SF was never a late night city, but it's become even sleepier in recent years. Some examples:

Orphan Andy's, Safeway on Market, and Pinecrest diner are no longer 24/7. Sparky's closed forever (a 24/7 diner). It's Tops Coffee Shop stopped staying open late and then eventually closed forever. Corner/liquor stores that used to be open late are closing well before midnight. Kowloon Tong Dessert Cafe used to be open until 2am most nights, but now they always close at midnight.

San Francisco was very much a late night city at least into the 1940s -- check out the historic posters hanging at the Fairmont Hotel advertising various live shows that _started_ at midnight.

Has it returned to pre-pandemic levels? I haven't seen much going on...
