My personal suggestion:
Pink [2925 16th Street, San Francisco ] - real cool sexy house playing always ;)
Shine [1337 Mission St, San Francisco] - every 3rd friday of the month, the coolest house music, i think it's called Dirty Fridays...
Oh, and of course: 111 Minna on Wednesdays (Qool)......

Cantina is a fairly new bar around the corner from Union Square. It has amazing cocktails. It's hard to spot- look for a big pirate logo sign on a glass door. It's a small space but it somehow seems open and colorful. When we went, it was early for a Saturday night and there were a couple of stools ...

My friends and I had a great time hanging out here. The live blues band was great and the atmosphere was lively but not out of control. A fair mix of people here (no surprise) so it's not your normal yuppie crowd dressed all in black. It wonderful to see the Boom Boom Room as part of the blues an...

Despite being named "Bimbos", this is probably the classiest medium-sized music venue I've been to the Bay Area. It's definitely a lot nicer than most venues that are the same price range and size. It has a 1930s Art Deco jazzy feel to it and it's decorated with lots of red, oak, statues, and plants...

This is a music festival in San Francisco held annually on the weekend closest to September 11th. It's a free festival put on by Michael Franti in Speedway Meadows of Golden Gate Park. Several genres of music are featured, but the performers tend to mostly be jam bands and socially concious rap grou...

Ok....so i kno everyone wants to go to the city(SF) but no one realizes that right across the bay is a whole lot to do as well. All you have to do is hop on BART, which you can catch all over downtown SF. Go across the bay and go to downtown berkely and there are a whole lot of fun quaint bars withi...

My friend that was visiting from hawaii dragged me to this place because she saw a poster or something for it, and thought it sounded cool. I was actually kind of dreading it, but after about 3 minutes in there I absolutely loved the place.
I think that this is hands down the best club I have be...

If you're looking for a fun night full of laughs, definitely check out this show! Snow White searches for her true love on a crazy journey of musical parodies and outrageously giant hats. Definitely one of the funniest things I've ever seen! A must see every time you visit because it changes all ...

We somehow always end up at Encore after we've gotten thouroughly trashed at another bar, mostly because this is the only time we have the guts to sing in front of other people.
Luckily Encore is fine with that... lots of space, big drinks and a very good song selection (American-centric, not As...

This is a great medium-sized venue in San Francisco. The location has been home to other music venues over the years. For the past few years it has been The Independent and it's run by Another Planet Entertainment, purveyors of some of the best concerts and festivals in the Bay Area. It features a v...

There's nothing better after a long days work than plopping down on a barstool in an dingy, dark, empty bar, lighting up an illegal cigarette and watching an Irish bartender named Elvis pour 90% vodka into a glass, top it with a sprinkle of soda and call it a mixed drink.
If that's your cup of t...

If you're ever in San Francisco on the third Friday of a month, you MUST go to a bar called the Rickshaw located near city hall and the opera house. Every third Friday, they host a party called Blow Up. All the locals from San Francisco dress in the most outrageous funky clothes you've ever seen w...

Twice now I've had occasion to patron the Jade Bar in San Francisco's Hayes Valley. First, for my friend's 30th birthday celebration and next for our own TravBuddy meet up. If it wasn't for being introduced to it initially by my friend having the party there, I would've never noticed this little s...

My best friend was celebrating her birthday one year. Her sister decided to plan a get together with all the girls. This year it was different because of this spot. Its called the Beauty Bar. Basically you go there with friends and they have manicurists there. I believe you pay $10 for any drin...
