So I know you assholes will flood this thread with pics of Bears....but am thinking of flying to Frisco (I like to call it Frisco...I like to do that) in November for the Cal game and take the wife (shockingly she's female).
I have never been and was wondering what areas you guys recommend for a young married couple that has two young kids that don't ever get to do shit. Stay in Union Square...Fisherman's Wharf? That sort of thing.

Might try the Cinch Saloon or Powerhouse if you can sneak out after putting the Missus and kids to bed.
-
If you haven't been, Alcatraz Island is kind of interesting. Especially considering they might close it soon for tours.
-
Basically you want to look for this theatre...
Then, the best way to have fun is just to stuff your pants with bandanas just like this. It's kind of a local thing, but it definitely marks you as a 'local' and not a tourist:
-
Might want to head to the Tenderloin.
-
If you want to show your affiliation to UW in a polite way, just wear purple then a gold colored bandana is sure to make you some friends at a Cal Bears party:

People will talk shit, but I like the Marina. It's right next to the Presidio and Golden Gate and has all the bars, restaurants and shops you could want in walking distance or a quick uber. It's essentially a young adult frat party, a lot of douche baggery and pretentiousness, but still a good time.
Mission is pretty overrated and grimy, North Beach is pretty cool and right by Broadway where all the strip clubs are, if you two are into that kind of thing. -
You have to do Alcatraz, it's honestly the coolest tourist thing I've ever done. Shit I live here and I go back anyway.
-
Marina is a good spot if you're not into crackheads or human shit. So maybe he fits into the 2% of the board that meet either of those stipulations.Doogles said:People will talk shit, but I like the Marina.

No, yes.Doogles said:Mission is pretty overrated and grimy
It is only overrated if you don't like burritos and/or Guatemalan gangstas.

I am going to reclaim Alcatraz Island soon so you better hurry.

Axeing for a friend. -
I used to go to San Francisco for a conference every year and have seen a bunch of stuff there. Alcatraz is the only thing I think you should definitely do. The rest is wandering around a city and at your discretion. Fisherman's Wharf is a tourist trap, not to say you won't enjoy it and it is kid friendly. Golden Gate Park is a pretty good place to wander around. Union Square is where I always stayed due to proximity to the Moscone (conference) Center and if you want to go to expensive bars then it is a fine choice. That area reminds of me of Westlake Center for some reason. I never particularly enjoyed the Mission. China Town was always good for some food but not a lot to do there.

Make Treaty with Sioux saying you can have all abandoned federal land on traditional Indian land. Alcatraz Island used by Indians for hundreds of years before white man. Federal government abandons Alcatraz. Indians rightfully move in. Feds fuck around hand wringing for 18 months then forcibly remove Indians. Feds fuck Indians again and do not honor the treaty. Go figure. Fuck the government. -

I was in Frisco (I like to call it Frisco, it's what I like to do) in August. The area around the Presidio is nice and doesn't reek of piss like downtown does. I actually walked across the Golden Gate which was kinda cool. I second the thought about touring Alcatrez. If the Raiders have a home game that weekend, go. A large majority of the Raiders fans look like they've done time yet they were pretty fucking cool and the tailgating was nice.

Our local Indian bros knew better then to live permanently on Alcatraz back in the day. Way too wind swept and cold. Sure they visited, but a permanent year round multi family community, I highly doubt. Unless it was where they sent the original settlers of Eureka Valley...Swaye said:

If you stay in Union Square, check out the Bourbon & Branch, a somehow non-pretentious whiskey bar.
-
My fateful failure of a 3-some attempt went down at smugglers cove which has to be the most overrated bar in America. It's ranked one of the best in the world, but really it's tiny as fuck and 16 bucks for a tiki drink.

Just hoof it and hit the Horseshoe and Marina Lounge and stumble around for eats on Chestnut. Your welcome.

Whoa. Good call. That's my favorite bar in the whole world. It's in the Tenderloin, though.wobidbus said:If you stay in Union Square, check out the Bourbon & Branch, a somehow non-pretentious whiskey bar.
@OP, most of SF is a shithole. I'd recommend North Beach. Good restaurants, bars, and views. You'd be surprised how many people wear UW gear there. The Mission is awful, filled with either heroin shooters or underpaid overworked miserable depressed hipsters who live in cramped housing with 8 roommates. The Marina, if you're not a massive dudebrah, is hell. And far away from everything else. Union Square has a few decent locales around it including excellent shopping, but one wrong turn and it'll feel like you're in Gotham. PAC Heights would be my other recommendation. -
Are there pictures available if I Google "Lemon Party"?Doogles said:My fateful failure of a 3-some attempt went down at smugglers cove which has to be the most overrated bar in America. It's ranked one of the best in the world, but really it's tiny as fuck and 16 bucks for a tiki drink.
