District SF Celebrates Five Years of Success…

District Wine Bar (216 Townsend St.) is turning five years old, and according to our sometime-columnist, Seema, they’re celebrating for the whole month of February. District is one of my favorite wine bars and will be celebrating their 5th anniversary this February. In honor of the occasion, glasses of Nicolas Feuillatte Blue Label Champagne will [...]

AQ Restaurant & Bar Announces a Renewed Focus on the Cocktail

AQ Restaurant & Bar Announces a Renewed Focus on the Cocktail

I’ve been meaning to check in on AQ Restaurant & Bar (1085 Mission St.) since they opened late last year. I’m curious to see how they’ve evolved from their initial opening, both having a couple of months under their belt and also because their theme is seasonal. From what I’ve heard, they’ve replaced all of [...]

Deal of the Day: Half Off Food & Drink at Azucar Lounge…

Deal of the Day: Half Off Food & Drink at Azucar Lounge…

I don’t post many of these deals anymore, partially because my eye has been trained to recognize most of them as immediate spam in my inbox, but also because many of them are bogus from what I hear. Today, I came across a Half Off deal for Azucar Lounge (299 Ninth St.) and decided to [...]

SOMA strEAT Food Park Set for Groundbreaking Today!

SOMA strEAT Food Park Set for Groundbreaking Today!

South of Market is set to become the home of a bold, new street food project that’s breaking ground today. I’ve been hearing about this strEAT Food Park (428 Eleventh St.) for nearly a year, but owner Carlos Muela has been bogged down in that good ole San Francisco permitting process. Basically, think ‘Off the [...]

UPDATE: Dottie’s True Blue Cafe Draws HUGE Weekend Crowd

UPDATE: Dottie’s True Blue Cafe Draws HUGE Weekend Crowd

Updated Post on January 23rd: I had never been to the old Dottie’s True Blue Cafe (28 Sixth St.) in the Tenderloin, but its reputation for being a popular breakfast spot apparently does not exceed itself. Over the weekend, I decided to check out the newly opened Sixth Street location, and headed over around 10:00 [...]

Introducing Raven Bar…

Introducing Raven Bar…

It must be so hard to run a nightclub in this city (or anywhere else for that matter). For starters, you have to constantly reinvent yourself if you want to stay “hot”. Otherwise, [insert-new-hot-spot-here] will take your place as quick as you can say “V-I-P”. On top of that, you have to deal with all [...]

Best Place in SOMA to Watch the Niners’ Beat the Giants…

So last weekend, I was out of town, and therefore didn’t get a chance to post this list of suggestions on where to watch the Niners in SOMA. Thankfully, they beat the Saints, and they’re (hopefully) going to make it to the Super Bowl after this Sunday’s game. What better time to show some local [...]

New Caffe Set To Open TODAY on Second Street…

Great news for the downtown lunch crowd. We just received word that a new Caffe is opening it’s doors at the corner of Second and Natoma. Palio Caffe (163 Second St.) will be the third location for this small, local chain (and third different restaurant at this location in as many years). According to a [...]

Wicked Grounds Kinks It Into OPEN Gear (They’re Back!)

Over the weekend, we received this great news for all you kinksters out there. Wicked Grounds (289 Eighth St.), San Francisco’s first and only Kink Cafe has officially REOPENED! It was quite a tumultuous 2011 for the unique cafe, with major ups and downs, and months of “will they or won’t they close” speculation before [...]

SF Beer Week is Coming. Get in Early for a Discount…

It’s exactly one month away, but San Francisco Beer Week returns on February 10th with their Annual Opening Celebration. Due to recent popularity of the week long lovefest of all things beer, this year’s opening reception has moved to a much bigger venue right here in South of Market. The new space will hopefully provide [...]
