by Jon P. on My friends and I met up last night at the California Academy of Sciences for the Extremely Cosmic NightLife. It coincided with Yuri's Night, which commemorates Yuri Gagarin's first flight into space on 1961. It was pretty awesome. First an most importantly, the SpaceCowboys were spinning. Love 'em. Great music inside and out. The other bonus, alcohol is served at these events. Yay! Last, but definitely not least, you get to hang out in one of the coolest buildings in San Francisco. The Academy of Sciences is worth the trip alone. The building is amazing and all the exhibits are open. If you still have not been to the Academy, this is a great way to see it. The perks.... Something new and different to do on a Thursday night, great music, bars, food, special exhibits, NO KIDS and the ticket price is only $12. Much more reasonable than the usual $24.95 entrance fee. So next time you are looking for something a little different on a Thursday night, I would recommend NightLife at the California Academy of Sciences.
by Bernardo Berrong on Spent a few hours hanging out on the rooftop here a few weeks ago and had a lovely time! Don't know if it's different at night, but late afternoon, on a sunny, warm day with that beautiful view - you can't go wrong. Also, we actually got some amazing service. The manager (I think it was the manager) actually had the staff bring up a table and chairs from downstairs since there were none to be had upstairs! And he moved stuff around so we could be right near the outer edge where we wanted to sit. Nice! I also recommend the wild mushroom/goat cheese bruschetta. Very generous portion and yummy.
