20 & 30-somethings friends & fun in SF

Hey guys,

We attempted some trips last year but hit some snags here and there. This year we're going to pull the trigger on some of our favorite trips.

We're kicking things off with this fun weekend excursion to Sacramento in January. Close to home but far enough away to get away with a few bad decisions ;)

Dates: January 23rd - 25th (Friday-Sunday)

There are a few different ways for you to join us in Sacramento.
1. You're welcome to drive or carpool to Sacramento on Friday afternoon/evening.
2. The organizers will be departing on the 4:32p Amtrak Train from Emeryville to Sacramento (6:25p arrival). There is a bus you can catch at 3:50p out of SF to arrive directly to the Emeryville Amtrak.

The one way ticket is $29 from Emeryville or $36 from SF (includes the bus toll). The location for the bus is out of the Salesforce Bus Terminal.

Once in Sacramento we will be checking into the hotel. Everyone is responsible for their own travel to and from Sacramento as well as the hotel accommodations. There is a ticket cost associated with this event which will cover a number of exciting activities throughout the weekend (see more below)

Hey guys, we're back at it with another bartending blitz course. Space is very limited as always. This particular event is limited to 7 participants and will be hosted at my private residence opposed to an actual bar. This is my first time trying it at my private residence but I'd like to avoid the distractions incurred with doing it at an actual bar.

I personally live in Brisbane and will be hosting the class here. I'll send the actual address to students after purchasing their ticket. I'll shutdown ticket sales once we max out on attendees.

In the past I've hosted several bartending courses. Originally, each class was approximately 10 hours and ran over 3 days. While super immersive and informative; I've condensed the class time to just ~4 hours and feature it now as a "Blitz Course".

The class itself will run about 4 hours and include tastings, making several actual cocktails, and tons of tips and tricks in regard to casual bartending for friends.

The class will begin by reviewing an informative PPT before we dive into some tastings and finish the class with making 3 actual cocktails. Every student will get to leave with a printout of tips and tricks for hosting a party as well as a "Raise the Bahr Certified" certificate at the end of the course to show your newfound skills...

I myself have been bartending for over 13 years and have worked/managed at beverage catering companies, festivals, neighborhood bars, and currently run my own private home bartending business under "Raise the Bahr".

We'll kick the class off with a Q&A and introduction to bartending at which time students can ask questions as we go over a PPT reviewing the basics. This will also include some tastings as well as tips, tricks, and facts to impress your friends.

The class will move quick but I hope to get everyone involved and walking away content with their new knowledge.

Bartending Blitz - Get your spot NOW

Feel free to message me if you have any questions, concerns, or comments in regard to the bartending classes.

~Thanks and I'm excited to teach new students all about bartending.

Hey everyone, this is a continuation of our famed neighborhood crawls. This will be our 1st time visiting the marina in 2026 and it should be a great event! I'm working on securing some fun drink specials and making this slightly more structured than previous crawls.

This is a ticked event ~ please purchase your ticket below. There is a 100% refund policy. If you don't have a good time or it's not for you, you can get your $$ back!

Men's General Admission
This particular event is FREE for women!

This event is less about drinking and more about making friends, learning the neighborhood, and finding some new favorite drinking holes. There is a large focus on visiting as many places as we can throughout the evening. With that said we'll be visiting about 20 different bars throughout Cow Hollow and the Marina.

There are essentially 3 types of 'stops'.

• #1 is us stopping in for a drink (usually about 45min) and checking the spot out.
• #2 is a quick walkthrough where essentially we'll enter, touch the back wall, and depart.
• #3 is just a pass-by. We'll just walk past these places and point them out for later investigation!

Everyone will receive a wristband and map/agenda upon arrival. The map also comes with a 'key' listing different features of each place. We'll also have some fun ice-breaker games to play so that we can get to know each other. The goal is to learn about some awesome new spots to showoff to all your friends!

Parking
The Marina and Cow Hollow are pretty hit and miss for parking. You can usually find some if you're willing to look around a bit. There are also several parking garages near Lombard & Fillmore that you can access. Keep in mind that I highly recommend public transit or a 'taxi' any night we'll be out drinking.

Agenda
We'll kick things off at The Blue Light located on Union St. From here we'll be making our way to the focal point of the Marina. There will be an opportunity to partake in some dancing at the end of the evening.

I know some people won't be able to join us at the start time. Please note that we'll be at The Blue Light for the 1st 45 minutes before kicking things off. I'll try to update the meetup with our location as much as possible but please keep in mind that it's very hard to catch us while we're moving around.

We WILL be stopping for some food along the route but it's always best to show up with a full belly (especially since we'll be drinking).

This whole evening should be an awesome adventure for everyone. Please grab a ticket above and I'm looking forward to seeing you there.

Thanks,
Arthur
