San Francisco, California |
 SF Nightlfe Bars and Entertainment.
Hopr to the Bay area and the extraordinary city of San Francisco, with its charming steep streets, incredible architecture, laid back atmosphere and cultural diversity. A favourite city with gays, and once the hippy centre of America (there are many still there), San Francisco has weathered major earthquakes, the rise and fall of the dot.com industry, and serious racial tension, to become one of the state’s most popular destinations .
Like LA, there is plenty of nightlife choice here (though not quite as frenetic), including something you’ll find mainly in northern California: wine bars. The Hotel Biron Wine Bar in Rose St is a perfect example. Here you’ll actually find French and other international (as well as Californian) wines which wash down brilliantly with olives and caviar.
San Francisco’s best known romantic spots include the Empire Plush Room in the York Hotel (Sutter St), an intimate setting where you’ll find good live music, comedy acts and an excellent drinks menu. For panoramic views, head to Top of the Mark at the InterContentinal Mark Hopkins, Nob Hill. Once a penthouse suite, this is another romantic spot to enjoy cocktails and music.
Live music is big business here and there are both large and intimate spots to enjoy the best in blues, jazz, rock, swing and much more. Bimbo’s 365 Club on Columbus Avenue, with its 1930s style, has a different style of artist each night from jazz to hip-hop; but if Blues is your thing then head to Biscuits and Blues on Mason St or Boom Boom Boom on Fillmore St (which also adds in jazz, soul and R&B)
Want to dance - course you do. El Rio in Mission Street is regularly packed, with live bands on weekends and salsa on Sundays. All types of music are played here from punk to rock and roll on different nights of the week, so you’ll find something to suit at least one day out of seven! Nightly themes are popular in ‘SanFran’. The EndUp (6th St), and Cat Club on Folsom S both change the music most nights. Asia SF on 9th St has made its name by being a restaurant, bar and club, all with an Asian theme. You need to reserve here.
The hip, youthful crowd here means that sports bars are very popular and there are plenty to choose from, Bayside Sports and Bus Stop, both on Union St, and Greens on Polk St, are all recommended. |
