"Bender’s is a classic Mission dive for drinking beer, playing pool, and shouting “I f*cking love this song” as rock ‘n’ roll blasts from the jukebox. The open space is huge, so your dozens-deep group can walk right in without getting an elbow to the face. And every square inch of the wall is covered with SF memorabilia, from photobooth strips and the old Lucky 13 sign to rotating art shows by local artists. Come here to kick back in a booth and cap off the night with a lager and some tater tots. " - Ricky Rodriguez, Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
