It’s usually just because those are convenient places with a lot of seating and no need to make reservations for a group of uncertain size. I’m not much of a drinker, but I’ve found that some of the best places in terms of food and atmosphere are the bar & grill places, at least in the Bay Area.

speak for yourself. the only way I’m going to deal with meeting you fictional interweb people in the real world is by getting carnival freak wasted

I don’t make the rules I just follow them. I think I just have the San Francisco equivalent of fearing anything that seems too “bridge and tunnel” I guess here its just “bridge and bridge”

Us natives don’t really give a shit where in the Bay Area you live, unless maybe your boss thinks you live too far from work because you need to be available on quick notice or something like that.

Excuse me, but I’m from Marin. Which means I’m better than all of you penninsula-dwelling peons.

Wait,there’s going to be mouth-slapping there? 
Oh, man, I am so there!

Clearly, you’ve gotten a head start on all the drinking.
Oooooh! Oooh!
Can I join in? I’m new to the Bay Area, and officially new to the dope (long time lurker) and would like to meet some new folks down here
I’m OK with any date, and something near Fisherman’s wharf would be ideal, transportation wise.
I just checked the website for Jacks and see that Strongbow is available - Anywhere I can get a cider gets my vote!

Ciders aren’t too hard to find. If you like Magners, pretty much any Irish pub will have it; even the fake ones.

I only work on the peninsula. I live in the East Bay. We’re the ones that do all the hard labor that enables your profligate ways, bucko. Well, I don’t do hard labor, I make games. So you can just go back to your hypocritical hippie yet rich enclave and play with the toys that people like me make.
So, this is looking pretty official, no?

If anybody out there uses Google calendar, I went ahead and made an event you can add to make it even easier.

Yep, you sure are a Yelper.
As always, I (a) would love to make it, (b) probably won’t, and © will cross my fingers for next time.

The whenever part is good. I’ll try to be there but no guarantees. My friends (the non-Doper kind) have been trying to schedule a Saturday group dinner for weeks, and given my luck, it may fall on the 3rd.
If it doesn’t, I’ll see you guys there. I’ll offer rides if it gets too late.

I hear there’s a pretty cool bar/restaurant on Jefferson street that could handle a large group or two on a Saturday night…

Google Calendar Event

This doesn’t seem to work for me. It just goes to a "add new event’ page.
[side note: this rain seems be making a mess out of traffic. ugh. ]
