By SENSE:
I live in the Grand Ave./Lake Merritt area in Oakland and I love it. But, sometimes you just gotta get away and take a break from your life.
This weekend I am going to do that, but I’m doing in it in San Francisco. Sound weird…? Between work and other obligations, and a lack of funds, I am unable to take a proper vacation to some remote or exotic location. So… I’m going to go on vacation right across the Bay.
A good friend of mine is coming up from Santa Barbara and he is hooking up a stay at the Four Seasons Hotel on Friday night and he has access to an apartment in the Marina on Saturday.
I am familiar with the Downtown/Tenderloin/SoMa area, where the Four Seasons is located… so I think I got Friday figured out. Some sort of combination of a drink at the Four Seasons Bar when he arrives, a couple drinks at a spot I know he will like, Bourbon & Branch (check this place out if you haven’t yet) and of course we’ll end up at Foley’s (my favorite Irish Pub in the city).
The Marina however, is unchartered territory for me.
Does anyone out there have suggestions for where one can partake in vacation like activities and get appropriately inebriated on the waterfront?
Now I know what some of you might be thinking… why do I want to hang out in the Marina…? Remember… I am going to be on vacation. It might be fun to be a tourist for the weekend.

there aren’t a whole lot of waterfront watering holes out there in the marina that i know of. stay away from bar none, make sure to pop your pink polo collar and don’t forget your pocketbook…
Hey G#2….have you been to sams? if it’s nice, head over on the ferry Saturday afternoon. It’s in Tiburon. VERY marina-esque (make sure to bring your rainbows and gucci glasses) but nonetheless a fun bar right on the water with a beautiful view of the city. just dont get too hammered for matt’s party Saturday night.
Chelsea says…Mamacita, on Chestnut (near A16) and/or Umami, on Webster at Union. Both have great vibe, food & drink.
