This is an adult ping-pong! You probably, remember playing ping pong at a rec. center or in a buddy’s garage. To be honest that last time I saw a ping pong table was in college and we were playing beer pong!!! SPiN, is the ideal ping pong room. You have your own table, a huge bucket of balls, you do not have to chase after the one ball that got away. You also, have a server who brings you fresh cocktails and tasty bar food! 

In the background you have music video’s playing on big screen TVs and people jumping in and out of a tub filled with ping pong balls. Literally the perfect boomerang waiting to happen. 

From the text above it sounds luxe and you can bet there is a luxe price. It is about $30 per 30 minutes. Crazy, but remember where you are and if you have a few friends you can easily cut the price down. You cannot miss this one even if it is just for one game!

This is not your hometown miniature golf course. Located in the Mission District, the 14 hole mini course  is made up of intricate and detailed contraptions to keep the game interesting. The food is award-winning and the bar let’s you bring your happy hour cocktails to the course. 

For $12 a person, you cannot beat the potential to kick your friends asses in putt putt.  Currently they are running a 2-4-1 special on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Check It Out.

Once a church now converted into a roller skating rink! This may sound crazy, but my girlfriend did this for her birthday, we all dressed up 70’s themed, laced up our roller skates and skated in a church. I had never heard of such a thing before I moved here. What better way to mix up your Friday night? 

It is adults only after 8 pm and they play all the disco and funk music you can think of and you can’t forget the black lights. Takes me back to the roller skating birthdays I grew up going to. Too bad my feet did not remember how to roller skate, whoops. 

Church of 8 Wheels Happy Hour

You can rent your gear there for $5. The entry fee is $10 and dressing up is optional. Unfortunately there are no boozy drinks in the church but that is what pre-gaming is for.

On Thursday’s the museum closes its doors to the underage. They serve drinks and let the adults play in the science museum. All 650 exhibits are open, but now you do not have to fight a kid for your turn. 

The hours are from 6-10 pm and you can get in for under $20. The Exploratorium has different events each week too, so check it out before your stop by.This is a great way to mix up your regular happy hour. Also, good for company events!

On Thursday Nights does a similar adult night like the Exploratorium, but it has animals as a bigger focus. The Nightlife tickets gives you access to the nocturnal side of the museum. Every Thursday they have a different theme and sometimes special events going on. It is less than $20 to get in. This is next on my list to check out!

If you are looking for dinner and show Wednesday through Sunday this is your spot! I love it here. It is a drag show and hunny it is one of the best I have seen. I have gone to them in South Florida and the AsiaSF ladies take the cake! The food is good, it is a three course’s of Asian fusion. 

My go-to order is: Chicken Satay, Filet Mignon and for dessert the Chocolate Cake or Trio Ice Cream! Kinky cocktails, a bar downstairs with a stripper pole to warm up before dinner or after.  This is another staple that we bring all of our company too!
