I'm not one to promote a nasty big business, but the Potrero Hill Whole Foods on 17th is currently blowing out their entire beer supply for 20% off. That means a PBR tallboy that normally costs a buck fifty is now only $1.20. Deal!
(Thanks for the heads up & pic, Rhiannon!)
...the remnants of the Mission Yuppie Eradication Project are still going strong.

I was so excited about Pop's new AIR HOCKEY TABLE that I almost missed their pic of the pile of shit they fished out of their old pool table. Props to whoever managed to shove a goddamn beer bottle in the thing.
Also, I have to recommend following Pop's on Twitter so you can keep apprised of future developments in the world of dive bar trash piles and bacon bloody marys.

A commentary on the values pop culture shoves down throats of today's children? Missing the days of singers like John Lennon who cared about more than themselves? Merely a bird singing boring pop???
Whatever it means, this terrifying newborn bat-bird wants to be a billionaire so fucking bad.
I don't know the original source of this, as this was just sent in as an imgur link--and TinEye isn't turning up any results. But, damn.
(Thanks Ben!)

Pop's apparently did a whole mess of remodeling today. Not only do they have a GODDAMN AIR HOCKEY TABLE, but also a new 'signature, exclusive VIP lounge':
And it's dollar night $2 tall can night? Fuckkkk, see you there.
Update: We scoped out the scene last night and there's a few other noteworthy changes. Like dollar beer night is now on Tuesday and Wednesday. And, according to bar manager Tuffy, they're taking Tecate off tap and back into cans.
Zach also noted the atmosphere/clientele of the place was noticeably different than it was a few weeks ago. A fluke, perhaps, but we'll let you draw your own conclusions about that.
Poor guy; I can't imagine he's finding much other than some bottle caps and lost nose piercings.

Prior to walking into Mission Hill Saloon for the first time, I didn't even know you could buy The Binge Drinker's Light Beer in the Mission. And at two bucks a can, it's certainly more expensive than I remember. But if you have a thirst for the swill you drank behind the 7/11 dumpster when you were 15, MHS has you covered.
(Oh, and their bathroom works of art are mightly nice too)
