"A red velvet rope outside a restaurant in SF is about as rare as bare shoulders in June. But you’ll find one at Meski. The two-story Afro-Latin and Ethiopian restaurant is part-owned by Draymond Green, and that’s one reason why this place requires that rope. The other is its daily late-night hours and club-like atmosphere with low-lighting and pulsing music. Most days, you’ll see people waiting for a seat outside in everything from sparkly dresses to Curry jerseys at this Lower Nob Hill spot. It's a jolt of energy to the city’s usual Oura-dictated curfew, so anyone rebellious enough can shun their early bedtime, sip on coffee-spiked cocktails, and pretend the city’s nightlife scene is always like this. Anyone who can list all four Curry kids by name" - julia chen 1, patrick wong
