Dive Into Summer With These 5 Upcoming Poolside Parties
San Francisco has already been blessed with some gorgeous beach and poolside weather, teasing us through the spring season with spotty previews of what to expect this summer. Golden Gate Park has hosted a slew of bounce houses and cookouts while a few sunset silent discos have kicked up sand at Ocean and Baker Beach. But this fast-approaching weekend is San Francisco’s official summer kick-off with the annual Bay To Breakers event. Though the event runs the city all the way to Ocean Beach, the brisk beach breaks are rarely enticing enough to lure in anyone but overheated participants of the 12k race. For those rockers and ravers looking to get wet, however, The Phoenix Hotel is the place to party.
The historic hotel—attached to Chambers lounge and restaurant—is known for hosting rockstars and icons from Kurt Cobain to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With a pool and a propensity to party, The Phoenix is the summer oasis in the heart of San Francisco’s Tenderloin District that you must keep on the radar. Here’s five not-to-be-missed poolside parties at the Phoenix this summer.
May 21st – Summertime Radness w/ Shiba San – (Tickets, $35)
As the brave, the boozy, and the naked engulf the panhandle and run the streets from Hayes Hill to Ocean Beach, make sure to dip into The Phoenix for some wobbly bass, compliments of French producer, Shiba San. This Dirtybird affiliate exploded in 2014 with his mega-hit, “Okay.”
June 4th – The Skinny Dip w/ Hayden James & JackLNDN (Tickets, $30-35)
