"When you have a friend who is trying to “be chill” about their birthday, only to reveal two days before the big day that they want an intimate gathering with their entire contact list, the answer is Woods Lowside. The Lower Haight beer and wine bar serves Joyride Pizza in a long space with tons of booths and a secluded back patio, where you can easily fit 20 people around the picnic tables. Stick a candle in one of the hefty Detroit-style pies and call it a party." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
