The BAS Pub Crawl Itinerary: Support Your Local Tavern and Cheer Us On!
Well, if you were too deep into a bender to buy tickets to this Friday’s annual bar crawl, you can look upon the melee as a spectator sport as our own little pied piper and his trail of beer rats do our cannonball run through the hazy streets of San
Bow Bow Cocktail Lounge
The Goddess herself! photo from Anne B. on Yelp I’m going to say this in the most plain and honest way I can: I’m pretty sure Candy, the bartender at Bow Bow, is Dionysus disguised as a human being. It’s the only logical way to explain the way she handles
The San Francisco Beer Passport is Here!
Step into a world of adventure with the San Francisco Beer Passport. There’s no better way to explore San Francisco than to literally drink it in. This passport is amazing! Each one contains 27 coupons to buy one beer, get a second beer FREE at 27 of the finest locally
FREE Tequila and Carnitas at 15 Romolo!!
As you well know, I love 15 Romolo. The Holy Trinity of Vesuvio, Spec’s, and Tosca will always have my undying affection, but Romolo is one of the few bars under 50 years old that I will go to in North Beach. In fact, I was just there last week
Any Port In A Storm: Cruising Fleet Week and the Italian Heritage Parade
It’s that time of year kids! Time for two of the more contentious festivals in the city: The San Francisco Italian Heritage Parade (aka Columbus Day Parade) and Fleet Week! Military grandstanding and attending celebrations named after an ambitious sailor who initiated mass genocide may not rank high in a
That’s a Spicy Meatball – Festa Coloniale Italiana and the 7th Annual North Beach Bar Run This Saturday
North Beach can be a conflict of interests. You got all this cool history, the center of the city’s Italian culture, aaaand…douche bags. Even after you live in the city for years, you still make the occasional excursion over to this venerable hood hoping for the best, and usually getting
An Ode To Golden Boy Pizza
I’ve never had a bad night in North Beach. There have been horrible nights in the Mission, the Richmond, SOMA, the Castro, Nob Hill; but never in North Beach. Maybe that’s because you know it’s a night that will end in gluttony and debauchery. Between Tosca and Vesuvio, the two
FREE Fernet plus San Franpsycho on Thursday
Fernet-Branca is a weird thing. It’s wildly popular here in San Francisco, and more or less the national drink of Argentina. Plus I’m pretty sure they drink it in Italy…but that’s it. I’ve never seen it anywhere else. In fact, my buddies were at the Lone Palm a few years
15 Romolo – The Best New-ish Bar in North Beach
I’ve got a love/hate relationship with the nightlife in North Beach. On weeknights it’s a great place to go out, hang with some friends and have a tipple with 75 year old poets. It’s also got the Holy Trinity of bars: Spec’s, Tosca, and Vesuvio. But weekend nights in North
