Cornhole!

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

We've been hearing rumors that everyone's favorite dive-themed bar Dr. Teeth had set-up a cornhole pitch on their patio, but never made it back there to see for ourselves.  And what a mistake that was.

They've got a nice terraced astroturf lawn for you to spill your drink on, two boards, and a whole bunch of bean bags to whip at your friends when they aren't looking.  It's all the fun that you come to expect with southern lawn games, without having to make friends with the randoms who bring cornhole to Dolores Park.  Plus, you get to play while sucking down PBR tallboys and feasting on a plate of sweet potato tater tots.  That is to say, it's pretty much the perfect way to spend daylight hours at a bar.

(If you're curious, Alissa effortlessly whooped my ass two games to one.  I'm not much into losing, so I guess I'm not much into cornhole.)

Mission Mission Is Leading A Bloody Mary Crawl on Sunday!

— By Alissa |

What an excellent way to spend Memorial Day! Our friends over at Mission Mission are hosting their second Bloody Marython this Sunday at various bars around the neighborhood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How delicious does that thing look? Asparagus, celery, green beans AND a pickle?! Its really more like a salad than a drink, which makes this event more of a health initiative than a bar crawl so clearly you should do what's good for you and show up on Sunday and eat some veggies. But I never met a bloody mary I didn't like, so its not like you need to talk me into it. More details from Mission Mission: 

Please join us at 12 noon this Sunday for the next installment of the Mission Mission Bloody Marython.  We haven’t exactly solidified the route yet, but at the moment the idea is to hit up (in roughly this order):

  • Thieves Tavern (14th @ Guerrero) – home of the vegan bloody mary
  • The Attic (24th @ Mission) – tiny cubes of cheese!
  • Pop’s (24th @ York) – maybe we can get some BBQ too
  • Phone Booth (26th and S. Van Ness) – a dark horse contender
  • Argus Lounge (Mission @ Valencia) – everyone keeps saying I need to try these

Sounds like a plan. Check out the Facebook event here too. See y'all on Sunday!
