Golden Gate Bridge Food and Drink Specials ~ Food News ...

Unless you?ve been living under a rock, you probably heard that Bay Area is gearing up for a boatload of weekend festivities to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Plenty of San Francisco restaurants are getting into the act, not just those who boast an actual view of the iconic bridge.

This weekend only:?

Bluestem Brasserie:?During brunch on Saturday and Sunday, SoMa?s American brasserie will be rolling back the price of selected drinks and bar bites.
