>Nightlife is horrible, bars pretty much close at 1am

Serious question. Are there many night clubs and any day clubs? I was last out so late/early quite a few years ago but in most (possibly all?) Australian cities there are night clubs that were open through the night until 6am. I can recall one place in Melbourne that opened at, I think, midnight and didn't kick people out until 10am.

There were also a few day clubs in Sydney and Melbourne, which are like a night club but not opening until night clubs are just closing.

Personally, I've not been to San Francisco. I'm just staggered that given the cities fame the night life is so constrained.
