The weekend became a fan of the weekend.
GOLD RUSH
49ers Indoor Tailgating at ACME
Let's hope the 49ers can find the end zone tonight to crush the Bears on home turf. That kind of pressure
requires beer. Grab some pints at Acme (at $3, make them bottomless), and add $5 Bourbon BBQ Ribs
and Beef Sliders—also known as dinner.

- 4:30-10pm, Nov 12, Acme Chop House, 24 Willie Mays Plaza, 415-644-0240
LOOKING FOXY
International Animation Festival Party
Check out the premiere of Wes Anderson's first animated movie, Fantastic Mr. Fox (featuring an
all-star lineup of Clooney, Streep and Schwartzman) that's sort of like the farm world version of
Rushmore. Then stay for gratis wine and apps to kick off the opening of the film fest.

- 8pm (Fantastic Mr. Fox screenings at 7 and 9:30pm), Landmark's Embarcadero Cinema, tickets here
POKER FACE
A Night in the Barbary Coast
At this post-Gold Rush soiree, there will be blackjack and roulette, cigar tastings, heavy flowing of
bourbon and absinthe cocktails, and lots of flapper-era fringed minis everywhere you look. Some things
weather history very, very well.
- 411:
- $125, 7:30pm-12:30am, Nov 12, Bently Reserve, 301 Battery St, get tickets here
3-BIRD BEAST
Turducken for Thanksgiving
Take it up a notch this Thanksgiving and unveil this trifecta of avian madness that's a turkey stuffed with
a chicken that's stuffed with a duck. Really, it's not so much a meal as a math equation—we believe
the Nobel committee is calling.
- 411:
- $250 (18-20 lbs), 4505 Meats, place order by Nov 15 here
STRANGE BREW
Six-Course Beer Feast at Toronado
Fifteen—that's 15—craft beers are paired with a six-course brunch that runs through lunch and
almost to dinner. Try Oaked Lenny, Allagash's Curieux and Lagunitas Hop Stoopid as warm-up for Ommegang's
Adoration paired with Boney Fingers Braised Short Ribs. It's a beer-to-food ratio we can support.
- 411:
- $95 (all inclusive), 11:30am-4pm, Nov 14, Toronado, 547 Haight St, 415-863-2276
