MARINA— If your coworkers aren't feeling the after-work pick-up scene at Balboa Cafe, take them to the quieter, cozier Cafe Claude Marina for happy hour. The new menu launched this week with $3 beers, wine for $1/ounce and bistro bar bites like pommes frites and baguette sliders for $2. Happy hour goes from 4:30pm-6:30pm, Monday- Friday. [EaterWire]

HAYES VALLEYJardinière, Traci des Jardins' fine-dining restaurant in Hayes Valley, is harboring a secret... massive amounts of bees, living and buzzing above our heads. Maintained by the Urban Bee San Francisco, the bees live in harmony with the accompanying rooftop garden, producing honey for the restaurant's desserts and homemade mead. [Hoodline]
