SlateBART Station:
16th St. Mission (SF)Walk Time:
1 minuteOK, this one boasts popular Thursdays right off 16th St. Mission Station, so its DJ Purple Dance Karaoke Night is big enough to get a spot on the list. The weekly convergence of karaoke goers under the guidance of DJ Purple has been in effect for a decade, making it an SF standard. These days its home is at Slate, where a full bar with, yes, those fancy city cocktails, fuel the parade of songs.
