These are great recs, thank you everyone. Sounds like we’re leaning toward hanging out in Mission.

24th heading toward Pops is another nice ramble, and you can cut over to stop at the Phone Booth. I'd add Virgil's to the first list.

yeah I love 24th Street. we had our first baby shower at St. Francis lol

Οὖτις, Friday, 6 September 2019 19:26 (four years ago) link

Didn’t Pops become some gentrified douchehole?

Bars for Chris: I’ve liked Shotwells when visiting. Also liked the pinball arcade Free Gold Watch (though not a bar).

Pretty great lineup for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, especially considering it’s free.

xpost -- yeah my one time there, not so great. Couple of good bars along 24th, I did enjoy Big Rec. But generally speaking when I head home from work I just head home -- closer to work, I like Junior, though, and Hop Oast is a great small brewery.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 6 September 2019 20:17 (four years ago) link

oh, there's a new-ish pinball + bar near the knockout -- outer orbit -- good people run it.

sarahell, Friday, 6 September 2019 20:52 (four years ago) link

Massive Attack are playing tomorrow night.

this place is fukkkkin RAD, we go there every couple weeks, take the kids. They have a great range of machines and generally keep them in great working order.

Οὖτις, Friday, 6 September 2019 21:38 (four years ago) link

idk about Pops, I haven't been in there in 15+ years. I generally only go to bars with bands these days

Οὖτις, Friday, 6 September 2019 21:39 (four years ago) link

Yeah, been meaning to check it out and Cellarmaker as well.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 6 September 2019 22:00 (four years ago) link

second the Shotwell rec., and i always liked Bender's. oh! and La taqueria around 25th/mission >>>> Cancun imho but i guess everybody has certain preferences wrt their tacos and whatnot

Not for Chris L. but more for locals:

There was supposed to be a Purple Mountains show on Sunday night at The Chapel but it's turned into a tribute for David Berman... I perused the performer list and nobody rang a bell except for Mark Eitzel.

Sonny Smith is from Sonny and the Sunsets, he's great

not sure who any of those other people are

Οὖτις, Friday, 6 September 2019 22:27 (four years ago) link

xxp Cancun is nearer to my house, so. That said, what I'm really a fan of is the local La Corneta, frankly.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 6 September 2019 22:30 (four years ago) link

La Corneta's fine, we go to El Metate a lot cuz its closest, San Jalisco also near me and is v good. La Taqueria always feels like it has a line a mile long so I don't bother. But imo the best burrito in town is actually the El Tonayense truck (their brick + mortar restaurant got replaced by Wise Sons, which I also love so it's not so bad)

Οὖτις, Friday, 6 September 2019 22:32 (four years ago) link

honestly the only burrito joint I *won't* eat at is El Faro

Οὖτις, Friday, 6 September 2019 22:33 (four years ago) link

Free Gold Watch looks fun as hell, we’ll definitely try to stop there.

Only single seats are left for Massive Attack but they’re coming to DC where we live soon.

Chris L, Friday, 6 September 2019 23:01 (four years ago) link

METALLICA is playing the yet to be named Warriors stadium if you want a taste of a local metal band.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 6 September 2019 23:09 (four years ago) link

"local"
"metal"
"band"

Οὖτις, Friday, 6 September 2019 23:11 (four years ago) link

best burrito in sf is breakfast burrito from EBX

boobie, Friday, 6 September 2019 23:12 (four years ago) link

It's called the Chase Arena AFAIK

I'll be there Sunday night in the fucking nosebleed seats.

akm, Friday, 6 September 2019 23:16 (four years ago) link

Chase Center, doncha know

Following up to say I ended up here for dinner -- pretty great!

this "Yes on C" campaign is out of control, want to slap everyone involved

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 18 September 2019 15:20 (four years ago) link

I went to EBX last week and within a minute my eyes were itching (I'm allergic to shrimp).

Doctor Hu (Leee), Thursday, 19 September 2019 17:26 (four years ago) link

You know, in this one-party town there's been some razor thin elections with some compelling candidates. Hope this keeps happening.
