That this area has the air of historic preservation is a function of what makes SF what it is. This spot sits between a few Pier footings. Taking in the San Francisco Bay is an experience in and of itself. Great views here for Alcatraz and The Bridge.

My second review of a random thing that doesn't appear to be a restaurant or business on yelp!…read more Sake day! This is really interesting. As we know, Sake is an alcoholic drink that is originally from japan and is made by fermenting rice. Very strong and with a strange taste, Sake is very good and is now gaining popularity. I have seen it in many asian grocery stores with varrying flavors and types such as jello shot in a can or with gold flakes. Sake day is on October 1 and signifies the start of sake production in japan according to google. Now it is celebrated internationally. I am excited to participate in it this year! Super cool.

Coastal Cleanup Day 2019 was finally here and EAC had teamed up with the Ovster companies of…read moreTomales Bay and Marconi Conference Center to make it a success. Volunteers spread out over land and seat to collect trash and recyclables from beaches and roadsides around the bay. It was a beautiful day to collect trash. After a couple hours of work we all met back at Marconi for the after party which included local beer and cheeses but best of all, oysters straight from the bay. Thanks to all sponsors and volunteers the event was a huge success.

We went to Trad'r Sam to start our self created tiki tour and we enjoyed hanging out and grabbing a…read moreround of drinks at 3pm on a Saturday. It was pretty empty when we went but we enjoyed the boozy milkshakes (the chocolate banana was super fun) and ended up sharing a scorpion bowl as well. It's super casual but still fun and generally nice place to grab a drink. I can see how this would be a good spot for a nightcap after dinner for a sweet booze drink.

If you're looking for a cocktail garnished with artisanal moss and existential dread, keep walking…read more But if you want to get functionally over-served in a place that no longer smells like a damp basement from the Truman administration, welcome to the "new" Trad'r Sam. The Glow-Up The "grandfather of tiki" finally went to rehab--and by rehab, I mean it actually got a scrub-down. The legendary grime has been replaced by bright floors, refreshed bamboo, and a bar top so clean you can actually see your pupils dilating after the second round. It's still a dive, but now it's a dive you can bring a date to without needing a tetanus shot. The Heavy Artillery The drinks are still served in bowls large enough to sustain a small village during a drought. Whether it's a Scorpion or a Mai Tai, the ratio of rum-to-juice remains aggressively in favor of the rum. It's tropical, it's blue, and it will have you reconsidering your career at the bank by 10:00 PM. The MVP Bartenders The real reason to crawl out to the Richmond? The bartenders. These absolute legends navigate the chaos with the speed of a high-frequency trader and the patience of a saint. They handle a room full of "one more bowl!" requests without breaking a sweat or losing their wit. The Verdict: It's the oldest tiki bar in SF, and it's finally stopped looking its age. Go for the booze, stay for the bartenders who actually know what they're doing.
