26 Mix probably has the tightest security I’ve ever been to. The bouncers might as be ex-FARC rebels, complete with fatigues, combat boots, and metal detectors. Walking into this bar is like teleporting to a ranchero watering hole somewhere south of El Paso. I think … Read More →

Clooney’s Pub – #217
WTF. This is the first (and at time of writing, only) bar I’ve ever truly felt uncomfortable visiting. I can’t even begin to describe the horrors… 1401 Valencia Street
Latin American Club (#133)
Peat and Glen were exhausted and stumbled into the L.A.C. for a final drink of the night. Faced with a shortage of both cash and liver-strength, they ordered two Trumer Pils. Remember, Peat and Glen hate Trumer Pils. They both sat at the bar and … Read More →
Shotwell’s (#132)
Shotwell’s is a loud, comfy bar with two pool tables. Peat and Glen ordered a couple of PBRs and settled down in a booth. Per the official log, Glen said the bar reminded him of Good Will Hunting. At time of publication, we do not … Read More →
Homestead (#131)
Peat and Glen drank PBRs and listened to Led Zeppelin in this comfy bar. According to Glen, “you’d come here if you lived near here.” 2301 Folsom St
Lexington Club (#130)
This is the first bar on the journey that both Peat and Glen have felt uncomfortable in. The following account has been modified to not step on any toes and to fit your television screen. Reader discretion advised. Lexington Club is a bar frequented by … Read More →
Beauty Bar (#129)
Glen and Peat specifically went to Beauty Bar on this night because the greatest bartender of all time, Darius Naderi, was guest-tending. The bar was extremely crowded and Darius was quite busy, so he poured the gents two Trumer Pils. Let it be known that both Glen … Read More →
Bender’s (#128)
Much to Peat’s delight, Bender’s is a biker’s paradise. The kind with pedals. Glen ordered a High Life while Peat enjoyed a Pabst in a can. There was a rather mysterious female character dressed as Indiana Jones causing ruckus in the bar. As she was … Read More →
Little Baobab (#127)
Have you ever dreamed about dancing in hot, loud, smelly basement to awesome local music in Dakar? Little Baobab is here to help. Peat and Glen gladly paid the $2 cover to enter this bar/club about the size of a decent gas station snack-mart. The … Read More →
Delirium (#126)
Peat and Glen drank here often when they first moved to the city. Mostly for the cheap drinks, no-frills atmosphere, and free BBQ on weekend afternoons. However, it was a Saturday night, so unfortunately no cole-slaw and Ballparks were to be found. Peat ordered a … Read More →
Elbo Room (#32)
Glen and Peat stumbled into the Elbo Room fairly late into the “Mission Blog-Crawl I” and it was quite packed. They were too lazy to make choices so they just chose their go-to scotch, Laphroaig 10. The price of $20 for 2 Laphroiags initally shocked … Read More →
The Monk’s Kettle – #231
The Monk’s Kettle touts an extensive but pricey beer selection. After reviewing the lengthy menu for 35 minutes, I settled on the unimaginative Maudite. The party next to menu grabbed the last order of fries before the kitchen closed. I was not pleased with them. … Read More →
