"If you want to get away from all the action on Irving St. - or are braving the long wait for the dry-fried wings at San Tung - grab a cheap drink at this casual bar in the Sunset. Like the name suggests, there is a fireplace, as well as boxy, leather couches that look like something you should be sitting on while playing Nintendo in your friend’s mom’s basement. The welcoming atmosphere also makes it easy to chat with the bartender or the neighborhood locals, so don’t be surprised if you make a new friend." - Lani Conway, Will Kamensky
