An After-Hours Bust at the Wine Bar: It’s About Time

Posted in Bars, tagged , , , , , on December 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

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 , , , 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?

Posted in Bars, Restaurants, tagged , , , , , , on November 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »

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 [...]

Crest White Men

Have you ever been to Cresta’s (2211 Polk St at Vallejo)? I drank there just once on a Fall Sunday; it was the only quiet place with a TV where my friend and I could catch up while her boyfriend watched football. No complaints, but I noticed the crowd was primarily older men, scruffy ones. [...]

Bye Bye Bacchus?

Posted in Bars, News, tagged , , , , , , , on October 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I have it on good authority that Bacchus Wine and Sake Bar (1954 Hyde St. at Union), i.e. the shoebox-sized pre-Sushi Groove drink-while-you-wait spot, has had a change of ownership. I’m not sure whether the contemporary speakeasy, which has only six bar seats, no website, and not even a sign, will remain as is or [...]

KaKaKa Kozy

Posted in Bars, tagged , , , on October 1, 2009 | 4 Comments »

As any diligent Polk Street enthusiast should do, this weekend I ventured to the new Kozy Kar Bar (1548 Polk at Sacramento) . . . twice. Wait! I rescind: thrice. In addition to two evening stints, the owner gave my friends and I a daytime tour before the place opened. The reason I’m just getting [...]

The Amazing Adventures of Bottomless Mimosas

Posted in Bars, Restaurants, tagged , , , , , , on August 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

There are no amusement parks in San Francisco. There is no Times Square. No Bourbon Street. The Strip? Forget it. But there is a quiet destination that entertains for hours, leaving your laundry undone, and sending you giggly and starry-eyed to your eight o’clock dinner date. It’s called bottomless mimosas. You’ll find them few and [...]
