Good Clean Fun In San Francisco
Every so often, I find myself on a hunt for good clean fun in the city. Whether caused by a hangover, a cold, a sudden inspiration to be healthy, or a visit from an underage relative, it's always good to have these types of backup plans. Here are my suggestions:
For one reason or another, I always tend to forget how boring bowling is. Everytime someone suggestst that we go bowling, I become genuinely thrilled with the idea. I guess it’s kind of like childbirth.
This is your basic alley, complete with a few old-school arcade games, and a DDR. They’ve got a decent beer selection, and a bunch of really tempting 25 cent prize machines. Bring a roll of quarters or you’ll regret that sticky hand on laundry day.

Willing to take a little drive? This bowling alley is slightly more impressive than the inner-city ones, and the food is definitely preferable.

Also out of the way – But $1 day games, and $1.50 on Mondays/Tuesdays.

Golden Gate Frisbee/Disc Golf Course
900 John F. Kennedy Dr. San Francisco, CA 94121
I am told that frolf aficianados take the game very seriously, and do not appreciate those who play at a leisurely pace. However, there is definitely a scene at the Golden Gate course that welcomes newcomers and their six-packs of Natty Ice.
Try something that’s never been done before. You’ll be surprised at how many more Toby Keith lyrics you know when you’re clear-headed.
Not too musical without your usual beery courage? You can never be too sober to laugh and point.
cheesy backing tracks like it’s supposed to be.

Even though you won’t be drinking, you’ll probably be contributing to some type of illegal trade at L’Amour Nightclub. Read my review, and you’ll understand.
Yerba Buena Ice Skating & Bowling Center
750 Folsom St San Francisco, CA 94107
We all know that you can’t go bowling without wanting to ice skate afterwards. Thankfully, San Francisco’s only ice rink provides both acitivites in one underwhelming establishment.
Come experience what socialism feels like at Yerba Buena, where the skates are smelly, the hot chocolate machine is out of order, and the Zamboni driver disappears for hours on end. Seriously. I’d go.
Go see the Derby Girls get bloody here.

Rent some wheels here, and go skate to hits and dusties in the rink across the street.

Though I don’t really enjoy playing frisbee or golf, when I first learned about frolf, I became more excited than I was the night before my First Communion. Maybe it’s just because I like to say the word.
Get judgmental here on Thursday nights. The song list is actually excellent.
