I went out in the Haight last night (lower and upper) and it was absolutely horrible. It was so bad I couldn't believe it was a Saturday night. One block of Polk is better than 10 blocks in the Haight.

Do you have any recommendations, WestCoast? As for my look, girls almost always tell me I have a "New York" look when I'm dressed down, and sometimes a "European" look when dressed-up. I get a shit ton of IOIs, but I am blowing up a lot of sets due to rusty/bad game.

I used to live in the Haight, and you're right about not much going on there at night (upper Haight is for day game). The better nightlife scene is actually a couple of blocks down Divisadero (going toward Oak and Fell) in the Western Addition.

Madrone on Fell and Divis is one of my personal favs and usually fills up on weekends. They also have a pretty good salsa night on Thursdays.

There's also The Page (dive bar), Bar Fly (never been), and the Independent (music venue), as well as several very popular restaurants around. The Bean Bag cafe (also called the scene bag) is a pretty good late day/afternoon game spot with good wine and beer on the cheap.

Have you checked out the Mission? The Mission is pretty cracking. I and several friends have picked up chicks out of the Elbo Room. The 16th and mission area (Mission, Valencia, etc) is packed with bars and restaurants, and Mission St. itself has bars all along its length out to around 30th IIRC.

You may also want to check out the Broadway strip over in North Beach. It's full of scumbags and strip clubs (makes even the TL look classy), but it can be a fun time.
