  • Nightlife Spot: Top of the Mark

    The "Top of the Mark" is an elegant bar at the top of the Mark Hopkins Hotel in Nob Hill that offers some great views. They have some occasional live music. It is a bit pricy, but you can take the elevator up and just check out the view. Enjoy some old school San Francisco at its finest.

    Art / Theater / Concerts: Half Price Tickets
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • San Francisco Art / Theater / Concerts
  • Half Price Ticket Booth in Union
  • Square
  • by SteveOSF
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Nightlife Spot: Art / Theater / Concerts

    Half price show tickets can be purchased at Union Square. Tickets for theater, dance, and music are available at a discount. The discount is primarily for same-day shows that will likely not be sold out. These do include some quality theatrical productions. Naturally the producers would prefer to sell a discounted seat than to leave one vacant.

    The tickets are available at a booth in Union Square. It is located on the northwest portion of the square closest to Post and Powell Streets. This is extremely convenient to visitors staying at a Union Square hotel or simply spending an afternoon in the Union Square District who are looking for something to do in the evening.

    Discounts are not available for every show as many sell out in advance. But if you are in town and would like to see a show, check out what is available at the half price ticket booth. You might encounter a significant savings.

    Vodka Voda Lounge: Popular, but Crowded Financial District Lounge
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Nightlife Spot: Vodka Voda Lounge

    The Vodka Voda Lounge is popular with the after work crowd. This trendy nightspot offers a variety of specialty martinis along with typical bar drinks. It has an interesting, somewhat dark interior. The martinis were fairly good, but a bit overpriced. It tends to get crowded in the evenings. Its limited seating means that for many it is standing room only. The music tends to be a bit too loud to carry on a conversation. It might be worth trying if you are in the mood for a fancy martini and can get a seat before the crowds show up. But better options exist in the City if you are looking for a drink and conversation with friends.
