Patrick's Pick
Caffe Trieste
Neighborhood - North Beach
Price - $
There are an unbelievable number of great coffee shops in SF. This cafe is where you hear about politics, poetry, and someone's overrated tech startup.

Mauna Loa
Neighborhood - Marina
Price - $
You know the kind of bar where you somehow make drunken friends every time you go? This is it. Don't understand how it happens it just does without fail.

Zeitgeist
Neighborhood - Mission
Price - $
One of the best dive bars in San Francisco and is often filled with people grabbing a beer and fantastic fries. Anthony Bourdain came here so how can you not go!

Mission Cliffs
Neighborhood - Mission
Price - $$
The Mission is already the place where pretentiousness dies. Come boulder with a bunch of like minded people [No need for a partner when you boulder!].
