Thanks, David.

It should be no surprise when it feels like the entire world is trying to gain residence in our beloved Mission District, that we’d be just as a popular a hot spot for beings from out of this world. Alright so we took some creative license here, but it does turn out that California has the highest reported sightings of UFOs in the country.

On Thursdays from 1-8pm, we celebrate UFOs, Aliens, Nibiru, Planet X, Super Heroes, Ancient Aliens, Star Trek, Doctor Who and all of the classic Sci Fi from the 50s on at the Pops Files. Come watch real life UFO videos on our big screens and ponder the mysteries of the universe with us. Here’s a preview:

I meant to take more photos I guess but I had a lot of whiskey and forgot.

Word on the street anyway: “About 10 more days” til they close up shop at their current location and move up the street to new digs. Enjoy it while you can!

Thank you for voting Pops Bar best dive bar in SF Weekly’s Best of San Francisco! We did our research, a 1961 dictionary defined a “dive” as “a disreputable resort for drinking or entertainment”. It’s also referred to as a neighborhood bar, where local residents gather to drink and socialize. While we think it’s sexy to have a bad reputation, we happily accept the latter. Come get divey with your neighbors this week at Pops Bar!
