Dating in Hayes Valley San Francisco · Cocktail bars, design crowd, after-work polish
The dating energy here, in a paragraph.
Hayes Valley is SF's most date-able neighborhood. Six blocks of cocktail bars, restaurants, and design boutiques between Civic Center and the Lower Haight, dense enough to walk and small enough to run into the same person twice in a night. Designers, opera-going types, slightly older.
Mapdate's live map fits Hayes Valley like a glove. Drop a pin at Smitten Ice Cream and see who's also in the neighborhood — likely 5 minutes away, ready for a quick aperitivo at Absinthe.
