A lively Tenderloin dive bar institution with a rambling layout that evolved room by room, housed in a beautiful art deco building. Order beer or simple drinks, play pool, and enjoy the eclectic mix of people; the outdoor patio is great for smoking. Bartender quality varies noticeably, so your experience may depend on who's behind the bar.
