Skip’s Tavern – #229

A funk cover band was playing the night I visited, pretty entertaining. For $5, you can acquire enough Maker’s Mark to put you over the legal limit! Maybe it was because of the band, but this place was very lively and had a lot of … Read More

Wild Side West – #228

This bar has an amazing backyard/patio that you can very easily get lost in. PBRs were enjoyed, Ms Pac Man was played. 424 Cortland Avenue

stray

Stray Bar – #227

A bar that serves both humans and dogs. I had a PBR and might have been the only dog-less person there. I also might have been on of the only males there. 309 Cortland Avenue

La Terraza – #226

Another Mexican bar in Bernal Heights. The bouncer for this one pats you down as you enter. I had a Corona and mention to my companion that this place was not that enjoyable. The bouncer overhears this and recommends a “place for white people” down … Read More

International Club – #225

Aside from the wide assortment of flags on the wall, there is nothing “International” about this place. It’s pretty Hispanic; par for the course in the neighborhood. I had a couple of Bud Lights served by very pushy waitresses. 80 29th Street

Lucita’s Niteclub – #224

$4 for a bottle of Corona at a hot and dingy (not to mention empty) dive bar?! No thank you. 3247 Mission Street

knockout

Knockout – #216

Here is a classic case of right place, wrong time. This is a seemingly awesome bars with a really fun crowd. However, with the way my route worked out, I ended up here at 6pm on a Saturday…alone. Pretty cool place nonetheless, lots of things … Read More

Belinda’s Club – #215

Completely forgettable. I had a Corona…or maybe it was  Tecate? With the prevalence of beer in this city, there is no reason to every visit here…unless you’re into pinatas and elaborate murals of Jesus and stuff. 3302 Mission Street

elrio

El Rio – #213

This place is amazing! I spent $1 on “cover” (which got me a free hot dog) and $4 on two PBRs. El Rio has a very quaint and comfortable back patio that gives the feel that you’re drinking in your friend’s backyard. The bar was … Read More

argus

Argus (#205)

Argus is a grungy hipster bar where the bathroom had a strong smell of Fernet. Peat was happy. 3187 Mission Street

naps3

Nap’s 3 (#204)

“A dive bar with a little sass” says the official log. Two hefty pours of MGD were had for $3 a piece while the outdoor patio remained unoccupied due to cold weather. Peat and Glen learned that Nap (Napoleon) had two bars prior to this … Read More

3300 Club (#203)

3300 Club provides a much different crowd than its neighbors–English speaking patrons. Peat and Glen drank two Miller High Life’s while listening to the Irish bartender’s rant on how “Henry Louis Gates is an asshole.” 3300 Mission Street
