San Francisco – The San Francisco nightlife scene is increasing and now gets a boost from the mayor.
The mayor of San Francisco, Daniel Lurie, announced on Friday the creation of five new entertainment areas in the city, in order to revitalize the neighborhoods and the city center with night markets and street fairs that serve restrictions and allow the alcohol containers open in the streets for special events.

“I know that these entertainment areas work,” said Mayor Lurie during a ceremony at Pier 39 to sign the legislation. “On Front Street, our first entertainment area, bars experienced sales up to 1,500% during these events.”
“People want to get out and be part of the community, and we will bring that to all San Francisco,” said Lurie. “The expansion of the entertainment area is only part of our plan to create a dynamic San Francisco.”
The city says that there are now 21 entertainment zones in San Francisco which have been appointed or pending.
THE Castro Night Market is among these sites. Companies, restaurants, bars and local sellers say that it is exciting to have the events.
“The community is incredible; family, children, dogs, a lot of food, community,” said Juan Davila, a Night Market seller from Castro.
With Pier 39 and Castro, the new areas include Folsom Street, Yerba Buena Lane, Valencia Street and Ellis Street Downtown by John’s Grill.
“We are going to incorporate the scenes from jazz and arts and height and bring the artists of marquee to really create an incredible experience,” said John’s Grill. What is really important is that we bring people back to San Francisco, in the city center and … have something exciting to go “
