San Francisco might not be as famous for its surfing culture, but there's still plenty of Cali swag to go around. Just a few steps away from the windy, magnificent Ocean Beach, the Mollusk serves as a mingling destination for local folks, offering a gallery, a concert venue and a place to shop for surf boards and gear. Don't do the wave thing? No problem – this neighborhood hangout is a liberal, embrace-all place.
