Choose from craft vendors and food trucks at the Fort Mason Night Market or live drag performances at the Castro Night Market to start your weekend on a high note.

One of The Standard’s Best Restaurants of 2025 will close its doors on Saturday. Head southwest to the Mission for one final meal of pasta, burrata salad, and amaro-forward drinks.

10 p.m. Out & About SF Pride (opens in new tab) at Public Works

7 p.m. Dinner at Dragon Well

The Marina gets a bad rap, but its food scene features a handful of gems. Dragon Well, a 2-decade-old Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood, is perfect for a casual, no-frills dinner. Who can say no to Mongolian beef, kung pao chicken, and walnut shrimp?

9 p.m. Karaoke at Silver Cloud

A short walk from Dragon Well is the beloved karaoke bar Silver Cloud. Once the clock strikes 9, anyone is welcome to grab the mic, but equip yourself with our unwritten karaoke rules and tips from SF pros before you get to crooning.
