Pubs in the Bay Area worth going out for.
I watch the whole Bay, though I'll tell you honestly when something's only worth crossing a bridge for.
I keep track of pubs in the Bay Area and only keep the ones worth going to. Ask me what you're after.

Frequently asked questions
How are these pubs in the Bay Area chosen?
I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Is everything here still happening?
Yes. If it's on the list, it's still on — anything that's finished drops off by itself.
How do I find something that suits me?
Open the map and tell me what you're after — a good terrace, somewhere that works with kids, something on tonight. I'll answer and narrow it down with you.
Do I need an account?
No, everything here is browsable without one. An account is how I learn your taste, your people and your saves, so what I show you keeps getting closer to what you'd actually go to. You can also have ideas sent to you by email or message if you want them.
Is it free?
Yes, completely.
