Nightlife in San Fransico, San Francisco

“Nightlife in San Fransico” is a self-guided walking tour in San Francisco, United States, made by Green Tortoise Hostel San Francisco. It takes about 4 hours, costs a one-off US$2 to unlock and runs in your phone’s browser with a live map, so you can start whenever you like. No app or account needed.

There are plenty of great bars and clubs just a short walk from the hostel!

Monroe, located just across the street, is one of the most popular clubs in the area. They host events every weekend, starting on Thursdays, so it’s a great option if you’re looking to go out without traveling far.

Just a 5-minute walk along Grant Ave, you’ll find several popular bars. Some of our recommendations are Saloon, Tupelo, April Jean’s, Savoy Tivoli, and Li Po.

Saloon is one of the oldest bars in the area and has live music almost every night of the week. Right next door, Tupelo is a fun bar/club with karaoke and darts, making it a great spot for a more casual night out.

Savoy Tivoli often has electronic music and DJs playing on the weekends, while Li Po, located in Chinatown, is one of the neighborhood’s most famous bars. It can get especially crowded on weekends, so it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a lively atmosphere.

Looking for a bigger club?

If you’re looking for a proper clubbing experience, there are also some great options about 15 minutes by car from the hostel, including 1015 Folsom, F8, and DNA Lounge.

1015 Folsom is the biggest of the three and is a popular choice for a full night of dancing and clubbing.

Pro tip: If you’re going out on a weekend, we recommend starting early at one of the nearby bars and then heading to a club later in the night!
