Molotov's

Bar · Lower Haight

"While the exterior’s red paint may have gotten a touch-up, and the owners have added succulent-filled planters to flank the Dutch door, don’t let that fool you: this cash-only bar is still one of the truest dives in the city. On any given night, you’ll still be able to find it full of punks waiting to play pinball and Lower Haight locals sipping on PBRs with their dogs in tow." - Lena Park, Garrett Schlichte
