Duboce Triangle is a tiny, residential San Francisco neighborhood bordered by Market Street, Duboce Avenue, and Castro Street. Despite its small size, there are plenty of things to do and see in Duboce Triangle.

Relax at Duboce Park

If you want to relax outside and play with some puppies, visit Duboce Park — many local residents bring their dogs here to play and socialize. At any given time, there are ten to twenty dogs running around, but whether you have a dog or not, there is something at Duboce Park for you. The park spans a full block, with a small portion dedicated to the dog park, and the rest of the park is an open space for people to spread out blankets, picnic, read a book, or play a game. There is also a small playground for children, and it is close to the Sunset Tunnel Muni stop on the N-Line.

When you’re ready for a coffee or a light meal, check out Duboce Park Cafe. Don’t worry about the inevitably long line — it moves quickly, and the food is worth it. Try and grab a table outside so you can enjoy the views of the tree-lined neighborhood and the dog park. To avoid the lines, try the cafe later in the day for their lunch specials, house-made soups, and artisanal pizzas. If you need to get some work done, the cafe also offers free wifi.

Bike Along The Wiggle

The Wiggle is a windy bike route that begins at Market and Duboce, continues through Lower Haight to the Panhandle, and ends in Golden Gate Park. There is minimal car traffic, the route is well-marked, and it is relatively flat, which makes The Wiggle desirable for cyclists who are interested in seeing different parts of the city while still taking it easy. In addition to being a great bike route, there are few stop lights and plenty of crosswalks, making it a favorite route for runners as well.

Enjoy Happy Hour at Churchill

Churchill will take you all the way back to World War II and is decorated entirely with 1940s artifacts, like an American flag with 48 stars and a statue of Winston Churchill. Check out Happy Hour at Churchill, which occurs daily until 7pm and features $4 beers (in mason jars!) alongside other drink deals. For larger parties, Churchill takes reservations.

If you want to spend a night out but play video games at the same time, Brewcade Arcade Bar is the bar for you. With classic arcade games like Pac-Man, Street Fighters, and Area 51, you will have no problem connecting with your inner-child. If arcade games aren’t your scene, sit outside and play a game of chess or play on one of the many pinball machines. Before you play, grab a drink from the bar — they have a large assortment of beers and a wine slushie (it sounds odd, but regulars swear by it!).
