Fans of getting wasted and playing cornhole rejoiced yesterday, as news broke that the owners of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem had taken over the recently vacated restaurant next door (and its attendant liquor license) and will be opening up a new spot tentatively called “The Buffalo Club.”

Eater reported on what the expansion means for the Mission:

Yup, that’s right, the bro-bar kings (also of Bullitt, Tonic, Lightning Tavern, Soda Popinski, Wild Hare, and the now-shuttered Royal Tug Yacht Club and Rebel) are increasing their foothold in the Mission. Their takeover of Assaf’s roomy, two-story restaurant space, with a tentative moniker of The Buffalo Club, is intended to complement both Dr. Teeth and the neighborhood; it comes with a prized full liquor license. […]

Given their 7/8 track record of successful bars and the continuing popularity of their current formula (wings, sliders, cheap beer, Fernet and Fireball on tap), it seems that we could soon be seeing a lot more of this type of establishment (and its patrons) in the Mission.

It has to be noted that the proposed name for the new establishment, “The Buffalo Club,” is an odd choice for a spot that will without a doubt be responsible for hoards of Marina bros flocking to the Mission. But I guess it does fit nicely into the long history of artisan white people reclaiming the buffalo.
