by Loretta Olveda on After a friend brought me here one of the first days I moved into San Francisco, I am in love! $2 bottomless coffee every day, $10 bottomless mimosas on the weekends, $4 cocktail specials M-F, and a great breakfast & lunch menu! Local artwork don the walls and the fireplace offers a cozy and intimate setting for friends to gather. I came in one evening to enjoy a cup of coffee and I stumbled upon a Betsy Johnson photo shoot taking place in the back. It was a fun find and a great experience my first week here... Sugar is my favorite spot so far to use wi-fi as well since there are plenty of outlets, comfy couches, plenty of space, and great background music...what more can you ask for???
by Sook Henderlight on I've been wanting to come here ever since they re-opened after their remodel. I tried once with a group of friends but they had sold out of tickets for the public before 11:30am on a Saturday! So you can imagine my excitement when work decided to organize a private event for all of us and our family and friends. That excitement was short-lived though. I made the mistake of not getting there super early. We arrived around 7:30pm and all the passes for the planetarium were gone. Even the passes for the bug show was gone too. They even stopped letting people into the rain forest. There were so many people and kids everywhere that it literally felt like you were swimming through people, especially when walking through the aquarium. I kept getting hit left and right by ladies' handbags when trying to wade through the crowds. The kids were so loud that it made it hard to hear any of the music the DJ was playing until around 9:30pm or so when people started leaving. While walking around I noticed that they had closed the gift shop. Imagine how much business they could have gotten if they had stayed open. Obviously someone didn't think that one through. This is definitely not the same CA Academy of Sciences from back in the day when we came here for school field trips. The living roof was pretty cool, though you can't see all the plants at night. It's a good thing a couple in our group are members and were able to show us around all the exhibits. If I do come back here again, I think I will come early in the morning hopefully before any crowds arrive.
by David C. on It really depends on what night you head out to Cielo. Saturdays will usually result in expensive, wait in line for a long time, sorry you don't have the right girl/guy ratio outings, so suck it up and wait punk kind of nights. But regardless of these typical Meat Packing drawbacks, Cielo usually turns into a guaranteed good time. Feel free to shake your ass in the company of many other devoted ass shakers here. My best night there?? Grooooooooove Armada!!
