"Today is the last call for ambitious bar/restaurant Dirty Water, which closes for good tomorrow. The 200-seat, 6,252 square foot dining and drinking den opened in June 2015 at 1355 Market Street (on the ground floor of the Twitter building) with a whopping 52 beers and 114 wines on tap plus “paleo friendly” food and lots of whiskey (a spirit nicknamed dirty water in pre-prohibition years, hence the bar’s vaguely unsanitary name). Dirty Water reportedly took more than two years and $4 million to develop, and for owners, was a labor of love. It arrived just after — and long outlived — its neighbor Bon Marché, which had similarly grand plans but shut down in short order in a slew of area closures (think Cadence and Oro, among others). But, for three years at least, Dirty Water managed to hold on." - Caleb Pershan
