I suggest visiting around sunset. The view is absolutely breathtaking and you’ll get that perfect golden hour lighting for photos!

Don't shy away from asking the bartenders for cocktail recommendations – they know their stuff and can whip up something fantastic based on your taste!

I suggest taking the hike up to Coit Tower instead of driving; the walk is worth it and you'll enjoy the views along the way. Just wear comfy shoes, since the hill is steep!

I suggest getting there early, around 5 PM, to snag the best parking. The area can get pretty packed, and trust me, you don’t want to be circling around looking for a spot!

I think they have a happy hour from 3 to 6 PM, which is totally worth checking out! You can get some delicious drinks for less and enjoy the view at the same time.

I suggest checking out any special events beforehand. They sometimes have live performances or screenings that can make your experience much cooler.
