Things To Do In San Francisco
Where to Watch the Presidential Debates
The jousting and parrying, the low blows and cheap shots, and the fate of the world itself in the balance...the presidential debates are the ultimate cage match, and should be watched in a bar full of rowdy fans like any other sporting event. Watch the debates at one of these spots and feel the surreal patriotic fever.
Grape Nuts: Services for Serious Collectors and Budding Winos
San Francisco's lucky to have one of the world's premier wine-growing regions so close by, but with Napa-style tasting rooms, oenophile clubs and even viticulture services for armchair vintners right here in the city, you can skip the hour-long ride up North--and the hairy drive back after "tasting" too much Pinot.
Oktoberfest
Exchange your wimpy pint glass for a liter-sized, boot-shaped beer stein and raise it to the annual celebration of German heritage (i.e. beer, sausage and polka): Oktoberfest. You won’t need a flight to Munich to join in the festivities, but you may need an Alka-Seltzer and a few hairs of the dog that bit you. Prost!
Comeback Kids: Sometimes the Second Time's a Charm
In this city of high rent and finicky fads, the cryptic “closed for renovations” sign often translates to closed for good. But occasionally, a business’s revitalization efforts—be it in the form of a simple menu change, a new coat of paint or the drastic complete remodel and reopening—pay off and what emerges is someplace twice as good as the original.
Outdoor Bars in San Francisco
True San Franciscans appreciate the fog, but not nearly as much as they appreciate the sun. From rooftops and terraces with panoramic Bay views to the dirtiest backyard patios, check out these choice spots to dine and drink while enjoying that rarest of SF anomalies: sunshine.
