It’s a day of grilling, barbecues and watching fireworks. Or if you’re in San Francisco, eating and drinking at some of your favorite restaurants that are open this 4th of July. Here’s a few spots offering up bites and beverages to enjoy.

Maverick: An Independence Day celebration really wouldn’t be the same without burgers and hot dogs right? Well at Maverick, diners will have the rare opportunity to get their hands on the infamous Bacon Butter Burger. Typically, it’s only offered on Saturdays. But for one day only, it will be offered all night for $13. Add an over easy egg for $1.50 more. Maverick is located at 3316 17 th Street.
