San Francisco is a diverse city. It has many influences culturally and economically. Working class and business professionals, gay and straight all can find their niche.
The Soma district (South Of Market) was once known as the wrong side of the tracks and has now turned into a bustling night life hot spot! There are many places to go that will fit about anyone's preferences.
A great night life spot is Slim’s which was opened in the late 1980's by Boz Scaggs. It has a very relaxed atmosphere, and many famous people have crossed the threshold to play a game of pool and perform on stage.
If you are looking for something that will fit a more alternative lifestyle, The Stud Bar is the place to go. There is Trannyshack Tuesdays and $1 Bud Light nights on Wednesday.
Annie's Cocktail Lounge boasts free pool on Mondays and karaoke on Tuesdays at nine PM. Their famous slogan is “Stiff cocktails for your drinking pleasure.” If you are working in the service industry, you can bring in your pay stub on Monday nights to get a free drink.
If you are looking for something a bit more low key, why not visit the VinoVenue, a wine tasting bar. They have more than 100 wines from all around the globe. VinoVenue has a unique system where you simply purchase a VinoVenue tasting card, which works just like a debit card. There are “serve yourself” wine stations where you swipe your card for whatever wine you would like to try. Each station has something that will fit everyone’s budget, with drinks starting at a dollar. This is a great way to learn about wine without having to spend money on an entire bottle of wine that you won’t enjoy.
The SoMa area is a great place to start when you are looking for San Francisco nightlife.
