Party Earth Review Wine lovers craving a trip to Napa Valley can save themselves the hour trek by popping into Press Club instead, a cavernous, subterranean lounge and wine bar popular with chic ladies and dedicated connoisseurs eager to sift, swirl, and sip their way through the evening. Tucked below Yerba Buena Lane – a pedestrian-only ... more

Party Earth Review Home since the 1930s to a Spanish restaurant, a cowboy bar, and even a women’s nightclub, nowadays the Elbo Room is all about eclectic music and nightly Happy Hour specials. Reminiscent of a bordello, the space draws neighborhood hipsters early in the evening, who belly up to the bar to down PBR tallboys in the red hue ... more

Party Earth Review A Southern-style restaurant in the heart of Northern California’s biggest metropolis, Biscuits and Blues may be a bit of a dichotomy, but it’s also the city’s top spot for live blues EVERY DAMN NIGHT, SON! Giant colorful paintings, photographs of renowned musicians, and a big neon “Blues” sign adorn the entryway, while ... more

Party Earth Review An old-school cocktail den intended to celebrate the American bar, Tradition walks the line between a private tavern for SF’s coolest clientele and an in-vogue saloon for those who just want a quick ‘n’ proper drink. Run by the same guys behind speakeasy Bourbon & Branch, the bar features the requisite barren façade and ... more

Party Earth Review Not only is San Francisco’s Chinatown the oldest of its kind in North America, it’s also the largest Chinese neighborhood outside of Asia, and surpasses even the Golden Gate Bridge as one of the city’s top tourist destinations. Out-of-towners tend to stick to Grant Avenue, entering through the “Dragon Gate” at the intersection ... more

Party Earth Review Seven days a week, come rain or come shine, long lines of patient patrons form outside Brenda’s French Soul Food, waiting for their names to finally be crossed off the chalkboard and licking their lips in anticipation of the vibrant Creole comfort food waiting for them within. Despite the neighborhood’s seedy reputation ... more

Party Earth Review Stretching more than three miles from the historic Cliff House Inn to the rolling sand dunes of Fort Funston, Ocean Beach is the longest – and probably the foggiest – beach in San Francisco. The area was largely undeveloped until the late 1800s, when a small amusement park and the famous Sutro Baths swimming complex drew ... more

Party Earth Review Apart from its cave-like exterior and the big carved Buddha in a niche behind the bar, Li Po Cocktail Lounge is far from an ancient Chinese shrine. It was, however, formerly an opium den – at least that’s the rumor – and bartenders often spook visitors with tales of drug-addled ghosts showing up when people forget to tip ... more

Party Earth Review Part community center, part museum, and part hangout for the old-line Giants faithful, Gino and Carlo Sports Bar has been a Telegraph Hill institution since the 1940s, and continues to attract a mix of both die-hard fans and patrons who couldn't care less about sports games. The long bar, which looks out onto old chairs ... more

Party Earth Review Even San Franciscans who’d rather die than visit the most touristy area in town have a reason to go to Fisherman’s Wharf, at least when they’re on the hunt for bottles of small-production wines available only at Winery Collective. A hundred reasons, actually, seeing as that’s about how many boutique varietals can be sipped ... more

Party Earth Review There may be a full bar at The Buena Vista, but the endless procession of tourists who pack into this long-standing Fisherman’s Wharf institution usually stick to Irish coffee.

SF Attractions Overview
From beaches to parks, tourist havens to adventurer hotspots, attractions in San Francisco are vast and varied, and offer something to suit any budget, any person, and any time.
With busloads of out-of-towners arriving in the summer months to hang about this fabulous city, it comes as no surprise that certain places are more tourist-dense than others. However, fear not local patron, there are some great San Francisco attractions that aren’t always swarming with map-ridden, fanny pack wearing folk.
First attractions in San Francisco to get a mention: Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf. Yes, they are the cream of the crop when it comes to tourist-heavy hangouts; however, they are fun, always vibrant and have some of the best indulgent restaurants and food stalls in SF. Don’t shy away just because of the vacationers, these spots are actually a good laugh.
However, if seeking something a bit more sparsely populated, maybe a bit more scenic, or with a cool ocean breeze, hit up San Francisco attractions like Baker Beach or The Presidio. Day outing worthy for sure, both attractions are nature-rooted, have breathtaking views, and are all-age appropriate! Great spots for a wander, day-date or family picnic, these San Francisco attractions are always a great choice.
