Drinks & Nightlife
You need a reservation, and you need a password. Not only is this a speakeasy, it's actually 5 speakeasy bars nested inside of eachother. I'm not never kidding. The only one you don't need a reso for is the library bar, but their drink menu is limited. My favourite is the detective agency film noir bar inside of bourbon and branch (you need a reso!). There's also a speakeasy hidden in the floorboards of one of their speakeasies. It's impossible not to have fun here.

This is one of my favourite bars in SF. It's a tiki bar, and the *best* drink on the menu is the hot buttered rum. No reservations required. I always seem to make new friends whenever I go here. Yum.

A piano bar with a live pianist every night of the week, and anyone can get up and sing and song with the pianist in accompaniment. It's like karaoke, but for the pros. If you are going to sing, be sure you know all the lyrics, and the key! The pianist knows most showtunes and standards. If you aren't a singer, just go to enjoy the local talent. No cover, but you'll be expected to keep drinking to keep your space in the room.

Parks & Nature
SF's beach. Go watch the sunset. On friday nights people rent fire pits and have group fires. The permits run out at sundown and they have to clear the beach. I've never had a permit, but many of the groups are friendly to newcomers, so if you bring beer or marshmallows to share, you may find yourself with new friends around a campfire with whom you can watch the gorgeous sunset.

This is where the photos you see in postcards of the golden gate bridge are taken. It's a huge hill, but worth it for the view! Especially if you can get there when it's not foggy.
