Ladies, it is time to plan that bachelorette. We all want to plan a good party but some of us need something different (ie less expensive) from the over-the-top trip to Vegas, and also something a little more exciting than reserving the largest table at your local Chili's . . . Here are some ideas specifically for Northern Cali dwellers, but that can be inspirations for all of you brain-racked Maids of Honor across the land! (P.S. Yes, pun in title was on purpose!!)
Out of the Box Idea #1: Ventana Inn & Spa
Ventana Inn & Spa
Highway One, Big Sur, CA 93920
Ventana Inn and Spa . . . ahhhh. Why not pack up with the girls and shack up in this beautiful locale? It is about 2 hours down the coast from SF, but that’s kind of the beauty of it – you feel like you’re in a different world!

Spa food – yum!!
The Big Sur coast. Yes, if you’ve never been here, it really is this beautiful!
Out of the Box Idea #2: Big Sur Campgrounds or the Hot Springs Overnight
Camping for a bachelorette? I know it’s not for everyone, but this is definitely an adventure that you can make full of fun for the bride!! Think of the possibilities! S’mores, wine, and old stories told and re-hashed around the campfire! Not to mention streaking in the forest (probable if wine-drinking turns into Truth or Dare).
This is also a great idea of some of the girls are really unable to spend a lot.
I recommend Kirk Creek Campgrounds way to the south of the center of Big Sur.
Only for the adventurous and super-outdoorsy: take the 12 mile hike up to the natural hot springs!! It’s a long hike, so pitching that tent and breaking out a bottle of something yummy you sherpa-ed up and then sitting on the side of a cliff in a man-made hot spring is HEAVEN!!
Load up the cooler and head down to the beach! Penis straws, strippers, and dumb-looking veils be damned!

It’s beautiful, but if you can watch this whole thing, you have much less of a problem with ADD than I do . . .
Out of the Box Idea #3: Houseboating on Lake Shasta
- because it’s way fun;
- because you’ll all get tan;
- because it’s relaxing;
- because it fosters plenty of girl bonding time;
and
- because there’s no way in hell you’ll be able to get a stripper across the lake to your houseboat, so that takes care of that.
Mmmmm, blue waters of Lake Shasta with the mountain in the background.
Instead of a blinking condom veil, adorn the bride to be with plenty of innertubes!!
One of the most amazing lakes, and only 2.5 hours North!
What to bring:
One of the most amazing lakes, and only 2.5 hours North!
What to bring:
Plenty of stuff to grill – because it tastes to good in the sunshine or after a day of skiing!
Someone’s ski boat, anyone who even remotely trusts you.
Don’t be afraid to tell them that it’s actually for your old auntie’s 80th birthday, I mean, all her wrinkled sweet self wants is a ride on the lake for potentially her last birthday!
Sunscreen.
What You'll Find:
Plenty of sun-kissed wakeboarders enjoying the lake!
Out of the Box Idea #4: Top 'O the Mark
Top of the Mark
1 Nob Hl, San Francisco, CA 94108
Got limited time and an urban sophisticate on your hands who wouldn’t go near tent or a can of bug spray for a million bucks??
A bachelorette party at the “Top of the Mark” is just the solution!
The Top of The Mark is the swingin bar that sits, you guessed it, at the very tip top of the Mark Hopkins Hotel.
The views are amazing, they are hands-down the show stealer here. But the light fare is tasty, the cocktails kickin’, and the band plays into the night.
Infuse your short-but-sweet bachelorette party with a shot of class.

Entrance to the Top of the Mark. Keep it classy, San Francisco!
The view from The Top.
He might be here for the bride to smooch up on . . .
but he’ll probably be gay. Sigh. Such is life in SF.
And if it ends up a giant drunken slumber party in a room at the Mark Hopkins, well, so much the better. And whatever happens at the top of Nob Hill, stays in Nob Hill, girls!!
Out of the Box Idea #5: Bar Crawl, Mission District
Sort of like a traditional bachelorette/stag, but with a hipster twist.
And we’re talking classic hipsters here, not the rise of the iditos.
May I suggest a route and timetable for you:
Zeitgeist
199 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94103
2:00 – 4:00pm
Take up a huge picnic table in the back and get the schmaltzy crew visiting from the Marina to buy you all of your pitchers of IPA. Be rude to the guys manning the BBQ – they love that stuff.
Oh, and make sure to grab the Tamale Lady as she stops in. It will be the highlight of the evening!

Dalva

Dark. Divey. Um, Dark.
4:00-5:00pm
Dark. Divey. Um, Dark.
Elbo Room
647 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110
5:00-7:00pm
Someone’ll be playing, even this early!

Don’t forget to hit up the photo booth.
The Lone Palm
3394 22nd St., San Francisco CA
7:00-8:00
Divey, fun, and there really is one lone palm! And anyway, you and the bachelorette party are hardly remembering the details at this point!
Bruno's
2389 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110
8:00 – 11:00
More space, a larger club than the other bars you’ve been to up to this point.
Plenty of counter and table space if you can get bride to do some dirty dancing!

I think they’ve fixed this . . .
El Rio
3158 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110
11:00 – ???
It’s worth it to catch a cab down the raod to El Rio. Ah, El Rio. There’ll probably be a great band and lots of friendly people.
Plus, a large garden for you guys to lurch around spilling drinks on people who’ll find you bemusing.
A great way to end the evening, take it from Devendra Banhart and SF-grown Vetiver who wrote this song about the place:
