The Mission’s First “Dive Bar Art Crawl” is Here!

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

As you probably know by now, I love dive bars. Hell, I’m even the official dive bar columnist for SFGate. And since you also know we cover a whole bunch of art stuff on this site, the Dive Bar Art Crawl is pretty much the perfect thing for BAS, and of course for you, dear reader.

The fine folks behind the Dive Bar Art Crawl knew this as well, so they reached out so we could help spread the word. Which is exactly what I’m doing.

Here’s the info from the press release they sent:

March 23, 2024 is the first ever Dive Bar Art Crawl in The Mission. Nine bars within walking distance are rallying together to celebrate artists and their contribution to vibrancy in the neighborhood. Mission Bar, Benders, Lone Palm, Doc’s Clock, Pop’s Bar, Ruth’s at Treat Street, The Homestead, Casements and Mission Bowling Club will be showing art from local artists.

Local Journalism for Working stiffs

We write for the poets, busboys, and bartenders. We cover workers, not ‘tech’, not the shiny ‘forbes 100 bullshit’. We write about the business on your corner and the beer in your hand. Join the Bay's best newsletter.

Sign up in advance to reserve your space to join Amesia Doles in a class creating Moss Wall Art in the back bar at Mission Bar – tickets here. Price includes one free drink and all the dried botanicals and moss needed. All skill levels welcomed.

Doc’s Clock will be hosting pizza from Pie On The Fly. Stop by for a slice.
