Best Bar to Run into 13 Bachelorette Parties in One Night
Market Street Saloon
by Eric Doksa
Staff Pick
There's no question that bachelorette parties are in full force up and down Market and East Bay streets on any given weekend, but it's at Market Street Saloon where a majority of them will be found taking turns dancing on top of the liquor-soaked bar while a room full of dudes salivate all over the floor. The chance of seeing more than one wedding veil there is high.
