SFO this weekend?
 
I'm kicking around SFO this weekend for no particular reason. Airportville Friday night, downtown Saturday night. I know at least one other FTer will be around.

Anyone else up for drinks?

we may be around depending on how well or badly my writing is going. Did you have somewhere in mind??/

We'll be getting off the Harrah's bus from Reno around 11pm on Post Street next to the Westin St. Francis if you want to meet up. :eek:

Well it's a picture perfect day by the bay. Took a run around the airport and am moving downtown. Any suggestions for outdoor cocktails this afternoon?

The Rogue in North Beach has a decent patio. Just about anywhere in North Beach will have outdoor/sidewalk seating.

Zeitgeist (near the Mission) is a great dive bar that has a huge enclosed outdoor area.

Rulli in Union Square has beer and wine, IIRC. And there's always the Cheesecake Factory, which has a terrace overlooking Union Square.

Dang, spotted this too late! I hope you didn't end up at the Cheesecake Factory, IMO the operative word in the name of that chain is "Factory."

We bounced around quite a bit:Foley's. Did stop by CCF just to have a beer standing on the rooftop outdoor patio. My suite at the Westin, Markbach's apartment off of Pine, Aziz a far cab ride away and, finally, mercifully, bed.
Good times.

I've never actually eaten at a Cheesecake Factory (the line's always outraegously long), but I like to take out-of-town guests up there for a drink and to enjoy the views from the terrace on a sunny afternoon.

After koko bailed on us, Beckles and I hit up a few more bars, including Cantina, where I got him to try the Laughing Buddha, possibly my favorite cocktail in the city.

Beckles Apr 19, 2009 4:43 pm

Well, it turns out switching from beer at Foley's to wine at dinner at Aziza (which was incredible, we did the $55 tasting menu and quite frankly it was a bargain I thought) to whatever it is Mark was forcing me to drink almost ended me ... I'm almost back to normal now as we are waiting in OAK for a flight back home.
