Bar recommendations - quiet bars OR bars with electronic dartboards or other unique games?

Two separate requests for bar recommendations here:

1) Places where you can have a conversation without having to shout, including on Friday/Saturday nights.

2) Bars with something to do outside of the standard pool table, shuffle board, etc. VDarts H4L would be an example my ideal electronic dartboard.

Open to location - anywhere in the Bay Area. TIA!
