Nightlife: San Francisco nightlife is as varied as San Francisco, and each San Francisco neighborhood's bars, clubs and lounges have distinct vibes. For electronic music clubs, hip hop and chill art lounges, try San Francisco's SOMA. For bar hopping with hipsters and rockers, Mission district rules. More elegant bars can be found in the Marina district. Gay-friendly bars and clubs exist all over. San Francisco's North Beach is open until the wee hours with neon strip joints and cool hideaway bars.

You will also find many Irish bars scattered around the city; these offer good food with live music in the evenings. Live sports, like English football are shown in most bars.
