Where To Hang Out Near 8 SF Restaurants With Long Waits

"There’s almost no way to eat Swan Oyster Depot without waiting. If you don’t get here early enough to be seated, the wait usually runs over an hour - partially because the line gets that long and partially because once you sit, there’s no rush to make room for the people behind you. Because it is an actual line instead of a waitlist, you can’t leave without losing your spot. But you can do what people always have and hit a liquor store before you show up and make friends with all the people around you." - will kamensky
