So a bit like some sort of theme park then? Seems more like the USA than you would suggest.
After 40 years of visiting the USA on vacations, extended stays and working in the 38 states that I have visited, I found many places that didn't have a Mucky D and you don't tend to see overweight munters in most places off the beaten track.
Sorry but I'd put finding somewhere in the USA that was "not American" was similar to finding a Full English in Corfu |

What's the touch line like down there mate? 'It's long, it's white, it's about a hundred metres long!'.

Sorry to jump in with my 2 pence about Jacks.......
They had the football on when we were there, and there were quite a few english locals so it felt like an English pub.
We found a place further up the hill near North Beach called The Rogue. It was a cracking pub with lots of decent beers on.

I foolishly went out wearing a shorts and t-shirt (cocky English person abroad attitude), walked around Fishermans Wharf in the sunshine etc, 30 minutes later its absolutely bucketing down, so we had to go into Jack's for a pint. After 2 beers, we went out to catch the cable car (still raining), the queue was absolutely massive, people stood there absolutely drowning. So we went back to Jack's, later flagged down a taxi, which was much faster, must cheaper and far more comfortable. |

| Quote: Kosh "SF does not have a Cannery Row. It has [iThe Cannery[/i which is along Jefferson from Pier 39, not far from Hyde Pier and the historic ships. It's now a combination of small plaza, indoor market, and hotel. The plaza boasts Jack's Bar which has around 100 different types of beer. No part of Fisherman's Wharf smells, and I go there in mid July every year.
Sausalito (no Bay) is indeed a lovely place to visit, but I wouldn't recommend staying there unless absolutely minted. There's also not a great deal to do there except admire the scenery. Or go shopping for a seaplane.'"
The area at the end of Pier 39 where the sealions hang out did stink a few years ago but most of them have disappeared now. There were probably no more than 10 there in November. |

Laguna is a real gem - one of the nicest places in the country. |

The sea lions are only there in numbers at certain times of the year - there's never many there when I visit in July but when I visited in April one year there were loads of them. And yes - it does honk a bit when all the platforms are full.  |
