Tour de Tenderloin / Polk st - Explore the Unknown

Not many people think of the Tenderloin as a place with awesome bars but it has tons of watering holes for locals to escape the tourism and have a good stiff drink.We'll gather at SWIG and checkout some local secrets as we move our way to Polk st where we'll end the night dancing. The total walk is a little over a mile.Keep in mind we don't grab a drink @ every location and how long we stay ranges from a quick walk-through to drinks and dinner depending on the bar's capacity and comfort.Dress Code: Feel free to dress casually. We shouldn't be visiting any venues with a dress code but a number of the venues will probably have a cover at the end of the evening. Dress comfortable and don't forget to dress warm as it'll be cold!Parking: There are a few parking garages scattered around downtown and usually some street parking. Given the location though I highly recommend public transit or at least having nothing visible in your car. Please respect the signs and use ParkMe.com (http://www.parkme.com/) if you want to find more parking options.See you there,Arthur G. Bahr
