What is there to do from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. in San Francisco?
I have a layover flight in San Francisco tonight, I am on my way to Arizona. I have never been to San Francisco so I want to make the best of my 6 or 7 hours there. The airport is only 13 miles away so I thought it would be a good idea to at least see the city. Anyone got any ideas? Or any good places to eat near by? And keep in mind the 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. part!

Go to a jazz club. Introduce yourself to all the $3 whores who lock themselves all night every night into the big green public restroom boxes. Shake hands with all the homeless people who sh*t into the city's public trash cans in broad daylight. Take phone videos of guys butt-slamming each other in public alleyways 20 feet from traffic. Walk through all the dead chickens hanging upside down above sidewalks outside shops in Chinatown. Drink in the aroma of the homeless people who literally live in the doorway of every Starbuck's in the city. Go to Michaelangelo's Italian restaurant near Nob Hill and have some of the best pasta ever.

For what it's worth, Crumb is incorrect. Those are more than likely ducks hanging in the windows not chicken. As far as late night: http://www.dnalounge.com/calendar/2009/02.html http://www.elementlounge.com/concept.htm http://www.castlenews.com/ Most bars are open til 2am. If you are under 21 you may run into some problems...

you can go to the end-up, an after hours club that is very famous. they don't open until 2 or something. or you can eat at sparky's on church street. you'll have to take a cab or supershuttle into the city.

There are some clubs and bars open until 2:00. Very few places are open past that, with the exception of a few 24-hour restaurants: http://www.sfbg.com/37/30/cover_sl_778.html Edit: The End Up is open late; it's a gay club, if that makes a difference to you.

Well, most raves start then. The raves usually end around 5, 6 or 7 and start at 11 or whatever, you know? So yeah go to a good rave.

at 11pm you can go to powell (downtown) by the bart that is in the sfo airport. oh, but i think they close at 12 so you could get back by taxi. i love the powell at night because at noon its really crowded. and at night i usually sit in the union square across the macys/cheesecake factory. listening to people in the streets play jazz music or drums. its really nice and its not like its empty on downtown at that time.there are people still walking around also. you can go to chinatown.(u can walk if u want from powell. about 15-20minutes.) go to sam wo, its a noodle place open till 2am. very cheap and good noodles. go to twin peak. by car though.. its up in the mountain or hill. it has a very very cool scenery of the city. best spot to look at night. or go to the pier 39. (fishermans wharf) itll all all be closed though i think. but you can see the sea lions by the pier. and walk around the pier. its also really nice have fun!
