I see this is an old thread, but in case others have the same question in 2020+, check out bernalchess.com. We meet weekly at a cafe in Bernal Heights for very casual games. All levels and ages.
Sounds like fun. What time what day?
Saturday afternoons and the 4th Weds eve of the month. Details of time and place are here: bernalchess.com
I just moved to San Francisco, Ca. and I am looking for some type of friendly meeting of chess players, say in a coffee shop or other establishment here in San Francisco. If anyone knows of a get-together like this could you post it for me, thank you.
