$5 for a Bud Light bottle? No thanks. I did enjoy the old French man who walked in and asked if he could store his groceries behind the bar. He then left and returned 30 mins later to claim them. Imagination abounds! 1434 Grant Avenue

Grant & Green Saloon – #233
I had a pour of Ancient Age whiskey fairly early one evening, the bar was mostly empty. I did enjoy the homage paid to Ulysses S. Grant on this sign. 1371 Grant Avenue
The Royale – #232
I had a PBR at this completely forgettable joint. Apparently, this bar has since closed anyways. Oh well. 1326 Grant Avenue
International Sports Club (#201)
A couple of Bud Lights were enjoyed on the sidewalk outside of the International Sports Club as the inside was completed packed. There is no clear indication what makes this establishment “International” or more sports-leaning than any other venue. Glen and Peat met a former … Read More →
Kennedy’s Irish Pub & Indian Curry House (#200)
Ever wanted to have a Guinness with your chicken tikka? Ever felt your St. Patrick’s day wasn’t complete with the strong green tint of saag paneer? Kennedy’s is your place. This is a Indian restaurant and Irish pub in the same building. Peat and Glen … Read More →
Sweeties (#157)
Two bars in Fisherman’s Wharf was enough for these men. They back into the real city and stumbled upon Sweeties. A completely normal, completely comfortable bar filled with completely normal local San Franciscans. And to top it all off, PBRs are to be had at … Read More →
Mr. Bing’s (#146)
Glen and Peat drank Bug Lights while they watched Game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals. Across from them, weird old Asian couples ate pizza. 201 Columbus Ave.
Gino and Carlo Cocktail Lounge (#145)
Jimmie Schein, Peat and Glen’s favorite cartography dealer in San Francisco, recommended they visit Gino and Carlo is they “wished to put their lives in their hands.” As they walked up to the door, a rather unpleasant lady blocked the doorway and demanded $20 a … Read More →
Savoy Tivoli (#144)
Glen and Peat were the only two people in this entire bar, save the rookie bartender. Two Bud Lights. Towards the end of their stay, a peculiar old French man entered and asked if he could keep his groceries behind the bar while he went … Read More →
Church Key (#143)
Church Key is a beer drinker’s paradise. Rumor has it that Glen read War and Peace faster than he could get through Church Key’s menu…in Russian. After much deliberation, both decided on Allagash Curieux. An amazingly delicious beer that has now found itself on both … Read More →
Sip (#108)
Peat and Glen separated from the birthday party and decided to walk through the Broadway tunnel towards Chinatown. After a long and boring walk through the tunnel (they were honked at on three separate occasions), they emerged back into civilization and Sip was the first … Read More →
Maggie McGarry’s – #235
All Irish bars are the same. 1353 Grant Avenue
