Not sure how to celebrate dad? Here are some last minute ideas on how to treat your father over the weekend.
It’s supposed to be a gorgeous weekend in San Francisco and on Saturday afternoon there is no better place to be than Epic Steak. The waterfront restaurant is hosting its 9th annual benefit for Guide Dogs for the Blind, High on the Hog. The event takes place from 1 to 4 p.m. and features an assortment of pork-centric bites, a craft beer tasting, and wine from Donum, Freestone by Joseph Phelps, and Three Sticks.

Magnolia Gastropub and Brewery is hosting a special Sunday Joint English-inspired pub roast. For just $38, dad enjoys a three course meal with beer pairings. The menu includes a hearty salad with scotch chicken egg and spicy beer mustard, prime rib with garlic and parmesan potato puree, and berry trifle with fresh berries.
The Presidio Social Club is kick starting their 11 annual Sunday roast pig series on Father’s Day. The event runs every Sunday through October 8 and consists of a meaty three-course meal paired with Mai Tai specials. Executive chef Wes Shaw cooks the pigs in a traditional Caja China behind the restaurant’s back patio. The menu consists of a crisp butter lettuce salad, a pig plate with various cuts of pork and classic sides, and pineapple upside down cake for dessert.
Heading to Tahoe? The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe is honoring fathers with three unique experiences. First is their whiskey and barbecue brunch at Manzanita, the resort’s posh eatery. From 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., guests indulge in a raw seafood bar, carving station, cheese, charcuterie, and more. There is an unlimited champagne and whiskey bar as well as plenty of desserts. For those who want to make dad a special treat, there is a leather keychain class on the backyard terrace. Each guest will learn how to punch holes, attach rivets, hand stamp, and personalize a keychain. Finally, if dad needs a break, the Ritz spa has two male-centric spa offerings including a relaxation massage with men’s pedicure or a men’s facial.
