This thriving cultural capsule located on the edge of SOMA intertwines the shared visions of four deeply-rooted industry veterans. Monarch gracefully dominates the corner of 6th and Mission as a rare multifunctional venue that is equally suited to an evening of sophisticated lounging and craft cocktailing, as to a night of music, movement and debauchery. The upstairs Monarch Bar is a distinctive lounge, which dramatically mingles elements of Victorian, Steampunk and Art Nouveau design. From the vintage redwood bar, patrons indulge in generous pours that lack pretentiousness. Dynamic inventions from international award-winning cocktail curator, Danielle Marchant, take the late mixology trend in a relaxed, un-fussy direction while effortlessly incorporating quality and technique. Ambiance leaps to new heights as trained performers execute balanced perfection, suspended from the ceiling above the bar’s delicate glass bottles. Monarch’s aerial performances are sure to induce wide-eyed delight on its patrons, unrivaled by establishments of its kind. To top off the experience, Monarch invites its guests to capture their certain savoir faire in its custom photo booth, which offers complimentary prints that replay their evening and beckon them back. Monarch leaves behind the tired over used idea of “happy hour” and announces weekdays from 5:30 to 7:30 PM will be known as “Amazing Hour”! In addition to some killer drink specials, like $4 beers and $5 wells, we also launch a smorgasbord of funtivities to help you forget about workin’ and get with the twerkin’. You can expect photo booth competitions with a $200 prize to the winning team, Double or Nothing Fridays (when you order a drink the bartender flips a coin, potentially landing you a free drink. Think of it as a casino game where your own drunkenness is the grand prize!), surprise magic shows, and sexy contortionist comedians. We would tell you more, but we’ve already said too much. Monarch offers an exciting range of options for private events and catering. Accommodations can be made for any size party.

Alonzo King LINES Ballet nurtures dynamic artistry and the development of authentic, creative expression through dance. Dedicated to exploring the possibilities of movement from a global perspective, the company performs original works of contemporary ballet created by choreographer Alonzo King. LINES Ballet is unique, not only because of the way it transcends and renews traditional ballet, but also because it is an American ballet company whose choreographer actively develops new work with other artists from diverse disciplines and cultures. Alonzo King understands ballet as a science — founded on universal, geometric principles of energy and evolution — and develops a new language of movement from its classical forms and techniques. LINES Ballet shares its vision of transformative, revelatory dance through performances and outreach activities worldwide, as well as by cultivating the gifts of developing dancers through the joint BFA Program with Dominican University of California, the two year Training Program, and the Alonzo King LINES Dance Center. "The term LINES alludes to all that is visible in the phenomenal world. There is nothing that is made or formed without a line. Straight and Circle encompass all that we see. Whatever can be seen is formed by a line. In mathematics it is a straight or curved continuous extent of length without breadth. Lines are in our fingerprints, the shapes of our bodies, constellations, geometry. It implies genealogical connection, progeny and spoken word. It marks the starting point and finish. It addresses direction, communication, and design. A line of thought. A boundary or eternity. A melodic line. The equator. From vibration or dot to dot it is the visible organization of what we see." - Alonzo King

The Metreon is a shopping center located in downtown San Francisco at the corner of 4th Street and Mission Street. It is a four-story 350,000 square foot (33,000 m²) building built over the corner of the underground Moscone Center convention center. Metreon opened on June 16, 1999, as the first of a proposed chain of Sony "urban entertainment centers", aggregating dining, gaming, music, exhibitions, shopping, and movies. Sony intended the ambitious 85 million dollar project to be not only a theme park and gallery for Sony products but also a way to reinforce a sophisticated image for the Sony brand.In 2006 Metreon was sold to Westfield, a mall developer, and it was refashioned as a food-oriented mall. In 2011, with few exceptions, remaining businesses in the mall were closed. Westfield began a major renovation with an emphasis on dining, including Target Corporation creating a large downtown department store that now takes up the second floor. In April, 2012, the Westfield sold the Metreon to Starwood Capital Group. Westfield currently continues to be responsible for management.HistoryThe Metreon's original attractions included a movie theater including both standard and IMAX screens, a multimedia edutainment presentation involving audio-animatronics and 3-D film based on the famous book The Way Things Work by David Macaulay, a play area for young children based on Maurice Sendak's popular children's book Where the Wild Things Are (sharing a floor with an In the Night Kitchen themed restaurant), and an arcade and bar, the Airtight Garage, based on French comic artist and graphic designer Jean "Moebius" Giraud's graphic novel of the same name and featuring all original games.

Chabad of San Francisco From musicians to charm vendors, mimes to multi-lingual tourists, San Franciscans are accustomed to seeing almost anything on their streets. Yet the sight of a Chassidic rabbi on a motorcycle, long beard and yarmulke flying in the breeze, rarely fails to turn their heads. Often there’s someone else on the bike with him. Perhaps it’s a local businessman who needs a ride to morning prayers or it may be a Jewish child having the time of his life. The bike, a symbol of Rabbi Yosef Langer’s innovative outreach style, scampers around the Financial District, putting smiles on people’s faces and breaking down their stereotypes of Chassidic Jews.
