Neeharika Bhartiya: Very elite (pretentious) feel on weekday nights with the dark, formal decor and candles / mood lighting
Mira: If you eat upstairs be sure to check out the downstairs bar and room. Also, the Japanese grits were spicy and yummy.
Brett Lider: Douchey as fuck but damn I like to be able to sit down and look at gorgeous architecture.

Martin Assmann: Little speakeasy but not easy to find. Look for the big clock in the window of the Hearst building. Downstairs is a dimly lighted bar themed on old-school newspaper. Cocktails are very crafted!
Richa Nawani: High tables, low lighting and innovative cocktails - lovely!
Ali Anderson: 1920's themed cocktail bar with a speak easy atmosphere. Awesome place to meet up for a cocktail - lots of seating and standing room.

Amina: Saw Owl City here....awesome! The venue is small and intimate, so reserving a table in the balcony means that you can sit down and watch your performance but still see and hear everything well.
Mica Pirie: There's a bathroom downstairs near the coat check. Empty & clean at a sold out show
@irabrianmiller: Dope SF venue. Definitely make it out to a show

P Tucci: Tequila , draft beer, friendly patrons , hot bartenders
Manhunt: Yes, that is a man tied up. Do we need to paint you a (kinky) picture?
Aaron Blumenthal: An excellent place to bring straight people who you'd really rather not talk to ever again.

Italian Restaurant · SoMa · 30 tips and reviews
Paul Ark: Grilled squid, shrimp & asparagus puff pastry, and sea bass-filled ravioli with lobster reduction were all delicious. Service is fantastic
Tamas Kalman: Awesome Italian restaurant, super nice staff, tasty food - this place is a hidden gem.
Riccardo Pavesi: The caciucco fish soup, the spaghetti and the dessert were really excellent! As an Italian who’s lived in the states for 7 years, this is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve found!
