Re: Moving to San Fran, nightlife?
Check out Old Skool Cafe. The food and service here is legit. Everything on the menu is amazing.
It has an interesting history behind it too. I won't spoil that for you though and encourage you to look into it.
It has its name for a reason. It's a 1940s-esque cafe wit waiters donned in dress shirts, bow ties, and fedoras.
I don't know if you're into the rave scene or what not but I never fail to impress when I bring a date or a client here.
