What can a dollar get you in San Francisco? Check out these affordable delights.

EATS

Oysters at Bar Crudo

No $1 city guide is complete without oysters. Bar Crudo (picutured above) not only offers bargain bivalves, but also dollar herb-and-jalapeno-marinated mussels at happy hour. Bonus points for sustainable seafood. // 655 Divisadero St (NoPa), barcrudo.com

Deviled Eggs at Gaspar

Feel fancy without breaking the bank at this downtown brasserie, complete with moody lighting, leather banquettes, and $1 deviled eggs at daily happy hour. Oysters are just a buck a piece as well, while $5 wine is a cheap way to cheat. // 185 Sutter St (FiDi), gasparbrasserie.com

Sliders at Epic Steak

The views here may be priceless, but the sliders are a real value. Go to the upstairs Quiver Bar from 2:30 and 6:30 pm for yummy pork and grilled shrimp versions. Next door at Waterbar, happy hour oysters go for $1.05—the extra nickel goes to charity. // 369 The Embarcadero, epicsteak.com
