    Fellow Yelper Tom R was having his Meet Up event in the Tenderloin so I decided to join his group along with Cassie J. The event took a stop at this Korean dive bar operated by Taiwanese bartenders. Comparing to the bar next door, this place does not have much of an ambiance except for a juke box, a couple of TVs and a lopsided foosball table. It was very quiet when the three of us arrived but the place finally lit up once Tom's group started to trickle in. Tom was very generous to put money into the jukebox and asked everyone to pick their favorite songs. The bartenders brought out fresh popcorn for everyone and my glass of Anchor Steam ($5) was refreshing but surprisingly expensive. Later, Cassie and I joined forces to play a game of foosball which was a lot of fun. Without much amenity, I thought this dive bar is more dependent on having a crowd than many others I've been to. Tom's event however, was a lot of fun and there were quite a few new faces with those whom I've met. The overall vibe was not as festive as I would have liked so I don't think I would be interested in returning unless Tom is having another event here.

    Popped in to try their famous Chinese Mai Tai, and this place was packed. I could barely squeeze my…read moreway through the crowd to get to the bar, but eventually made it. Despite how busy it was, the two bartenders were super fast and attentive to everyone waiting to order. Our Mai Tais came in paper cups, which was totally fine given the crowd. The drink itself was dangerously easy to sip but definitely strong. My only complaint is that there isn't a ton of actual drink in the cup--by the end, about a third of it is just ice and pulp. Easiest fix? Always grab two. LOL. Fun spot overall! I'd come back with friends, but probably on a weekday.

    So after our meal down the street at Hong Kong Clay Pot, Ryan & Nicole just had to lubricate…read moreourselves at LI PO before waddling off to Club Fugazi for the Dear SF circus show. The story at Li PO was that the last time they were there, the woman barkeep told Ryan he couldn't order his beer or pick their seats & made Nicole & Ryan get wreaked guzzling their signature booze bombs the Chinese Mai Tai!! I was warned to be ready to have my choice of liquor ignored! They both were presented with the required youth beverage, the dangerous delicious Mai Tai. Almost everyone else in the joint was sipping them too thru straws. I, being 79 & as it should be (having survived long enough), my old man Chinese cultural status of respected senior allowed me to drink what I wanted...a perfect shot of Fernet Branca digestivo (a very popular libation in both SF..given the Italian presence in No Beach...as is the same in Argentina at Estancia Ranquilco then off we waddle to the Club!
