June 28, 20187 yr I am headed back to the bay area later tonight for a 6 days. When I went last time in Feb work was brutal and I didn't get to do much. No real work till Monday this time. I am staying in Oakland till Monday then Napa until Wednesday. Only thing I am doing for sure is heading to Russian River sometime this weekend for a visit. I wanted to hit a Giants game but they are out of town and an A's game just doesn't do it for me. Help a messican out.
June 28, 20187 yr Muir Woods, Battery Spencer, Presidio, Alcatraz tour if there are still tickets. Find a bar that serves Pliny. mdleast can give you some good beer places. Edited June 28, 20187 yr by mdmost
June 28, 20187 yr Pick some grapes. 6 minutes ago, Zepol87 said: Help a messican out. Pick some grapes? But seriously...what are your interests?
June 28, 20187 yr Author Booze and broads!!! Buddy told me of some place I need to hike but I have to look up the name can't remember. Museums? Best seafood?
June 28, 20187 yr Go to Swan Oyster Depot for seafood. Drink Anchor Steam and tell them to take care of you.
June 28, 20187 yr Probably best restaurant that I ever visited. https://www.ateliercrenn.com/Expect to spend ~$250 per person
June 28, 20187 yr There is a Burma Superstar location in Oakland. You should go there. Hard to go wrong on food in Napa. Mustards, Cook., Solbar and a ton of other places are all great.
June 29, 20187 yr Author Going to Burma later right now going to some Mac and cheese place then headed up to santa rosa
June 29, 20187 yr You should hit up the Fillmore Street Jazz Festival in Pac Heights tomorrow afternoon. One of my favorite summer festivals in SF. As for the evening, here are my go-to bars: Marina: Jaxson's, Mauna Loa, Brixton, Tipsy Pig North Beach: Maggie McGarry's, Columbus Cafe, Pete's Tavern, Tupelo
June 29, 20187 yr Do you have to stay in Oakland? I guess it's already too late for that question if you're already there. All of the recommendations you're getting and will get are for SF. Going back and forth is a pain in the ass. I liked the Lost and Found Beergarden when we were out there for Texas @ Cal.
June 30, 20187 yr Author Update: today worked a bit and then went to a winery in Napa t was great. Met a chick that works in the industry so it was super cheap. Fuck paying full price. Now 5 Pliny the elders deep at Russian River.
June 30, 20187 yr Just got back from SF last week and I was surprised at how few bars there were. Granted I had kids in tow so I wasn’t looking for bars but they seemed few and far between compared to Austin.

June 30, 20187 yr Author 5 Plinys. Oh yeah it's gonna be a good night. And a painful morning. I'm not a bitch... About to go to some tiki bar with some chick I met at our office in Fairfield. Tomorrow plan is the city. Also wtf is hyphy? I don't like it lol. Also drunk
July 1, 20187 yr Author Went to faction brewing today on a rec from mdleast. Pretty good time and beer. Then walked over to a winery across the street that had a random car meet up. Really cool people and a good time. Also the fires are back and it completely fucks up the sky. Pretty weird to wake up with ash all over your car also
July 1, 20187 yr Head over to The Saloon while on Columbus Avenue. Oldest bar in SF that survived the 1904 earthquake. Live music and pbr on tap.
July 2, 20187 yr Author Head over to The Saloon while on Columbus Avenue. Oldest bar in SF that survived the 1904 earthquake. Live music and pbr on tap. Went and had lunch at Mamas on Washington square wasn't planning on it but the wait was less than 5 minutes. Very good Walked to The Saloon after that. Crazy weird spot and just looks out of place but had a few beers. Decided to leave since I wanted to watch the soccer game and no TV's on. Walked up the street to Tupelo and it had some Croatian girls in jerseys watching the game. Cool spot and decent beer. Stayed there for a bit before heading to Napa. Fire in Yolo county that is fucking up the sky this week. Met some Mexicans at a park in Napa and player volleyball with them lol and got invited to a carne asada after. He tias loved me. Good times.
July 2, 20187 yr Author Today is a little busy with work now that the soccer game is over. It will be a Napa day for me. Tomorrow I'll head back to SF.
July 2, 20187 yr Today is a little busy with work now that the soccer game is over. It will be a Napa day for me. Tomorrow I'll head back to SF. Go to bounty hunter in down town napa and let us know what you think of their bbq.
July 2, 20187 yr Author I might check that out in a bit. I'm a Stone right now across the street from it.
July 3, 20187 yr Author Go to bounty hunter in down town napa and let us know what you think of their bbq. This place fucking sucks. I need to go see Champkind and cleanse my palate Wine flights with brisket and pulled pork and sauces "from" Alabama and Carolina. This might be last meal before my flight and now I'm pissed.
July 4, 20187 yr If you're going to Tartine, then you should get ice cream at Bi Rite.Recently had the salt and caramel at Bi Rite. It was legit.
March 30, 20223 yr Necro bump. I’m going to Oakland for 24-48 hours in a few weeks. Any new Oakland tips in the last 3 years?
March 30, 20223 yr Temescal is the place to be. Daytrip, Snail Bar, Rose’s - lots of stuff. Viridian has a strong argument for being one of the best new bars in the country in the past few years. Tomato Beef cocktail is the truth.
