3. The Monk's Kettle

Along with Toronado, which doesn't serve food, the Monk's Kettle is San Francisco's primary beer-geek destination. On tap are rare Belgian trippels, domestic sour beers from tiny breweries in the Midwest, and cult California brews, and the bottle list has the depth expected of leather-bound wine lists at Masa's and Acquerello. The food under new chef Adam Dulye has become lighter and more complex (sample dish: Pacific Tombo, sunchoke purée, olive-oil-poached cherry tomato), and the waitstaff is trained to offer pairings for most dishes.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
