High Horse, San Francico
8 PM, Ages: 21+
$44
Part bar-hop, part ghost tour, this guided walking experience takes you through the most historic haunts of Gold Rush era San Francisco. Starting in the only part of downtown to survive the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, Jackson Square, crossing the infamous “Devil’s Acre”, and ending in the legendary Chinatown, you’ll learn the history of San Francisco through the stories of those spirits who still haunt these streets.
Meet the ghosts of desperate miners, forlorn women, and shanghaied sailors while walking what was once known as the Barbary Coast. And unlike a standard ghost tour, we’ll actually enter into four haunted locations where, if you choose, you might sip on that other kind of spirit.
Private tours available! Perfect for birthdays, bachelor/ette parties, or just a night out with friends. Shoot us an email for more details: bootiquesf@gmail.com 21+ Drinks not included. Proof of vaccination and ID recommended.

At The Mellow Haight, we'll be surrounded by lush plants, greenery, and a laid-back vibe. All the right elements to stimulate our minds and engage in active listening, interaction, and enjoyment!
