You may not find Kant or Kierkegaard belching out theories on the existence of
humankind over a draft Bud here, but you will find a nice cozy neighborhood
environment.
Wednesday is an off night from the active participation in the
Sunset Pool League which gave bartender Colleen time to talk to us about the 60
year old bar. Built in 1936 (see photo above register), this casual thinker's
haven has been under the same ownership for 39 years. Despite fading and
warping, the characature drawings of the regulars from the 1970's still adorn
the back wall, a few of whom apparently still drop by. Colleen seemed very
knowledgeable about the neighborhood bar scene and made a mean margarita. If
you want to know who your bartender is, just look for the nameplate over the
cash register.
Pool is big here or you can try your hand at the Circus triple
play machine, a more modern T2 pinball machine, or have a stab at the grab the
stuffed animal gizmo. The "His" and "Hers" bathroom signs complete the homey
feel. This is a great bar for a drink after a movie at the Empire or on your
way back from shopping at Stonestown.
Flynn gives this one three jiggers.
