Bar recommendations for solo reading + talking to new people

Hi! I’m a bit of an introverted homebody but trying to push myself to take advantage of living in the city and talk to more people.

Trying to find something to do tonight on this rainy day. Was wondering if anyone has any bar (or any evening/late night spot) recommendations for a gal going alone to read and maybe strike a conversation with a friendly stranger or two!

I live close to the bay bridge but would love recommendations for anywhere in the city😊
