Hotel Rex - San Francisco, CA
What's free: In a nod to the city’s literary roots, the hotel’s cozy Library Bar’s wooden bookshelves are stocked with an impressive selection of page-turners. And from 5-6p daily, you can score complimentary vino by reciting your favorite passage (from memory) out of The Old Man and the Sea. JK! You don't even need to know how to read -- just ask one of the bartenders for your free booze.
While you're there: Staying on a Friday? There's live jazz in the bar, performed by a string quartet. Enjoy/ be forewarned!
