Find your third home.
Those venues you'd never discover on Google and people you actually stay in touch with after.
Best For
People who'd rather befriend the local business owner than chase Instagram moments. You're tired of awkward forced hangouts and rigid schedules. You're down to see where the night takes you.
What to Expect
Start at a local spot with exclusive perks - free appetizers at hidden restaurants, discounted pastries at neighborhood cafes, or tickets to shows you won't find online. Once the chemistry's flowing, the group decides what's next. No itineraries, just discovering SF based on the vibe we're feeling - unplanned adventures that become the stories you cherish.
Upcoming Events
North Beach Photo Walk
Round #3 and final photo walk of the year LFG. Bring a camera, good vibes, and dress warm since it'll be chilly. This event is welcome to all ages and photography experience levels! Rough plan so far: 1. Photo walk around North Beach (route TBD) 2. Get dinner at China Live (can generally accommodate large groups) 3. Bar hop
Past Events
Cocktails & Connections @ RM 212
Tucked away right outside the Financial District, RM 212 is a craft cocktail speakeasy lounge run by two NY brothers bringing hospitality to the Bay. Think prohibition-era vibes fused with modern mixology served late night. The vibe: Intimate space, great cocktails, easy conversation. No pretension, just good drinks and good people. The perks (pick your move): Buy any cocktail, get 50% off the same cocktail (double down on your favorite) Buy one small plate, get 50% off all beers, wines, and mocktails (food + drinks sorted) Exclusive to our group. General Format: 6:30pm: Doors open, grab your first round 7:00pm: Mingle rotations begin (8 min each) 8:30pm: Free-flow vibe—stay as long as you want or peel off anytime with new friends to explore the neighborhood for food or whatever you're feeling. Your call. Whether you're a cocktail nerd or just looking to meet new people in a chill setting, this is your spot.
Castro Photo Walk
Back by popular demand, we're doing another photo walk in the city. This time we'll be exploring Castro where neon signs, colorful storefronts, and lively street energy create a cinematic atmosphere that makes every corner feel like its own vibrant scene. At least that's what ChatGPT says and I couldn't come up with a better description so let's go with that. Bring good vibes and something to take pictures with! Just like the first photo walk, there's no set route or plan. We're going to roam around wherever looks interesting, snap some photos, and get food and drinks after. This event welcomes folks of all ages and is not exclusive to Millennials/Gen Z.
Beat the Monday Blues @ Emmy's Spaghetti
Most Mondays suck. This one won't. We're taking over Emmy's Spaghetti Shack patio for a standing reception—drinks, vibes, and their legendary cheesy bread. Buy any drink ($10+), get the cheesy bread free. The vibe: You just survived another Monday. You're tired, hungry, and done with small talk. So, grab a drink, eat absurd amounts of carbs, talk to whoever's next to you. After the structured hour, stick around to figure out where to go next with your new friends—maybe hit a bar nearby, grab actual dinner, just keep the vibe going based on what the group's craving and see what happens.
