"A hole-in-the-wall gem in the Inner Richmond, this bar serves up three things: booze, billiards, and darts. Despite only having one pool table, you’ll find locals vying for the “title” in weekly tournaments, taking breaks to belly up at the bar for shots and pitchers of beer. (And if you’re lucky, the owner may pull out the hot plate and whip up some frozen potstickers, too.)" - Lena Park, Garrett Schlichte
