SPARK Social SF

This food truck hub feels like a lively backyard party every night of the week. The crowd is diverse—scientists from UCSF’s Mission Bay campus, tech workers from SoMA, Dogpatch artists—as are the dishes and brews available. Up to a dozen trucks converge on the light-strung space each night, offering everything from pizza and poke to ramen and crepes, plus a rotating selection beer from California breweries like Mendocino Brewing, Petaluma Hills Brewing, Headlands Brewing Co., and High Water Brewery. It’s a great place for large groups, thanks to the affordable pitchers and ample seating. Reserve one of the fire pit areas in advance, or snag a picnic table on the spot. Happy hour runs from Monday to Friday, 4pm to 7pm, and Saturdays, 8pm to 10pm.
