After a long day at work, head to the Presidio for tasty bites and amazing cocktails. What better way to unwind than with fantastic food, fantastic drinks, and fantastic views?

The only way to take advantage of this offer is to book a stay there, but frankly, that's just icing on the cake. Make your reservation now!
When: Starts Friday, May 13, 5-6pm. Available every Friday and Saturday after that.
