Looking like Saturday may be most appropriate for the majority.
Any ideas on numbers? I suspect that a reservation would be necessary in a place like SF on a Saturday night.

Hi guys,
Local here that used to meet friends at Thirsty Bear somewhat regularly giving my two cents.
First off, yes, I'd make a reservation at Thirsty Bear.
That said, second, it may not be as crowded as you think. Given its location, it gets a lot of its business from the after-work, happy-hour crowd. It may or may not be crowded on a Saturday night.
Third, at least on the weeknights when I'd go, it closed rather early--10PM, I believe. I'd double check their hours before setting up a time.
Fourth, it's stupid convenient to the Moscone Center and should be fine, but if you want the best beer pub in the City, you've gotta go off the Convention-circuit path and hang-out in my 'hood, the Lower Haight.
(I'm not mentioning it by name because "douchebags" have been showing up a lot in the past few years because they saw it was cool on Yelp. 2 minutes of detective work or a PM to me will give you the name.)
Fifth, I'm down if you're cool with hanging with someone that doesn't post much in the Saloon.
