There's several threads on San Fran so do a search and see what folks said.
Alcatraz is worth the time, a must do IMO. The Italian section of town and little China both have some really good authentic restaurants. The wharf area is too touristy but near Alcatraz if you want to check it out. It's a great city.

Better hurry, October is just around the corner

I can't imagine doing a tour, ever.

This has nothing to do with food or drink. But....the Giants play their last two home games against the Dodgers in the beginning of Oct. Unfortunately the real Bay Area team finishes their season away.

Alcatraz is absolutely worth it, as another guy said ferry building is a great spot for breakfast or light lunch.
Sens is a great spot for happy hour during the week that's right across from the ferry building.
San Fran is awesome, just enjoy the weather while you're there.

Go watch the San Fran episode of the Layover on Netflix. Tons of good spots.

Tadich grill in the financial district. Scomas at the wharf.

If you want to take a tour of the Anchor Brewery, make your reservation now. I tried several times to schedule a tour and they were booked up months in advance. (Happy ending: I met one of their brewers at a private party while telling my sob story about not getting in -- I even showed up one day and said "I'm small, I'll stand in the back and won't ask any questions" and they still turned me away -- and he wound up giving a friend and I a private tour.)

5 days? Nice....check out a Giants game if you can, as was said earlier. Check out Haight/Ashbury one day....go walk around Dolores Park in the Castro one day. There will be kids with nitrous tanks that will give you a hit or two off it if you give them a beer. You could spend an entire day in Golden Gate Park. Bring some unsalted peanuts with you to feed the squirrels. It's really amusing. Tour around the bars. It should be warm in October....they have the late onset summer that most west coast cities get. Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge....Alcatraz is cool, but I never did it despite living nearby for 30 years. If you want to do something cheesy, eat at the Taco Bell on the beach in Pacifica....eh...I guess I would't recommend it if you're just visiting. Muir Woods across the GG Bridge are very cool. Food is so plentiful and great....just walk around or yelp search it. I would definitely recommend Asian food at least once. You can go Japanese, Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese.....

Don't trip over the multitude of bums sleeping all over the place. Do the tea gardens in Golden Gate park. Do Alcatraz. Five days seems like a long time to do San Fran. Venture across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito for a day.

Castro district. Awesome time.

Schomas is ok--I recommend going across the golden gate to saucilleto. Great shops, bars, and restaurants.
Regarding tours--we were signed up and ready and after being herded around and made to stand in line while waiting for the filthy bus to arrive we decided that driving our rental car around and doing our own tour on our own time would be much better. It was. When you take a tour, you're on the tour schedule. I like my own schedule.

Was there a year ago. Went to several places recommended by posters on this board. They were all very good. Here are a few that I liked:
Yank Sing for dim sum
Thanh Long for garlic noodles and roast crab
Zushi Puzzle for omakase sushi
Perbacco for Italian
SPQR for Italian
Aziza for Moroccan (lamb shank was really good)
Enjoy your time there. A great city for dining.
