Since we’re on the subject of restaurants and wine bars in renovated industrial buildings, I forgot to mention one of the recent additions to the SF dining and bar scene: District on Townsend Street, two blocks from the baseball stadium.
- Vibe: industrial chic, exposed brick walls, funky art work, gigantic lounge spaces, huge bar, great place for people watching, young trendy crowd.
- Pros: extensive wine list (over 40 wines), excellent tapas or small plates, good for after-work drinks
- Cons: very crowded towards the end of the week, can feel like a meat market at times, impossible to park or get to if there is a ball game
If you hate crowds, go on Monday or Tuesday evening around 6pm and you can spread out among the sofas and lounge chairs.
