The weekend is unlocked.
Your devotion to conducting extensive cocktail research will be amply rewarded at Bar Drake's new happy hour. Start with something classic like the Aviation, then get your second for a mere 28 cents. It's all in honor of the hotel's opening in 1928—too bad it wasn't 1901.
We can't think of a more motivating workout than one named after a woman—Fran, Helen, Jackie—which is how the nomenclature works at CrossFit's newest gym in Sausalito. Head there for free cross-training workout sessions all day, and try not to joke about having done both Helen and Fran.
Nearly 40 Bay Area craft brewers (including Russian River, Speakeasy and Magnolia) are offering up barrels of winter brews during this seven-hour fest. And beer-spiked pork sandwiches and sausages will be present, because you should always match your food to your drink. Think of it as a warm-up for Strong Beer Month, starting Monday.
A whole Marin Sun Farms hog will be roasted and broken down for this five-courser with passed apps and optional whiskey pairings. You'll find the pig in all its belly, crackling and rillette glory (what other kind is there?).
Start at Yoshi's, then make it over to 1300 On Fillmore, Rasselas and Sheba on this neighborhood cocktail crawl featuring all things rum. The proceeds from this drinking marathon go to a local charity. And what better way to take advantage of this dry spell than a liquor-soaked evening?
