Let's say you're new to San Francisco. You want to go somewhere trendy, meet the trendiest group of people. See and be seen among the hip and elegant.
Dives are exactly not the place to do so. Yes, go there to complete your parole of college hangouts. Relive your junior and senior years digging that dark cellar, sipping your first legal brew.
But now, you're on your own and you want to move up in the world, all the while wanting a notable -- and noticed -- social life. Welcome to the Bravo!Club.
Bravo is the booster club for the venerable San Francisco Opera. It's main age demographic objective is to attract the 20-somethings through 40 years old, although a number of people older than 40 remain with the club, as it's such a popular club to belong to.
Ok, so you say, "I don't like opera." Probably, that means you haven't heard many operas. You might have been dragged to one when you were a kid and had no clue what all that cater walling was all about. And, if you like music of any sort, you will have a great opportunity to open your ears, eyes and mind to a whole new sensation. Operas are really a great total audio-visual-mental entertainment.
But Bravo! isn't just about operas. No one joins Bravo! just to get discounted tickets to the opera. There are the parties. And the networking. But mainly, the parties. The annual membership fee is $60, but you get several parties and lectures to attend. At these parties and lectures, you'll meet lots of interesting people, all very nicely dressed, and enjoy free appetizers and drinks. Yup, at most of the parties, the basic wine and beer are free, although the cocktails may be charged. In some parties, like the Opening Night Gala, all drinks are free.
If you trip the light fantastic, most events also include DJ-led music to dance to. And if you're not, no big deal! The club members are all very open minded, LGBT friendly and not at all pretentious. You get to meet your future upstanding citizens of the city. There are bankers, brokers, start-up entrepreneurs, VCs and a whole host of other professions represented among the membership. Beautiful people, elegantly dressed, witty and poignant discussions, tasty tidbits and flowing drinks, hopping tunes, and an easy-going, laid back atmosphere. What else does one need?
Join the hottest and hippest group in the city, Bravo!
