"An oasis of well-worn elegance on an otherwise residential stretch of Fremont, this venerable neighborhood spot boasts the kind of hammered tin ceilings most often seen in sepia-toned photos of 19th-century San Francisco. Modernity intrudes in the form of a wall of video poker and a plywood DJ booth, but on an average Wednesday afternoon the space fills up nicely with the sounds of clinking pool balls and animated chatter." - Ben Coleman
