Get Your Ski Lodge On at Bacchus Kirk

I find myself frequently overhearing passersby chatting about their most recent or coming trip to Tahoe.  As a broke-ass I can only dream of such a trip.  I don’t fret, though.  Why?  Bacchus Kirk! There are a number of wallet-friendly bars in the Nob Hill area.  One in particular, Bacchus

Top Off at Tee Off Bar and Grill

Everyone who’s lived in San Francisco for a reasonable amount of time knows that, usually, it’s significantly cheaper to live somewhere in the avenues. I don’t venture out into the avenues much (past 10th, anyway). When I do, though, it’s nice to know there is at least one option for a watering
