I have lived in SF for 4+ years. First off, the city is small, so don't be too scared of cabbing around. Cabs per mile are expensive but max cab price from end to end of the city is probably $25. Also download the Uber app if you want to roll in style with a towncar.

Marina - Probably the highest density of hot chicks in the city. Less diverse crowd (more white) than anywhere else in the city. I sort of think of it as a mix of LA and New England crowd. You'll actually see girls put in some effort here with makeup and dresses which unfortunately can be rare at times in the city. As an out of towner, it might be best to start around the triangle (also known as herpes triangle locally), at Filbert and Greenwhich. I don't hit this neighborhood up to much as I did because my my buddy who lived here moved, but its definitely a great place to put in work. Also the neighborhood you'd be most likely to see a younger girl with an older richer guy.

Nob Hill / Tendernob - If you want to class it up get a drink at the Top of the Mark at the top of the Mark Hopkins hotel. There's a few bars that have a little of a younger vibe too, Soda Popkinski, Wreck Room. I roll around the Tendernob more, where Nob hill meets the Tenderloin. These areas are also not so far from Polk St. which has a lot of bars.

Financial district / Embarcadero / SOMA - I am lumping these areas that are adjoining together. Good happy hour bars most work nights. A lot of the area dies down past 8pm early in the week. You have to have a destination in mind, but there are some busy bars and clubs. If it is what you are after, you can also find club nights that are predominately asian here, maybe search Yelp for them.

Mission - Traditionally latino neighborhood that still has some rough parts but is gentrifying faster than anywhere else in the city. Day time on the weekends check out Dolores Park where people hang out all day and drinking and drug use are basically tolerated. Zuckerburg recently bought a house a couple blocks away. Awesome food and a good nightlife. Easiest place to start the night off is probably around 16th and Valencia St where there's bars in every direction. Girls tend to be the biggest mix in the city of age, ethnicity, style, but also quality. Known as the 'hipster neighborhood'. Also where I live.

North beach - Lots of strip clubs. Some cool bars around Grant and Green streets. Haven't hit this place up recently but had some fun nights out here for sure. Picked up a girl at Vesuvio's a while back, which is the bar known for being where Jack Kerouac and the beat generation used to hang.

Western Addition / Haight / Hayes - Good restaurants and some bars. Definitely can have a fun time in any of these neighborhoods.

Sunset or Richmond also known as the avenues - Pretty far out and not much reason to go out here except for a few interesting restaurants. There's nightlife from UCSF students and some bars tend to be a little younger because of this.

Lately I've been hitting up the 'mixology' type bars and lounges around the city which tend to attract the crowd I like without being too douchey or out in the Marina. Here's a few: Tradition, Local Edition, Big, 25 Lusk, Rickhouse, Blackbird, Bourbon and Branch.

The food in SF is seriously amazing from high dining to street food from every type of cuisine. A lot has been said about the attitude of girls in SF, their lack of effort toward appearance and the general lack of girls, but its one of the few places in the world where you could bang a white, asian, latina, indian or who knows whet else depending upon how your night goes. Also a lot of the guys out here do well professionally but aren't very aggressive or put a lot of effort in themselves.

No shame.

No easier place to take an "L" on the night than in California.

Man, I spent the craziest weekend in SF. This city is one giant playground for Adults.

I've been doing some thinking about the crowds here. Everybody here in the main city portion of SF is populated by people who did not grow up here. Some really crazy characters out here.

Nightlife is ridiculous because of taxis (15 dollars anywhere in the city), and wide variety of venues.

Also +1 to the blazer, v-neck and pocket square. The cool clothes definetly got me some good times this weekend.

Edit- Shoutout to WestCoast for hanging out. Giovonny, I am bummed we couldn't hang out, but our schedules didn't correspond. Next time!

Clift Hotel aka Redwood Room

Went there on Friday night. Opened a set of young 23 y/o American chicks. One had moved to SF from DC a month ago. Conversation was pretty dull and just in the nick of time I spotted an ice cold set of blondes who looked like sisters (and they were). This is an upscale venue and though there were dudes around, I'm guessing they were intimidated by the looks of those blondes. They were also seated on a couch engaged in seemingly deep convo. The two American girls said they needed to hit the restroom and would return. I had no intention on talking to them again. I approached the sisters as they were seated while I was standing up. Built up some rapport and then told them to make room for me on the couch. I had a bottle of Stella in my hand and eventually one of the sisters went up to the bar to get reup on drinks and without asking brought me another Stella. I was impressed.

It's well known that that place is where the pros are. Waste of game.

