Dalva Bar on 16th St in the Mission $6.26

Walked down the street and looking into this bar, Dalva, to see if we wanted to stop in for the Manhattan there. We found the bartender to be friendly and knowledgeable and he poured a big Manhattan. So big in fact that he asked us to sip the top off so he could pour the rest into our glasses. We like that.

Dalva might have been called Fireside in another lifetime 'cause that's the name outside on the brick. They show movies there but we didn't see any playing.

Went to dinner at the Thai place nearby on the corner of 16th and Guerrero. The owner had owned it for 25 years that night so we were treated to a free dish.
