Peat and Glen kicked back at Owl Place one evening with a couple of Knob Creeks, neat. Peat commented on the superior design of Owl Place compared to other joints in the neighborhood. Both were pleasantly surprised to see the place had a proper cocktail … Read More →

Summer Place Cocktail Lounge (#94)
The only entry in the official log for Summer Place is “summer’s 2 HL,” which means that Glen and Peat apparently ordered 2 High Lifes for their 13th drinks of the day. Peat remembers a fireplace and nothing else. Glen has been before and likes … Read More →
Ace’s (#82)
Peat and Glen’s stop at Ace’s was very utilitarian. They walked in roughly 3 minutes prior to the start of the 2009 Kentucky Derby, ordered a Basil Haydens and Knob Crek (both neat), and took a seat in front one of the numerous TVs. The … Read More →
Vertigo Bar (#72)
After 16 hours of drinking, and 24 bars, Glen, Peat and the evening’s guest made it to Vertigo just before last call. Understandably, notes on the 25th bar are sparse. Direct from the log: 25th! 3 shots of Jack Tuxes sans pants Glory!!! The group … Read More →
Hemlock (#71)
Peat and Glen made a last-minute game time decision at roughly 1:27am that they would indeed have 25 drinks that night…two more to go. They dashed out of Divas and head straight to Hemlock. Two Bud Lights and a vodka-tonic for Peat’s friend were quickly … Read More →
R Bar (#68)
Glen and Peat arrived at a swelter, crowded R Bar, and fought their way towards the High Lifes. The crowd here is neither hipster nor douchebag, but just right. The two happened to find a table in the crowd, and noticed that The Godfather, Part … Read More →
McTeague’s Saloon (#67)
The 20th bar of the night, McTeague’s didn’t offer anything new…except for Shiner Bock. Glen’s favorite Texan beer (Peat has started to take a liking too after being introduced by Glen on one of their first voyages to India.) The duo stood around a barrel-cum-table … Read More →
The Bigfoot Lodge (#66)
Glen and Peat are no strangers to Bigfoot; in fact, it was the scene of their first daytime drinking adventures in San Francisco years ago, on an empty Cinco de Mayo afternoon. Saturday nights, however, are another story entirely, and Bigfoot was absolutely packed. It … Read More →
The Cinch (#65)
Glen and Peat entered the Cinch, promptly took two seats the bar and ordered their now signatory Bud Lights. The first thing Peat noticed was a painting of a lion having his man with a nude man. Glen went to investigate and confirm Peat’s findings. … Read More →
Ha-Ra Club (#43)
Peat, Glen, and Anna walked into Ha-Ra to find it completely empty. Legend has it that Ha-Ra has a lot of history behind it as its been a popular dive bar for over 50 years. Also, the bartender seems to be quite a celebrity among … Read More →
Cafe Royale (#39)
Glen and Peat stopped at this neighborhood art gallery/coffee shop/wine bar before meeting a few friends for dinner. It was early in the evening, so it was pretty empty save a small group in the corner. Peat had a Chimay Blue and Glen experimented with … Read More →
Minx (#135)
Both having a penchant for southern living, the bottle of Sweet Tea liquor caught Peat and Glen’s eye. The bartender offered to make a delicious cocktail with it. Turned it out it did not taste like sweet tea nor was it delicious. Oh well, Minx … Read More →
