You can now walk around with a drink on Valencia Street - legally
Briefly

San Francisco is launching an entertainment zone on Valencia Street, allowing certain bars and restaurants to serve alcoholic drinks outdoors without the need for permits or events. This initiative, which runs from noon to midnight Sunday through Thursday, is a unique pilot program that permits regular public drinking—not just during festivals. Patrons must receive a wristband, show ID, and use branded cups when consuming drinks. It aims to enhance nightlife and social experiences while ensuring safety via a police partnership and designated zones.
The Valencia Street entertainment zone is San Francisco's first public drinking area not tied to a specific event, allowing regular consumption outdoors from noon to midnight.
To participate, patrons must show ID at a bar to get a wristband, and drinks must be served in branded cups to be enjoyed in designated areas.
