Jolene's, the new queer bar in SoMa, opened last weekend to much local appreciation. A soft opening on Dec. 15 included a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the return of Uhaul, now each Friday, marked the first week of events. Jolene's is open Thursdays through Sundays, and they have a big New Year's Eve party planned. 2700 16th St. http://jolenessf.com
