Casual & Beginner-Friendly Poker Game

Sat, Nov 21, 2:00 AM

4.9

Join us for a fun and relaxed evening of poker! This event is perfect for anyone curious about the game or looking to improve their skills. **No experience is necessary** — complete beginners are encouraged to attend. We'll walk you through the rules, basic strategies, and help you feel confident at the table. Expect a friendly atmosphere, light refreshments (we can also order food while we play), and a chance to meet new people while learning and playing. A couple more details: * We'll be playing specifically Texas Hold'em * There's a $10 buy-in to play, but please note this is the most money anyone can lose for the entire evening * House rules, so I'll take some liberties with the game to ensure everyone feels welcome and can learn/play at their own pace * We will finish at 10pm at the latest, but please only join if you are able to stay the entire duration of the game * Location will be my place (I live near the Crepevine pin location and will share the exact address to attendees a day or two before the event) Looking forward to it. Please let me know if you have any questions! 628-236-9369

[Dinner] House of Prime Rib (Table for Eight) ($20 Deposit)

Fri, Nov 13, 5:00 AM

From Together: Date & Friends (Singles only)

**House of Prime Rib** House of Prime Rib opened in 1949 with one mission, one purpose, to serve the best *English style Prime Rib* meal *anywhere*, but only in one place, under one roof, to use a phrase kindly, *Only In San Francisco*. Known for their 21-day aging process, their magnificent service and attention to detail that shows in the perfection of their sides (Long time attendee *Ruth* swears by their *Yorkshire Pudding* and *Pauline* has a *secret menu* item order which is amazing), desserts and every beverage option. *The House of Prime Rib's* wine list is a great tour of classics from local wineries and iconic European vines that could be older than our country. Though they have changed some over these past years, they are what they have always been a destination for *San Franciscans.* I hold this establishment as the best steak in San Francisco, *I would eat here every night if I could*. Besides Prime Rib they also serve a fish dish, which many of my friends swear by, and their salad and sides have made some of my vegetarian friends very happy. Like a great app, their menu's simplicity hides the complexity and painstaking work to create a relaxing and one of a kind experience. On a somber note, no shows will cost San Francisco Foodies, please be conscientious and let *San Francisco Foodies* know if you cannot make this reservation as early as possible, cancellations within 48 hours are considered late. Owner: *Joe Betz* (passed away September 2025), now run by his sons *Michael* and *Steven*. **Menu and Reviews** [House of Prime Rib](https://www.houseofprimerib.net/) [Hosue of Prime Rib (Instagram)](Instagram) **Administrative Trivia** Dinner pricing is around $90 per person for Prime Rib including tax and tip, dessert is extra and drinks can increase this price. *Dress is business smart, comfortable and dashing.* Each diner is responsible for their own orders and costs but we will have to consolidate and divvy up the final bill accordingly. They have a limit of four credit cards per table, cash is preferred. *Transportation to* The House of Prime Rib Muni: 1, 12, 49, *California Cable Car (3 blocks)* Street Parking can be found at 5p, but meters are used until 6p. There are nearby garages ***Valet Parking is available*** *Use the comments for ride sharing* *Photos and history from restaurant web site, review facts from* [House of Prime Rib (Thrillist)](Thrillist) *and many personal experiences.* *#EatSanFrancisco #SanFranciscoFoodies #SFFoodies* *Deposits, Prepays, Donations and Third Party Events* *A deposit is applied to each attendee’s portion of the event (for example dinner) cost or returned to each attendee when they attend. Unexpected extra from individual deposits are returned to each attendee or left as tip, at each attendee's discretion.* *A deposit is to defray hosts’ costs from no-shows and late cancelations; many restaurants charge for each guest missing.* *Prepayments are asked when the venue requires money before an event (such as a dinner) and paid by our event hosts in advance to a third party. Hosts will usually help find someone to cover a person's seat and prepayment, but that is not guaranteed.* *Deposits and prepayments are non-refundable.* We Look Forward to Seeing you at This and Other San Francisco Foodies Events

Zachary’s Chicago Pizza (College Ave Oakland Location): Table for 6

Sun, Nov 8, 2:00 AM

I am a Chicagoan, but I have never tried this Chicago pizza. Let’s go see what all the fuzz is about. Note that there are multiple Zachary’s locations. The event is at the 5801 College Avenue, Oakland location, near the Rockridge BART station. This location offers thick and thin crust pizza, and with a big enough group, we can sample one of each. Zachary’s describes its two styles this way: * Stuffed: We literally “stuff” each pizza with the highest quality cheese and toppings that you choose. The stuffed pizza “pie” is then covered with our zesty diced tomato sauce and baked until the buttery crust is golden brown. * Thin: Our buttery crust is rolled to a moderate thickness and dusted with cornmeal. Menus are [here](https://zacharys.com/locations/oakland-rockridge/) **Costs** Two large pizzas will probably work out to about $25/pp. Appetizers and drinks will add to the total. Food and drinks will be the responsibility of the person(s) who ordered them. No separate checks. Please be prepared to split the check at the event and pay via cash, Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Cash. **Taxes and Fees** Dining in Oakland has a sales tax (10.75%). The restaurant may charge a mandate of 5-6% and a mandatory gratuity of up to 20% for large parties. **Parking and Transportation** BART to Rockridge Avenue AC Transit 36, 51B, 605, 688, 851 to College Ave.:Oak Grove Ave Parking at the BART lot or street parking

Canela Bistro Bar Happy Hour + Optional Halloween Urban Hike

Fri, Oct 30, 11:50 PM

From The San Francisco Scuba Diving Group

Take a trip to Spain without your passport at this cozy Spanish tapas and wine bar! They have a great happy hour menu ([https://canelasf.com/](https://canelasf.com/)), the hardest thing would be choices choices choices... Because Canela charges $20 a head for reservation, let's just get there 4:50pm a little before they open, to grab some tables. After happy hour, I'll go to a Halloween-themed photo urban hike beginning at Richard Gamble Memorial Park (about 1 mile away from Canela) starting 6:30pm. The route travels through Belvedere Street which is famous for their Halloween decorations and block party, up to Corona Heights for nighttime city views, and down to Castro. Join me if you'd like to walk off some yummy guilty pleasure! For more info about the hike and registration: [https://www.instagram.com/p/Deuh9veP7Pb/](https://www.instagram.com/p/Deuh9veP7Pb/) \*I'm not affiliated with this IG account or organizer, just wanna support decent event and community builders.
