Noc Noc - View this location on map Every night I go to this beer-and-sake lounge, I end up asking the DJ to identify a song. (Once it was a Muppets cover by the Dead Hensons.) The pillow-bedecked venue looks like a chill room, and it does have roots in the rave era, when the place also had built-in computers. The terminals are gone, but the lounge is now filled with statues. There's often decent art for sale outside (415) 861-5811 www.gridskipper.com 557 Haight St , San Francisco, CA Nightlife
