Situated in a century old, brick-walled/hardwood-floored building, DPS sits 40 at both copper and old-bowling-lane tables, plus another 6 at the wine bar. The main event's house-cured salumi and specialty 'zas like the N'dugo/arugula/stracchino "Diavola"; small plates get creative with the likes of octopus w/ crostini and fennel, and ox tongue w/ potatoes, green onion, and olive oil so fresh, oxen everywhere can't stop trying to talk about it.

At this all-day beer-lympics, $20 gets you as much Spaten as it takes to compete in a round robin of beer pong, quarters, flip cup, pretzel toss, beer trivia, straight-up chugging, and long pour (teammates pour into each other's mouths from a ladder). Your team of six must include at least one female, which will sweeten your typical beer pounding extravaganza's ratio by infinity percent.

On Monday, Hiro Sone will roll out SF's first-ever tasting menu specifically designed to showcase Umami, the mysterious "fifth taste": the essence of protein, once unlocked by MSG, here summoned by natural ingredients like soybean, wheat, and seasalt. Start off with Umam-ized raw bites like nuka pickle/ponzu kampachi carpaccio (citrussy/tart/tangy yellowtail), hit your stride with hot mains like sake-marinated cod in minty shiso broth, then finish things off with caramel ice cream w/ shoyu powder (a substance guaranteed to shoyu the meaty).
