theyre ok, a little like zeitgeist's port-a-potties, but with light? there's also inside BRs which are fine.

The owner is a new part-owner of my local dive, Molotov's. She's great.

I haven't been to the Mission in a while.

I miss:

The Attic
Latin American Club
The 500

if you want to do an oakland beer crawl, i did this last weekend for my bday and it was tons of fun.

Linden St Brewery. need to make an apt, but it's hella informal and they're really great there. only make 2 beers, but they're really, really good. http://www.lindenbeer.com/
Beer Revolution http://www.beer-revolution.com/ (similar to City Beer on folsom, pretty great)
Heinold's First & Last Chance (in jack london) http://www.heinoldsfirstandlastchance.com/. weird, shack like, tilted bar
The Trappist http://www.thetrappist.com/. tons of amazing belgian style beers.

for food in the area, there's a vegan soul food place next door to beer rev or chop house or bocanova. all good places

jaxon, Thursday, 5 August 2010 19:04 (thirteen years ago) link

for a couple hours after work (at least on wednesdays), jon's street eats parks at beer rev

hahahahaha the East Bay has been sunny and beautiful almost every day, glad i no longer live in SF.

what east bay are you experiencing? because it is cold and awful in berkeley and emeryville all the time

akm, Thursday, 5 August 2010 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link

i wish it would just fucking rain so I don't have to wash my car. this mist is mingling with all the filth and making my automobile a thing to recoil from.

akm, Thursday, 5 August 2010 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link

i don't drink anymore but c'mon, latin american club.

akm, Thursday, 5 August 2010 19:33 (thirteen years ago) link

was at LatAm last night. still great. bartenders still tryin to kill u.

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Thursday, 5 August 2010 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm down w/a FAP at LAC but I'll have to see my bartenders at 500 or Benders or Attic at some time or they'll kill me serve me weak drinks in future.

Hi sf; I am looking for a kind of 90s sexy bar with perhaps a large aquarium and looks like itd be in a sexy erotic thriller lifeti$e movie with eric roberts or something. A downtempo soundtrack would be amazing too. Does anywhere in SF fit the bill?

homosexual II, Monday, 9 August 2010 01:54 (thirteen years ago) link

nowhere I've been, except maybe the bar at Bimbo's, which I don't think is always open.

akm, Monday, 9 August 2010 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link

def Bimbo's

Party Car! (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 9 August 2010 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link

possibly: http://www.farallonrestaurant.com/
they have jellyfish chandeliers, dunno 'bout a aquarium, tho'

slim's 333 was featured in Basic Instict, but it's a dive IRL.

What's that place in the mission with the roof terrace?

Tolaca Luke (admrl), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:05 (thirteen years ago) link

what was the dance club in basic instict? dv8 or something similar that no longer exists?

akm, Monday, 9 August 2010 19:05 (thirteen years ago) link

xp - the douchey one where Newsom supporters had parties back in the dot com days?

sarahel, Monday, 9 August 2010 19:06 (thirteen years ago) link

Almost certainly. Although I think that whatsisname had a thing there when I was there. The guy that lost to Newsom who liked Pavement

Tolaca Luke (admrl), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:07 (thirteen years ago) link

just go to Power Exchange lol

glitter hands! glitter hands! razzle! dazzle! (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:07 (thirteen years ago) link

Ah Matt Gonzales, how I wish you had won. You played bass in a rock band.

incidentally what the hell was that crazy ass swank restaurant bar that used to be on like, commercial near north beach? it closed at least eight years ago, maybe longer.

akm, Monday, 9 August 2010 19:08 (thirteen years ago) link

haha, yeah. Him. That guy is SO SF to me.

xp

Tolaca Luke (admrl), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:08 (thirteen years ago) link

matt gonzales who then ran with Nader. he's a nice enough guy. I think SF is ungovernable like the rest of california.

akm, Monday, 9 August 2010 19:08 (thirteen years ago) link

ooh Matt Gonzales - he was sooooo dreamy - he had art exhibitions in his board of supes office

sarahel, Monday, 9 August 2010 19:09 (thirteen years ago) link

LA doesn't really have a city government, but we do have this place now:

Suck it, losers. Makes your Metreon like like a fucking sandcastle

Tolaca Luke (admrl), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link

akm, i live at 34th and Tele. so oakland.. it is genuinely sunny here (after noon) about 90% of the time. no joke. Emeryville sucks shit, it is too near the water to have good weather, I think. also, it is a faketown.

a repulsive person and/or a repulsive sphincter (the table is the table), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:12 (thirteen years ago) link

sunny does not equal warm, however.

sarahel, Monday, 9 August 2010 19:13 (thirteen years ago) link

the 500 club might be the most hated bar in my life. fuck those bartenders, fuck the jocks at the bar for calling me names.

a repulsive person and/or a repulsive sphincter (the table is the table), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:13 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, but i wear cut-off t shirts most days. around 6 i put on a sweatshirt. and around 9, a jacket.

the Cyprus Club is what I was trying to remember.

Medjool

yeah that's it

Tolaca Luke (admrl), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:22 (thirteen years ago) link

fuck the jocks at the bar for calling me names.

Whoa, really?

My experiences at the 500 have been pretty civilized.

no gut busting joke can change history (polyphonic), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Adam's nipples might disagree about the civility there.

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:26 (thirteen years ago) link

It has to be mentioned every time the 500 club is brought up, doesn't it?

Tolaca Luke (admrl), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link

That place makes me think of Sparks. And heartburn

Tolaca Luke (admrl), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link

xp it does!

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link

Every single time I've been to 500 it was because some other place was too crowded.
