White Wolf Cafe & Bar

I suggest stopping by on a Saturday morning for their brunch – the atmosphere is lively and the mimosas are a must-try! They get crowded later, so an early arrival around 10 AM is best.

One thing I wish I knew before my visit is to set aside a little time for people-watching; it's such a vibrant crowd! Grab a corner seat with a drink and just enjoy the scene.
Parliament House

My advice is to pace yourself. I got carried away with the dancing before realizing I hadn't eaten – a big mistake. Grab a bite at their snack bar to keep your energy up.

I suggest checking out the drink specials before you order – they can save a ton of money! I found some amazing cocktails for half the price during Happy Hour, which is usually from 6 PM to 8 PM.

I think it's worth investing in a VIP area if you're going with friends. We split the cost and it was so nice to have our own space, plus it came with bottle service that was cheaper than buying drinks individually.
Abbey

I think hitting Abbey on a Thursday night is a game-changer; the vibe is electric with less crowding. You’ll get better service and a more relaxed atmosphere.

My advice is to take advantage of their happy hour from 4-8 PM for affordable drinks and tasty bites. It made my night way more budget-friendly!
Ziegfeld’s

You might want to arrive before 10 PM on weekends; the vibe gets super lively after that. Also, keep an eye out for drink specials that can save you some cash.

Check out the themed nights; they’re a blast! I went on a ’90s night, and it was packed with nostalgic tunes and awesome performances.
Island House

I recommend checking out the events calendar before you go. They often host themed nights that really bring the community together and made my stay way more enjoyable!

I suggest booking your stay during the week, as rates tend to drop significantly compared to weekends. I saved quite a bit this way!

My advice is to try the happy hour at the bar; the cocktails are amazing and half-priced from 5 to 7 PM, so you can enjoy a good drink without breaking the bank.

I think it’s worth investing in a spa treatment. It's a bit of a splurge, but after a long day of exploring, it helps you relax and makes your stay feel more special.
Palace

My advice is to arrive around 10 PM if you want to catch the best drag shows. The vibe gets way better as the night goes on and you'll get a great seat if you're early!

I suggest checking out the happy hour from 6 to 9 PM; it really helps to save some cash on drinks! The cocktails are delish and super worth it.

I recommend asking the bartenders for their specials. I found out about this fab drink that wasn't on the menu, and it turned into my new fave!

You might want to dress up a bit. I wore something chill but felt a bit underdressed once I got there. So, maybe add a stylish touch to your outfit.
San Francisco Badlands

I suggest checking out the smaller, lesser-known bars. I stumbled upon a hidden gem and had way more fun than at the bigger places that felt crowded and touristy.

Be ready to dance all night, but wear comfy shoes! I learned that the hard way—my feet were killing me by midnight. Flat shoes = more fun!
FreeZone

One thing I learned the hard way is to wear comfy shoes. You’ll be dancing a lot, and trust me, your feet will thank you later!
SF-Eagle
My advice is to check if there are any special events or themed nights during your visit. I found out they host drag shows sometimes, which are a blast!

I recommend getting there around 10 PM if you wanna avoid the long lines. It gets packed later, and trust me, nobody likes waiting!

I think bringing cash is a good move. Some bars had odd card policies, and I ended up paying a little more because of that. Just keep some green on hand for tips too!

If you’re feeling peckish, pop by the food truck outside. Their tacos were surprisingly good and a perfect late-night snack! I would’ve skipped grabbing food at a sit-down place before going in.
Steamworks
I think bringing your own towel is a good idea. They do provide them, but I felt more comfortable using my own. Also, it can save you time waiting for one!

I suggest going on a weeknight instead of the weekend. It was less crowded when I went on a Tuesday, so I could explore without feeling rushed.

My advice is to check out the happy hour specials! I found some great deals on drinks, which helped me save some cash while enjoying the vibe

Do a quick tour of the place first before diving into the fun. I missed out on some cool features because I didn't explore enough at the start.
