‘Stupid fucking city’ (in which ice cream parlors stay open later than bars)

I was in Hayes Valley last night (for some reason) and after getting kicked out of Biergarten at closing time (9pm), we walked past this ice cream place that was still positively hoppin’. One of my drinking companions commented, “Stupid fucking city.”

Okay, obviously there are reasons for this (noise restrictions on an open-air bar in a residential area) and we were able to keep drinking (Two Sisters was open and lively and they had a really interesting Fernet from Denver called Fernet Leopold), but still.

    Leopold Brothers is a micro-distillery in Denver. They make some good shit. Try their gin sometime.

  2. Stupid fucking _state_. Liquor licensing and last call times in SF are controlled by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, a notoriously corrupt bureaucracy that spends its time hassling gay bars in SF and enforcing completely random restrictions on license-holders.

    I meeeeeeean….flasks exist for a reason. And ice cream is delicious. I have no solid argument here, just these two facts to present.

    If this country just completely legalized the consumption of alcohol outside/on public grounds, you wouldn’t have to report on this.

    WTF are you talking about?! 9 PM?!!! Complain when it’s 2 AM and you find an ‘Ice Cream Parlor’ open. What are you 60? You friggin’ suck!!! Can you post what neighborhoods/bars you hang out in so I never run into you and your 5h!t friends?
