One of the many amazing things about Dreamforce is our incredible host city, San Francisco! With more restaurants per capita than any other city in the United States, San Francisco is a culinary wonderland and “foodie” paradise. In between the incredible keynotes, the awesome sessions, and the many planned activities, feel free to venture “off-campus” to explore the many bars, restaurants, cafes, and lounges that San Francisco has to offer.

More Formal Dinners

Le Colonial

Just a few blocks away from the Westin St. Francis in Union Square, this is a San Francisco classic. Start in upper level lounge for a well-made cocktail while sitting under rotating rattan fans. Head downstairs to enjoy an authentic Vietnamese meal, touched with a nice French influence. The menu does change often, but make sure to try the wok-seared filet mignon if it’s available.

RN74

Named for the highway that runs through the Burgundy region of France, this restaurant has an amazing menu in addition to an incredible wine program. Michael Mina, one of San Francisco’s most renowned chefs, opened this beautiful restaurant just a few blocks from the main campus.  I would highly recommend the fondue and the cheese soufflé.

Casual Bites

Oasis Grill

You cannot beat the convenience of this delicious location.  Delivering fantastic Mediterranean food for an incredible price, Oasis Grill satisfies locals and visitors alike. The perfectly cooked falafel, delicious hummus, and delectable shawarmas are well worth the wait! 

The Sentinel

Don’t blink, you might miss this small eatery. Located on the corner of the alley across the street from The Palace Hotel, this small space turns out some of the best sandwiches around. Though the line can be daunting (don’t worry, it moves quickly), the food is well worth the wait. The roast beef sandwich with homemade horseradish cream cheese on freshly baked bread is one of my personal favorites. 

La Taqueria

Why not hop on BART and go a few stops to 16th and Mission to try one of San Francisco’s best local taquerias. Located in the heart of the Mission district, this local favorite has been named the Nation’s Best Burrito. No matter what you get, the authentic food will satisfy fully while your wallet thanks you!

Happy Hour

83 Proof

Located just a few blocks from the main Dreamforce campground, this bar is a great place to relax over a well-made drink.  You can sit upstairs in the lounge, park downstairs at the bar or crowd by the large, street-level windows. Unwind with coworkers and socialize with locals at this hidden gem.

111 Minna

A bar which happens to share its name with its address (convenient!) also showcases local art.  A large, open space with two bars, 111 Minna is a great space to relax after a day packed with great sessions! I would highly recommend their white sangria. 

Of course, these are only a few of the many, many awesome options located around the campus. Feel free to try any of the options mentioned in this episode of Road to Dreamforce: Social Edition. And, most importantly, enjoy!