"This is such a fun place to people watch! I can understand if you are single this bar would seem a little creepy with all the guys on the hunt and all the young girls looking for a sugar daddy, but to me, I could have stayed all night watching all the interactions."
-----------------

"I've had hookers try and poach my date while I was sitting less than 3 feet away. Have to admit thought, she was pretty hot.

-----------------
"Ladies, this is the time to work the crowd and get those free cocktails. I'm sure you won't have a hard time, the male to female ratio is definitely in your favor. "

-----------------
"a) perfect sausagefest - my female friends often go there to get drunk for free when they're broke
b) used to be a bona fide perpetual hooker convention, but last year it became much less visible - my guess - this crowd may have died from hunger during recession
c) most men in Redwood Room are under that dangerous impression they will get laid in San Francisco tonight; and I'm talking about the out-of-town straight men."

-----------------
"Apparently this is a hot spot for high end call girls to meet or pick up old rich men. I noticed very young attractive women with much older, unattractive, out of shape men who looked wealthy. Didn't make a whole lot of sense until I found out that it was common at this lounge. So don't be surprised to see a 20 something blonde sliding her high heels up and down the side of 60 year old man's khakis while conversing in a flirtatious manner."

-----------------
"The crowd is interesting... one guy tried to pick us up by saying he was looking for a trophy wife, and when we didn't respond to that, started going on about his 5 million dollar house. If you are looking for a sugar daddy, clearly this is the place to be. With that in mind, dress code is definitely upscale but be careful of revealing clothing, as you might be confused for an escort. Apparently that's also a thing here."

-----------------
"CONS: ...the women working the "night shift", if you catch me drift.
...the foreigners and/or older men who aggressively try to pick up well dressed young ladies who are out with the friends having a good time. Maybe because of the aforementioned point..?"

-----------------
"single men with their wing man trying to chase tail and having no luck (yeah i know there are some of those in every bar).

random man: are you asian (yes this was his pick-up line, p.s. don't ever use this)
me: no (and then i just look away)
my friend: we are in the middle of a conversation
random man: I'm asian, I'm vietnamese. You look vietnamese. I'm here to get laid tonight but don't worry my friend likes your friend so i'll hook her up too
(as a side note, i don't look asian at all)
my friend: again, we are in the middle of a conversation (we then proceed to show engagement rings and give blank stares)
5 min later he comes back
random man: so you girls ready to F*** tonight?

really?! like really.."

-----------------
"Maybe it's the shadowy, sensuous mood lighting. Or the deeply masculine Redwood paneling that makes you feel like you're lounging in the exclusive, invite-only library den of a monied playboy. Possibly, it's the sexually-infused imbibements, ladden with exotic ingredients and heavy parts alcohol.

Nah. I'm pretty sure it's the 5:1 ratio of men to women - with the majority of those XY's being prominent, international business men; investment bankers from Tokyo, sheiks from the United Emirates, shipping moguls from Greece -all with the same carnal thirst for the ephemerally fleeting essence of a San Franciscan female. Is this what a wounded antelope feels like happening upon a pride of ravenous lions? Quiiiiite possibly.

Whatever the reason(s), the magic of the Redwood Room somehow manages to transform homely women into attractive ones, attractive women into beautiful ones, and beautiful women into unattainable supermodels. It should be renamed "The Upgrade Room." As an XX, you'll never know the price of those 4 stiff martinis your slid down your throat, because men are practically fencing each other to buy you a drink, vying to be more to you than just another business card in the girl's bathroom trash can. If you are an aspiring gold-digger, bring your shovel here. Exactly how many indecent proposals have those creepy wall painting eyes been witness to? "

-----------------
Once in a while, I like to pretend to be a sophisticated lady and go to a swanky environment with older, more upscale clientele. While I'm a fan of the Redwood Room and give the actual bar four stars (great decor and friendly bartenders), it's filled with the biggest grandpa douchebags in all of San Francisco, hence the poor overall rating. Listen up, old farts:

1. DO NOT tell me my dress is "sensual" and proceed to grope me. I am not your wife/girlfriend/prostitute/stripper.
2. DO NOT follow my friend and I all over the bar without saying a word, you fucking creeps!
3. Quit asking if my friend and I are related. We look nothing alike. Please see your optometrist ASAP.
4. No, I am not a runner nor have you ever bumped into me at a 24-Hour Fitness.

Oh yeah, there are plenty of cougars here as well. They come with their husband and hunt for fellow swingers. Meow!"

-----------------
"One whole star for running into our dashing ex-Mayor Willie Brown there. He asked me to marry him,* by the way, but I think he says that to all blondes, or probably women in general."
