Default flying into SFO at night?

I used to fly into OAK every night for a living, landing in the wee small

I'm thinking of doing a night flight to SFO in a C152. Is this going
to be difficult? Will they let me in? Is that place very busy at
night? I plan on arriving at about midnight. Would a touch and go be
possible, or will they make me do a full stop? If so, where can I
expect to taxi and get fuel? If I have to taxi all around the huge and
complex airport, I'll just land somewhere else and get fuel, rather
than risk getting lost and then ran over by a 747.


What about any other bay area airports that are GA friendly during the
night?


Yeah, I'm thinking it'd be better to go to Oakland instead. Can I
expect to get cleared into the bravo, or will they make me maneuver
around it? I don't think it'd be very fun to have to duck around all
that complicated airspace, especially at night.
