The weekend is on the scene.
HAPPY HOURING
7-Hour Happy Hour at Acme Burgerhaus
There are lots of great happy hours out there, but we like the ones with a liberal definition of "hour."
From 3 to 10pm, you'll have your pick of six different brews—think: PBR, Blue Moon, Anchor
Steam—on tap for $1.95, any day of the week. Day and night, actually.

- Now open (11am-3am, Fri-Sat), Acme Burgerhaus, 559 Divisadero, 415-346-3212
GRAND OPENING
Southern Exposure Opening Party
Join SoEx in toasting the opening of its new gallery at this block party stocked with your go-to street food
carts doling out curry, bánh mì and bacon potato chips. Beer and wine will be flowing,
including Dandelion Wine served out of an oversize dollhouse. Creepy and delicious.

GIN RUMMY
Gin Tasting + Family Dinner at Beretta
Start with passed apps paired with the night's gin cocktail (they're keeping specifics on lockdown), then
it's a private gin-tasting flight of four gins including Plymouth, Broker's and one wild card. When the gin
is just about to win, you'll sit down for a family-style dinner with various pizzas and sides. And all will
be right with the world.

- $60, 6:30pm, Oct 19, Beretta, 1199 Valencia St, reservations at 415-695-1199
BREAKING THE FAST
Bar Tartine Does Breakfast
You've braved the lines for Tartine Bakery's bread pudding and croissants, so you'll be happy to learn that
its sister restaurant is getting in on breakfast, too. Alternate between brioche bread pudding, waffles and
an egg-bacon biscuit. Add Four Barrel coffee to offset the potential food coma.

- 8-11am, Wed-Fri, Bar Tartine, 561 Valencia St, 415-487-1600
PICTURE PERFECT
Sartorialist Book Signing at Paul Smith
Maybe you've seen him shooting random well-dressed gents and fashionable ladies on the streets of New York,
Paris or Milan—or seen his work in GQ. But the guy who trail-blazed street-fashion
photography now has a book that he'll be on hand to sign at Sir Paul Smith's store. We'd say it's a
page-turner.

- 7:30-8:30pm, Oct 21, Paul Smith, 50 Geary St (at Grant), 415-352-3535
