The Monk’s Kettle — Not Just For Mr. and Mrs. Moneybags
You’ve probably heard of The Monk’s Kettle, the 16th St. Mission bar/restaurant with arguably the best beer list in San Francisco and the notoriously long wait to get in for dinner, but you may not have stopped in because it’s not exactly broke-ass friendly. Or so I thought. Though I’ve eaten
FREE Admission to Aquarium of the Bay TODAY!
You know how you live in a city for a long time, but never do the super touristy things in that city? For example, I’ve never done the double-decker hop-on, hop-off bus tour, been across the water to Alcatraz, or had sex with a hooker-tranny in the ‘Loin. But today
FREE Drinks at The Ambassador on Thursday Night!
Friends, I’m not gonna lie. I’m not really into club-y, lounge-y type places. I much prefer the dive bars that are so dark and filthy that none of the other patrons can see — literally — that I haven’t showered in days and wouldn’t give two shits if they could.

Try The Best French Onion Soup in San Francisco at Squat & Gobble
In college, a friend once told me he didn’t like soup. Fortunately I cut that asshole out of my life, because who wants a friend who doesn’t like soup? There’s so many different varieties and textures; you can serve it hot or cold; and what the heck do you slurp
Ty Segall, Bare Wires and The Sandwitches at Amnesia Tonight!
Do you have any idea what Southpaw Records is? Well, if you’ve ever heard Ty Segall, Bare Wires, or The Sandwitches, you do, because they’re all on this label that’s celebrating its first anniversary at, in my opinion, one of the best bars in the Mission, Amnesia. Tonight for a $5 cover, you
