The weekend will take that extra hour.
MEN IN BLACK
Shotwell's Black Party...and Afterparty
In contrast to the weekend's costume madness, you'll appreciate
Shotwell's dress code tonight: just wear black. Be rewarded with 10 percent off anything in store
(including that Gythamander tie), drinks by donation and a tip about the afterparty at 800 Larkin.

- 6pm, Shotwell, 320 Grant Ave (at Bush), 415-399-9898
HAPPY HOURING
Cheap Drinks Done Right at Heaven's Dog
Ring in the ghouls with some Death in the Afternoon (absinthe and champagne), or some gin-soaked
Satan's Whiskers—we thought Satan was more a bourbon kind of guy—both on the $5 happy
hour list this week.
- 411:
- Through Dec 1, 4:30-6:30pm, Mon-Fri, Heaven's Dog, 1160 Mission St, 415-863-6008
BRUSSELS SPROUTS
BRU/SFO Belgian Beer Project
Magnolia and 21st Amendment refuse to let you mourn the end of Oktoberfest. Instead, they joined forces to
brew 12 Belgium-style beers and will slowly unveil them over the next four Mondays for a beautiful new thing
we'll call Novemberfest. The first set debut Monday—but don't feel like you have to drink them all in
one day.

- Mondays, Nov 2-23, Magnolia, 415-864-7468; 21st Amendment, 415-369-0900
ZOOROPA
The Petting Zoo at Bloodhound
Watch a chef team butcher a lamb and a goat while a whole hog roasts on a spit over an open fire (you grew
another set just reading that). As if that's not enough, there will be rabbit crépinettes and chicken
beer sausage in the mix. There's also a gratis bacon-inspired cocktail to complete the utopian culinary
experience.

- $40, 6-11pm, Nov 3, Bloodhound, 1145 Folsom St, tickets here
ON THE HUNT
Wild Game Week at Big 4
If hand-butchered goat feels a bit, well, domestic, opt for
crispy piranha chops, alligator panini, yak Wellington, and paella made with giant frog legs,
rabbit-rattlesnake sausage and Nigerian saltwater prawns. The Big 4's Wild Game menu is so massive
we suggest you take your time all week with it.
- 411:
- Nov 3-7, Big 4 at Hotel Huntington, 1075 California St, 415-771-1140
