I’m not sure where to begin with this one. Sports stadium food mixed w/​nightclub lighting mixed w/​coffee house atmosphere mixed w/​pichenko parlor kitsch. Easily the most unique place I’ve hung out at in SF. Anywhere you can shoot pool, buy gourmet desserts, have a veggie turkey sandwhich, grab a hot dog, play porn trivia, grab a beer, use the internet, play a board game or indulge in fancy espresso drinks all at the same location is OK in my book. Think of it as Sports bar meets Mexican coffee house meets my moms living room. Plus the staff are super friendly. Go ahread, sit right up at the counter by yourself for dinner. Or hang for the night and read a book. Or shoot pool and get drunk with your friends. Cool spot in the continuing to de-​crack and re-​cute upper TL.
