This is an extremely normal bar in an extremely normal neighborhood. I had a whiskey and was on my way as quickly as I arrived.

Trad’r Sam – #237

A very interesting dive bar that specializing in “umbrella” drinks. The menu is long and extensive but offers no descritpions. This probably isnt a problem for the regulars but I don’t know my Sex on the Beach from my New Orleans fog when it comes to these things. The bartender suggested I order a “Sabotage” which was rum, rum, rum, rum, pineapple juice, and more rum.

I met a former deep sea fisherman who now run a small cult that focused on fractals and number theory. By small it mean only two members, both of whom were at this bar.

There was NASCAR and Little League on TV, not hockey.

I had a Budweiser among a very locals-only crowd.

All Irish bars are the same.

Savoy Tivoli – #234

$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!

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.

The Royale – #232

I had a PBR at this completely forgettable joint.

Apparently, this bar has since closed anyways. Oh well.

1326 Grant Avenue

The Monk’s Kettle – #231

admin — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 21:27:42 +0000

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.

26 Mix – #230

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 there were more female cocktail waitresses than female patrons.

3024 Mission Street.

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 energy.

The front door is covered in a shower curtain.
