"I go here for a simple gin and tonic or a beer — a way of changing drugs from caffeine to alcohol — and while the posted hours say it opens at 2 p.m., it really opens whenever it opens. This decades-old, dimly lit spot with pool tables feels like the perfect dive to unwind a bit while I stay focused on writing; I’ll sometimes hop the 14 or 49 Muni lines to get a bit closer." - Paolo Bicchieri
