The San Francisco Singles Scene
When you search for ‘San Francisco dating’ it’s fairly common to be hit with an avalanche of articles about why San Francisco dating is so hard. It’s not that there is a lack of great singles in the city – far from it in fact. It’s just that it is hard to meet them. Long work hours (often combined with taxing Bay Area/Silicon Valley commutes), mean that all too often it’s easier to just stay home. But there is a way to break through dating ennui and find lasting compatibility with someone fantastic. You just have to look in the right place.
EliteSingles is just such a place. Not only are our members relationship-minded, they’re also diverse interesting people.

San Francisco Dating After Dark
Meeting for a drink is a classic date night pick for a reason and San Francisco singles are spoiled for choice. A front-runner has to be Blackbird, an elegant bar in The Castro that serves up delicious drinks to a dapper gay/straight clientele. And, not only does the ‘Bird do delicious cocktails, some are even Game of Thrones themed – who wouldn’t want a date that included a whiskey cocktail called ‘The Mother of Dragons’?
If you prefer your whiskey to be dragon-free then you may want to try Rickhouse, a FiDi bar that specializes in fine single malts and local beer. The stunning wooden interiors and excellent drinks menu make this a perfect place to take someone special – but, on the nights they host live bluegrass bands, come early to get a jump on the crowds.

San Francisco Coffee and Cuisine
For a casual first date, you can’t beat coffee. And, in this city, the local café scene is so rich with choices that the hard part isn’t finding somewhere great, it’s narrowing down the options! Try the always lovely Tartine, in the Mission district – fresh bread that is out of this world, divine coffee and many tasty treats – its a delight on the senses.
If dinner’s on the menu, head to Fort Mason, where Greens Restaurant serves up one of SF’s best waterfront views (they have to be seen to be believed!). Yes, it’s veggie only – but it’s also so good that even the most die-hard carnivores will be impressed. For a more alternative date, try The Ice Cream Bar, a picturesque Cole Valley soda shop with swoon-worthy art deco decor. Sharing a malt with your sweetie is back in style!

Embrace Your Inner SF Tourist
Those on the San Francisco dating scene never have an excuse to be stuck for date ideas, at least not if they decide to embrace their inner tourist. It may feel a bit cheesy to wander over Golden Gate Bridge and look back over San Francisco, it may feel cliché to take a sunset cruise around San Francisco Bay but these are classic trips for a reason – the views are gorgeous and make for a great date atmosphere.
For a more intimate SF date that is more romantic than cheesy, try renting a paddleboat from Stow Lake Boathouse and spend an hour or two paddling around the lake with your date. Ok, it’s a little cheesy, but it’s also a great place to sit and chat while discovering pretty stone bridges and stunning waterfalls.
