Sorry I'm so late to chime in.  I've been meaning to post this for a
while, even though I might not be able to make it to any events.  My
version of:


The SysAdmin/Tech Nerds tour of SF bars  (yes, I'm local)
--------------------------------------------------------

1. The Zeitgeist (Duboce and Valencia).  Happens to be the best bar in
San Francisco, but the connection is that legions of syadmins and
coders get drunk here.  Cheap pitchers, biker bar (not Harleys, Moto
Guzzis), big backyard with german style outdoor biergarten (you can
smoke here).  I met the late, great Chuck Yerkes (SAGE gives out an
award in his memory) here back around 1999 and got into a huge FreeBSD
debate with him.  He won, of course.

2. The 21st Amendment Brewery (2nd Street opposite South Park).  Most
(all?) of the bars from the old Organic days are probably gone so I
just picked one of the best neighborhood bars from the area (plus,
great brewery).   Organic is just a few blocks away where they used to
throw raves in the early 90s while Brian Behlendorf was madly hacking
out the first real versions of the Apache web server (you may have
heard of this piece of software).

3. Thirsty Bear Brewing (Howard between 2nd and 3rd).  Pretty much,
you can't come to SF for a convention and not go to the Thirsty Bear
at least once.  Every major convention is held at the Moscone Center
(JavaOne, MacWorld, ADC, etc) and this is where all the conventioneers
go to get a beer.  Was also super packed with hip techies during the
dot-Com boom as most dot-Coms were (are?) located South of Market.

Cheers!

-Dave
