"If you can’t decide whether you’d rather be outside today or watching a game, tell everyone to meet you at Valley Tavern in Noe Valley. The back patio is one of the best in the city—it has multiple levels to it, each with a large picnic table and TV so your friends can feel like they have their own private patio while everyone watches the game. But because of San Francisco weather, you might wind up inside, which recently got a facelift. Sit in one of the U-shaped booths for prime sports watching—they look up to the large TVs and sort of feel like being in a theater." - lani conway, julia chen 1, will kamensky
