There are
lots of great places to drink. Some of them are fairly cheap.
- Zeitgeist A great dive bar with a huge patio.
- Noe Valley Tavern: Friendly Irish bar in Noe Valley.
- Route 101: Very seedy, but huge TVs and unpretentious.
Bars can be an expensive activity, especially in San Francisco. You can always buy booze and drink with friends at someone's house.
Napa is right next door, so there is a ton of great wine to be had. Some of it isn't too expensive.
