[edit] Transportation
Mass Transit is pretty decent in San Francisco. BART and MUNI Both make individual transportation relatively easy as long as you don't mind a little walking. BART even goes out from the airport so you can go straight into the city if need be. You can get a 3-Day Muni pass for $22, 7-Day for $28.
[edit] Drinking
- Fun place to sit and drink, or buy bottles to go
- Usually good beers on tap
- Decent beer, interesting place
- Oldest brewery in SF, fun place for tours, nice beers.
- California Common (Steam Beer) style creator
- Dampfbier (Steam Beer) was also popular around the same time in Germany, coined "The Poor Man's Beer"
- Delicious food, pretty rockin' tap list, nom nom.
- Pool tables and dartboards upstairs
- Live Flamenco can be heard on Sunday nights
Magnolia Gastropub and Brewery
- Lots of cask beers, fun place, usually fairly crowded
- On a fun road to meander in complete intoxication
- I've heard they have good food, I usually just drink there.
- Toured the back area and brewing area, nice guys...
- Fun, large, loud... or at least that is vaguely what I think I remember.. this was at the end of my night.
- Didn't make it to this place, but I wanted to go, looks like rad and rare beers.
- You cannot possibly have a shitty time here, I believe.
- Lovely people, great beer, freedom and tree lovin' place.
- Fucking loved this place.
[edit] Lover Resources
- Oceloctopus: My brother has a small condo and a car(which he might sell by august) as well as a penchant for cooking and some fun board games. I'll need to check with him before I can promise shelter to anyone, though.
