What to do and see in Downtown, California (CA): The Best Nightlife

February 11, 2022 Diedre Savory

Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

Biscuits and Blues

In San Francisco's Theater District, there’s a place where you can experience the best of America’s original artform: the blues. If you’re looking for live Blues music, look no further as you’ll find world-class musicians taking the stage at our intimate venue every night. We specialize in curating a special dinner and show experience with fantastic service for people of all ages. At a place like Biscuits and Blues, we feel the music should be enjoyed with cuisine reminiscent of the South to properly complement the sounds created on the stage; whether you’re ordering cocktails, appetizers, or a full on meal during a show. Out of our love and respect for the Blues genre, we put a great deal of thought, time, and effort into curating our lineup. After all, it’s our goal to share the Blues in its most authentic form. So get some tickets from the box office, grab a seat, and prepare for an authentic Blues music experience you won’t soon forget.

In San Fran for one night with my sister and looked up local improv and could NOT have had more fun. The performers were great, the service and bar amazing and there was an after show piano performance that topped the night off! I will definitely be back!

Cheaper Than Therapy

Stand-up comedy every weekend! Come see it on Thursdays at 9pm, Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm or 10pm, and Sundays at 7pm. Full bar, cheap drinks, and never any drink minimum. Regulars Jon Allen and Scott Simpson are joined the best comedians from around the Bay Area and beyond. The show is only suitable for 18 and over, due to the nature of the content. (Hey, it's a comedy club!) The show always ends in time to catch the BART. After the show, we all get together and go to a nearby bar to continue the festivities and answer questions about comedy. It's a great way to continue the party and make some new friends! Shows often sell out, so purchasing tickets in advance through the website is advised.

This show is a well-curated rotating cast of comedians, so it always feels fresh. I've been multiple times with different groups of friends over the years. The intimacy of the small stage makes the experience more immersive, you can really see, hear, and smell the comedy! I live locally and I keep coming back because it truly is cheaper than therapy.

Redwood Room

ust through the lobby of The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel is the famed Redwood Room. This intimate yet expansive bar has been at the center of the San Francisco social scene since it opened on the day after Prohibition was repealed. Luxuriate in the warmth from walls paneled from the wood of a single redwood tree. In addition to exquisite and artisanal cocktails you will find top shelf liquors, wines, beers, and gourmet small plates, some of which incorporate honey from the hotel’s rooftop bee sanctuary.
