view. So not even first world problems.
