Comments on: Where to Be in Russian Hill on Superbowl Sunday http://polksheet.com/2010/01/27/superbowl-drinking-and-viewing-locales-in-russian-hill/ a toast to San Francisco's Russian Hill 'hood and beyond Sat, 24 Mar 2012 09:45:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Mark http://polksheet.com/2010/01/27/superbowl-drinking-and-viewing-locales-in-russian-hill/#comment-241 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:37:40 +0000 http://polksheet.com/?p=922#comment-241 Yeah, they’re owned by the same guys.

I’ve gone the past few years and have yet to come across a much better deal. $40/60 open bar, and they do open it up for whatever, is a screamin’ deal. They also limit the number of tickets to a pretty reasonable number, so it’s pretty comfortable inside.

And they feed everyone in an attempt to keep it a pleasant, euphoric party and not a sloppy, confused mess… though it’s not an exact science.

The Northstar at Powell and Green in Northbeach does the exact same deal. It’s a bigger space and they put out quite a good spread.

It’s not brewed in NOLA any longer, but by contract in other places (mostly in the midwest).

Dixie, Jax, and Falstaff were all very common New Orleans beers before anyone even knew there was water in Abita.

Dixie beer is definitely still being served, but the mid-city brewery is still closed. I don’t think it’s made in NOLA anymore, but it still tastes the same.
Technically, New Orleans finest is the new NOLA Brewing Co. Soooo delicious, and if you like craft beers, it definitely tops Abita (though its hard to compete a good andygator or abita strawberry.)

Is Dixie still going strong? I think they closed and reopened and then closed again. Touché on the TVs.

Technically, Dixie is New Orleans’ finest. Abita is made in Abita Springs, about 40 miles north of the city across Lake Pontchartrain.

Yeah, I’m a NOLA native but will be watching the game with friends in DC.

WHO DAT?!
