    Local bar within the SF Mall. The only thing that bothers me is the sewage smell they have going on.

I think dirty is an understatement. Yuck. Awful dungeon of a place where you see and feel the creepy crawlers. Drug deals going on in the back. Don't drink anything unless it's bottled and even then, be careful as nothing is sanitary. Came in to pay respects for a friend we lost. Now I know why old Rick used to come here. Drinks are warm, pool table is crooked. Not my crowd, $35 for two beers and I think I have had friendlier service at the boarder of US and Canada. I'm not one to give unfair reviews. This was a horror show. Restrooms were deplorable. Not much ambience other than all I wanted was to leave the moment I walked in. The county health department should be giving this place a visit.

    Have been coming here for ten years now. I have never encountered the disrespect that I did…read moretonight. The bartender seemed to be friends with the regulars in house. I was sitting at the barstools along the wall at the pool table. One of the regulars started an altercation. It escalated almost causing a fight when the bartender then took the side of the regular and it showed favoritism and made me feel unwanted in the establishment. This is the first time in ten years when I felt unwelcome at this bar.

Let the bartenders do their magic. There's karaoke on Weds-- not super crowded, so you'll get to sing a few songs if you're so inclined. Remember to park in back. Support your neighborhood dive bar.

Dark and old, with wood…read morepaneling and red leather banquettes in remarkably good condition considering their age and the occasionally rough clientele, it's the perfect place to get lost for a few hours. Their long hours (early morning until 2am) mean there are a couple of shifts of staff per day, but I most often find Jodie behind the bar, and she's one of the nicest bartenders in town. Lighthearted and well-spoken, she can chat with anyone about almost anything, and she manages the crowd well. She's a good egg who's seen it all, but seems to treat every day like it's possible to get through without any problems. There's no food for sale here, but they're happy to have you bring or order in anything you like, and you'll often see people at the bar eating meals from the many local restaurants. There are 8 TV's mounted around the place (plenty for its size), so you can watch a game if you like, and the digital jukebox is easy to manage from an app on your phone. Plus, they've got solid, reliable WiFi, in case you're sick of sitting in Starbucks. Drinks are modestly priced and generously poured, and there's ample parking, both in the lot out back and on the un-metered street out front. This may not be the right place for a marriage proposal, but it's definitely the right place to hang out and cool off in the dog days of summer.
