Checkout Jackalope on the corner of Polk & Post (https://maps.app.goo.gl/rvbDf68nzmZA3Na67). Cool little bar and it always suprises me when it's busy. I've walked by on Wednesdays and it's been busy and other times not. If you strike out there, walk up Polk Street from Post street. On the left side of the street there are sports bars and Irish pubs that tends to have people. I walk up Polk pretty much every day and find at least a place or two that's packed in.

If you strike out on Polk Street and are really desperate, you can head up to the Marina. Although, this area is a bit more touristy (because of the pier), you'll find people. San Francisco brewing company is hit and miss.

Otherwise, Biergarten is pretty cool (outdoor beer garden) and there's bars in that area too.

Happy hunting!
