Mistake #1 was trying to dance at Beauty Bar

Beauty Bar: "Beware of the Pickpockets"

If you're one of the few people with money that goes to Beauty Bar, a new sign screwed to the wall outside the joint warns of red men thieving the contents of purses.  Presumably, SFPD and the Entertainment Commission forced them to hang this after a string of recent thefts, as described by Yelp reviewer (argh) Issy V.:

Overall experience was just fine, although they seem to have a real problem with theft. Their solution was to remove the hooks under the bar counter, needless to say my bag got stolen right from under my feet. Although I was sitting on my stool the whole time. Don't think I'll go back there again.

Never go back? But what about Crazy Hip-Hop Mondays with The Kidz, Issy?

Nobody Likes a Bleeder

Night Fog Reader recently published a Mission bartender's list of pro-drinking tips.  Most of the tips are pretty obvious, surrounding things that Our Dear Readers would never dream of doing themselves.  However, this cautionary tale from what I gather to be the cocaine sty at Beauty Bar is worth noting:

4. No flip flops in the club
A few weeks ago when I was having a bathroom break and the stall floor was suddenly covered in BLOOD! I threw the door open and see this 21-year-old-looking, head-to-toe-in-American-Apparel, cute art student with flip flops on! What are you even doing in a bar with open foot shoes!? It turns out she stepped on a broken pint glass and sliced her foot. She was soo drunk she couldn’t even feel her cut, and she just wanted to go back to dancing. Alright, no. I took the young child aside, fixed her up and sent her off, but not before I made her pinky promise me that she would only wear closed toe shoes in a bar. Hey, nobody likes a bleeder.

Generally I'd never insult our fashionable readers by implying you need a lesson in dancable footwear, but it appears that some San Franciscans out there think it's a fine idea to dance barefoot, so let's be on the safe side.
