Madrone Art Bar - $4.00























Best Deal in Town!!!

Bartender is nice. "I don't like those fake ones" reference to the maraschino Cherries. He had REAL cherries. Yum!!

We came between 4-8pm for Happy Hour. The drinks were great - Did I already say that?

The art is fun here too. Serious. Wallpaper and mural cool. The art is not the usual art seen in bars. Thought it may be from the Art Institute. There is room for a band too. Dr. Strangelove projected onteh back wall. Has nice couches and high ceilings. The women's bathroom has pink walls. BTW the drinks stirred on shaken - acutally good - in this case. The waitress is wearing a rug! This is way cool.

Dinner at Herbivore.

The Phone Booth - $5.50





















The Phone Booth is located in the Mission District. A great dive bar with a mix of people. Different colors, ages and sexual preference. The bar is dark but has candles to make a nice ambiance.

Manhattans good but a bit watery. Lots of Whiskey and bitters :-). Asked for no cherry juice which the bartender doesn't do anyway, he said. Nice big glasses

Dinner at Roosevelt Tamale Parlor on 24th street.
Interesting window display.

The Brickhouse - $7



This time the Manhattans were not as good as when we had been here before. Too much cherry juice. The waitress is still great though and the place was packed.










Happy hour menu












Had to wait for a table but he 5 minute wait was worth it.








A real candle and real flower. That's what we always want.

Hotel Utah - $6.50 and wild boar

Wild boars with mashed roots!! Delicious!!!!
How often will you walk into a bar and they service wild boar. And this was exceptionally good too.
It's hard to describe the Manhattans when the food was so special, but the drinks were good too.




The month of February was special food for Hotel Utah. They served rabbit and venison and duck too. Yummie!

We were extremely happy here.
