The lineup of watering holes is situated on the lower Polk, including Hemlock, Vertigo, SNOB, Blur, Route 101, and R Bar.

New Bar to Take Over Cossu
Posted in Bars, News, tagged Bars, Cossu, News, Restaurants on April 19, 2010 | 3 Comments »
A group called Red Stick Enterprises applied for a new liquor license for the space at 1516 Broadway, formerly Cossu, which closed last July. No specifics beyond that, but I’m sure the Polk folk will be happy to have another watering hole in the ‘hood. It’ll be interesting to see whether the owners keep the [...]
Luella Ages With Vino on the Cheap!
Posted in Bars, Restaurants, tagged Bar, Birthday, Deals, Green, Hyde, Luella, Restaurant, wine on March 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
To celebrate its fifth anniversary, Russian Hill’s New American eatery Luella (1896 Hyde at Green) is offering wine by the glass for only $5 Sunday through Thursday throughout the month of March. Seeing as the restau’s most wallet-friendly glass of wine goes for $8, this is definitely a good deal. Better yet, you can scoop [...]
A Eulogy for Nob Hill Tavern
Posted in Bars, News, tagged Bars, Nob Hill Tavern, Pour, R Bar on February 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Aww, man! I feel like all of my favorite watering holes are evaporating into thin air lately. The latest is Nob Hill Tavern (1390 California at Hyde), which according to Eater SF is being taken over (overtaken!) by the owners of R Bar. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of R Bar, and the [...]

Casablanca Calls It Quits
Posted in Bars, Restaurants, tagged Casablanca Cafe, Clay, Polk, Sacramento on January 22, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Casablanca Café (1609 Polk at Sacramento) has newspapered its windows. You bohemians will have to find a new place to smoke your smelly hookah and drink your discount beer. Interestingly enough (or not), the other Moroccan spots in the ‘hood, Tajine and Cossu, have also recently shuttered their doors — anyone want to cry foul?

Getting your shoes shined anytime soon? Want to polish up your Latin dance moves for your underground poli sci trip to Havana? Then, maybe you should tap your way over to Parrilla (1760 Polk and Washington) for some cha-cha-chá lessons.
An After-Hours Bust at the Wine Bar: It’s About Time

I promised myself that I’d never write about The Wine Bar (2032 Polk St. at Broadway) for the sheer fact that I hate the place, but this one is just too good to pass up. SFist has noted that TWB’s license has been suspended for 10 days due to “consumption and/or sale of alcohol after [...]
Trying to Bite the Bullitt
Posted in Bars, tagged Bar Johnny, Bars, Bullitt, Restaurants on December 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m in mourning over Bar Johnny. And I’m not just ready for a rebound. Over night, Bullitt shot into 2209 Polk’s black brick façade, painted some stripes, and changed the light fixtures. Poof! The moist and crunch croutons have vanished. So long truffle oil fries. Sayonara pork sliders. I know Rome wasn’t built in a [...]
Disgruntled Goat to Replace Bar Johnny?

If you’ve ever eaten (or had a bottomless mimosa adventure) at Bar Johnny (2209 Polk), you may have noticed that the bar and restaurant’s receipts read “Tablespoon.” The name is residue from a former bistro, which was converted into Bar Johnny in 2007. Back in June, SF Eater got the scoop that the team from [...]
