Bay Area for 6 days

[Zepol87 9191]

I am headed back to the bay area later tonight for a 6 days. When I went last time in Feb work was brutal and I didn't get to do much. No real work till Monday this time. I am staying in Oakland till Monday then Napa until Wednesday. 

Only thing I am doing for sure is heading to Russian River sometime this weekend for a visit. I wanted to hit a Giants game but they are out of town and an A's game just doesn't do it for me. 

Help a messican out.

Muir Woods, Battery Spencer, Presidio, Alcatraz tour if there are still tickets. Find a bar that serves Pliny. 

mdleast can give you some good beer places.

Pick some grapes?

But seriously...what are your interests?

[Zepol87 9191]

Booze and broads!!!

Buddy told me of some place I need to hike but I have to look up the name can't remember. Museums? Best seafood?

[tejas60 3534]

You should hang out in the Castro district

[HenryJames 66171]

Go to Swan Oyster Depot for seafood.  Drink Anchor Steam and tell them to take care of you.

[Zepol87 9191]

I remember seeing that place from the Bay Area episode of Parts Unknown

[Washpark 176]

Probably best restaurant that I ever visited.

Expect to spend ~$250 per person

There is a Burma Superstar location in Oakland.  You should go there. 

Hard to go wrong on food in Napa.  Mustards, Cook., Solbar and a ton of other places are all great.   

[Zepol87 9191]

Going to Burma later right now going to some Mac and cheese place then headed up to santa rosa

[6th Street 6508]

You should hit up the Fillmore Street Jazz Festival in Pac Heights tomorrow afternoon. One of my favorite summer festivals in SF.

As for the evening, here are my go-to bars:

Marina: Jaxson's, Mauna Loa, Brixton, Tipsy Pig

North Beach: Maggie McGarry's, Columbus Cafe, Pete's Tavern, Tupelo

Do you have to stay in Oakland? I guess it's already too late for that question if you're already there. All of the recommendations you're getting and will get are for SF.  Going back and forth is a pain in the ass.

I liked the Lost and Found Beergarden when we were out there for Texas @ Cal.

ride the bart eating a burrito.  guaranteed fun times.

[Quagmire 2147]

Have gay sex

[Zepol87 9191]

Update: today worked a bit and then went to a winery in Napa t was great. Met a chick that works in the industry so it was super cheap. Fuck paying full price.

Now 5 Pliny the elders deep at Russian River.

 

[TornACL 7722]

5 Plinys. Oh yeah it's gonna be a good night. And a painful morning. 

[CooterBrown 18029]

Just got back from SF last week and I was surprised at how few bars there were. Granted I had kids in tow so I wasn’t looking for bars but they seemed few and far between compared to Austin.

But don't even think of taking the Anchor Brewery tour. You've got to book that way in advance.

I'm not a bitch... About to go to some tiki bar with some chick I met at our office in Fairfield.

Tomorrow plan is the city. Also wtf is hyphy? I don't like it lol. Also drunk

 

[Zepol87 9191]

Went to faction brewing today on a rec from mdleast. Pretty good time and beer. Then walked over to a winery across the street that had a random car meet up. Really cool people and a good time.

 

Also the fires are back and it completely fucks up the sky. Pretty weird to wake up with ash all over your car also

Head over to The Saloon while on Columbus Avenue. Oldest bar in SF that survived the 1904 earthquake. Live music and pbr on tap.

[Zepol87 9191]

Headed down there now

[Buzzrock 14941]

Do work Zep. Jelly of your Pliny.

Went and had lunch at Mamas on Washington square wasn't planning on it but the wait was less than 5 minutes. Very good

 

Walked to The Saloon after that. Crazy weird spot and just looks out of place but had a few beers. Decided to leave since I wanted to watch the soccer game and no TV's on.

 

Walked up the street to Tupelo and it had some Croatian girls in jerseys watching the game. Cool spot and decent beer. Stayed there for a bit before heading to Napa. Fire in Yolo county that is fucking up the sky this week.

 

Met some Mexicans at a park in Napa and player volleyball with them lol and got invited to a carne asada after. He tias loved me. Good times.

 

[TheFlyingBoat 907]

Go to Tartine Bakery and also get some ice cream at Salt and Straw. You're welcome.

[HenryJames 66171]

If you're going to Tartine, then you should get ice cream at Bi Rite.

[HornPhD 1368]

Mad Oak and Cato's in Oakland are good spots to drink some beer.

 

[Zepol87 9191]

Today is a little busy with work now that the soccer game is over. It will be a Napa day for me. Tomorrow I'll head back to SF.

Go to bounty hunter in down town napa and let us know what you think of their bbq.

[Zepol87 9191]

I might check that out in a bit. I'm a Stone right now across the street from it.

This place fucking sucks. I need to go see Champkind and cleanse my palate

 

Wine flights with brisket and pulled pork and sauces "from" Alabama and Carolina. This might be last meal before my flight and now I'm pissed.

 

 

 

[Zepol87 9191]

Edit: double post

[Paco 1934]

WTF is that

[Zepol87 9191]

A 19 dollar brisket sandwich

[Smax 3800]

Thanks for being the guinea pig, decent BBQ is hard to find out here

[Zepol87 9191]

I hate you

[Dewey 3292]

Poached brisket? I thought we gave California back to the commies?

[CooterBrown 18029]

If you're going to Tartine, then you should get ice cream at Bi Rite.

Recently had the salt and caramel at Bi Rite. It was legit.

[Zepol87 9191]

Had to get some aguachile at a little hole in the in the wall. So damn good

Necro bump. I’m going to Oakland for 24-48 hours in a few weeks. Any new Oakland tips in the last 3 years? 

[We’reTexas 1473]

Temescal is the place to be. Daytrip, Snail Bar, Rose’s - lots of stuff. 
 

Viridian has a strong argument for being one of the best new bars in the country in the past few years. Tomato Beef cocktail is the truth.
