Most San Francisco residents would say that the Inner Mission District has transformed into a significantly hip joint over the last decade.
The Mission has created this reputation by combining a large volume of contemporary entertainment options in the form of thrift stores, innumerable coffee-houses, dive bars, art galleries, bookstores and ultramodern theaters.
This is complemented by the BART station services that help to connect the Valencia Street, the 16th and the Mission as one of the most popular San Francisco locales for hanging-out, catering to every age group. Visitors to this part of San Francisco should definitely explore the following options:
The Troll Window (18th Street, between Valencia and Mission Street, San Francisco) — this has to be one of the most unusual places on the entire San Francisco shopping scene. This is an entire apartment that has been dedicated to displaying a vast range of outrightly bizarre, troll dolls whole appearance and themes are changed on a monthly basis. Even more strangely, the place is amazingly popular and even has international visitors!
Victoria Theatre (2961 16th Street, Capp Street, San Francisco) — this eternal San Francisco landmark has been staging plays and theatre shows for more than a century. Even now, shows and lectures by local universities are scheduled along with the occasional readings. A near-perfect place for those who are a bit intellectually inclined.
Blondie’s Bar and No Grill (540 Valencia Street, San Francisco) — one of most popular evening spots in the entire Mission area. The purple-colored décor and the sidewalk seating define this place. It is famous for its exhaustive martini-based menu options. However, try to avoid the weekends if you do not want to be bothered by the bustling crowds that are common during this time.
Casanova (527 Valencia Street, near 16th Street, San Francisco) — visiting San Francisco and not seeking some nightlife fun can be best described as a traveler’s sin. The Mission too measures-up by offering a worldclass lounge in the form of the Casanova. The décor is contemporary with a hint of being classy along with a bar that stocks the best of wines procured from local San Francisco breweries along with a vast range of micro-brews.
