1. Starbelly

Certified cicerone Rich Higgins (also the brewmaster at Social Kitchen) manages the beer program at Starbelly, and it's one of our favorite lists in town, chosen with food pairing in mind: few double-IPAs with their palate-killing bitterness, tons of Belgians and American Belgian-style ales, plus curiosities from Italy and Mexico. Adam Timney's California cuisine is thoughtful but not overthought, in touch with the season and the times, and easy to find yourself eating on a regular basis.

Runners up: Tipsy Pig, Rosamunde Mission, Delarosa, and Pi Bar. If you count being able to eat shawarma and brats inside Toronado, that'd be one of our favorites, too.

  • 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.'"
