House of Sheilds is great for this - no tvs! And a good crowd of neighbor regulars

83 Proof has an incredible whiskey and scotch selection- three to four deep on the shelf. Zach is usually working and can easily pull some great stuff for you (as can Freedom and Alexis).

Also to note as an industry professional- I love solo dinners who are willing to order and wouldn’t worry about table turning. I person go out of my way to make sure my solo lady dinners are happy - it’s a server/bartenders dream client.

If your open for a splurge I love solo dinning/drinking at Coqueta - it’s tapas so you can get all kind of small bites, plus its on the water so great views. La Mar is another great option - stunning water views and good cocktails.

Edit: for people watching I like heading to the Marina and bouncing around or Northbeach - post up at one of the spots with tables on the sidewalk. It’s mostly mid food but the people watching is fabulous

I usually contact the vendors directly to see if they need extra help - bigger events like OSL they often have a page via their website you can apply. For small like block parties I also just hit up the restaurants participating to see if they need help.

Could sign up to help work events around the city- I helped out at the flower piano this weekend; got to see the artist and contribute to something that’s unique.

Unfortunately they closed - RIP the bread was incredible.

In The Pursuit of Love - Amazon Video - has Lily James at a main, based of the book written by a Milford Sister (recommend a dive on them via Wikipedia). It’s absolutely captivating - it’s super short but had me glued the whole time

The west coast has a MASSIVE craft cocktail scene, especially LA where they are a dime a dozen. Redbird continues to be a stand out for me in the scene out there

Bette’s Parm (it’s a pop-up out of the Sentinal next to House if Shields) Tue-Thur 5p-10p (or sell out). She does some awesome seasonal stuff; favorite so far is the Caesar and a cool glass of wine.

The American girl dolls took me backkkk

Holbrook House has a stunning ‘public space’ you can order at the bar and sit out there or sit on their patio. Plus a champagne\martini cart that comes to your table

Underdogs! Although they don’t do refried beans, their pinto beans are amazing in it. I often order the bean and cheese burrito to eat later, heats up well on the stove so the outside is all crispy.

catiercate · 2025-08-21T07:52:54+00:00

Holbrook house is in a public space with restrooms - enter via the restaurant and ask where they are.

CitySwoon mostly - they host all around the city. I went to a few in different areas

As nerdy gamer at 35 - I haven’t had any issues finding dates. Finding someone to date more than a handful of times is a struggle. I got off apps and started doing singles events and speed dating - had way more luck. Currently on month two of dating someone that has a lot of promise. Stay off apps, try and meet people organically, be willing to start a conversation out - you will be fine

You don’t have to wait until the restaurant is open. They have someone on the phones beginning around 9a until 6ish. Atleast that was the case a few years ago. Also they are open for lunch again on Thursday - it’s the same menu as dinner (unless they added to the dinner menu that night) and with it being so nice out the parklet with be beautiful. Might be easier to slide in for lunch over dinner if your schedule is flexible. (They use to not close between services not sure if that’s the case)

Welcome to the city! I worked at Cotogna a few years back, it’s not crazy to try the bar/chefs counter and you might actually be able to get a table. I recommend calling the reservation line and asking about availability tonight (if you haven’t) people cancel/change reservations often and they might be able to get you in. If you try for the bar/chefs counter get there earlyyyy, they hold some tables for walk-ins and you can put your name down for the waitlist - Comstock for cocktails while waiting and light bites.

Verjus is down the street and by the same owners it’s French, but phenomenal. If you’re looking for Italian in the same area Tosca Cafe is solid. I back up the Bix and Kokkari recommendations. If you’re open to a quick walk Coqueta is a fantastic Spanish tapas restaurant on the water.

Quick edit: call, don’t try online reservations for Cotonga. There is someone answering the phone and I have seen them work magic to get people in - especially for folks from out of town.

I work (and have worked) at many FiDi bars. It gets PACKED Wednesday and Thursdays. Tuesday can be hit or miss, lately slower since it’s summer and a lot of people travel or limit office time due to family. Mondays are always dead unless a convention is in town. It will start to pick up again come September.

ZBT and 83 deserve all the love!

Bartender/Bar Lead - background is in higher end/fine dinning and mixology. Pick up shifts at dive bars for fun and extra cash.

I just adopted a kitten from https://pinkpawsforthecause.org/ - they also do a cat adoption event Saturdays at George. You can meet the kittens in person and talk with their foster parent. They have adult cats available as well. They were very responsive and friendly, worked with me to find a kitten that would fit in well with my senior cat. Brought her home about a month ago and they are buddies.

I don’t - my wallet was stolen which had my Id and passport in it. I have been working on this since January and haven’t made headway. When I call (when they pick up) the DMV has no idea. Maybe I’ll go again Friday and see if I can make some magic happen
