[Editor's note: Congrats to Pop's on its "Best New Bar" win! Well deserved! And sorry I forgot to post this on Monday morning; I was reaaaaaally hungover because I was at Pop's til very late on Sunday night. Also, in case you don't know, Pop's is also a great place to watch basketball right now.]
Everything old is new again at Pops Bar. THANK YOU to SFWeekly readers for voting Pops “Best New Bar”. Since revamping the bar this past year it’s amazing to be recognized as “new” with such a rich history behind Pops. While Pops officially got its start around 1935, rumor has it that Carl Joseph Saxsenmeier AKA “POPS” ran the Clubhouse during Prohibition as a bootlegger. Pops has been at 2800 24th Street in the mission since 1971. This past year, Michael Spike Krouse (Madrone Art Bar/Pops Bar) and Tom Tierney (Pops Bar) brought new life into Pops with a full music line up each week. You can see the bar’s history in the decor at Pops and walk on through to become part of it’s boozy traditions!
