Local writer Omar Mamoon got the scoop and put it in Esquire Magazine. Check it out.

When your bar opens at the wee hour of 6am, one thing better be on point: a killer Bloody Mary. Pops Bar is proud to serve up a Bacon Bloody Mary for those of you seeking the ultimate hair of the dog remedy or to simply kick off your brunch with a nice buzz.  Last year Pops Bar was voted Best Bloody Mary in SFWEEKLY’s Best of San Francisco.

Consider voting for Pops Bacon Bloody Mary again in the Best Bloody Mary category so we can keep our title!  VOTE NOW:

This week’s entertainment line up at Pops Bar:

(more…)

UPDATE: This event now starts at 6pm due to “unforseen developments,” don’t be late!

Not a whole lot of info yet, but our boy Rocky (of Rocky’s Frybread fame) is doing something new and he’s calling it Rocko’s Tacos, and there’s a grand opening party this Saturday!!! Here’s everything we know:

Oh and we also heard something about “PUNK GUAC” can’t wait!!!!

It’s on the corner of 22nd and Folsom! So close to home! Here’s the plan:

We want to open a casual neighborhood restaurant that brings the look, feel and food of Saigon to San Francisco. Think bright colors, tropical plants, pyramids of fresh fruit and playful plateware! We want it to feel cozy yet as if you’ve just stepped into another country. After all, vacation is a state of mind.

How about hours?

We’ll be open for lunch, brunch and dinner.

And the menu?

The menu will feature noodle soups and rice plates that keep you warm on those cold San Francisco nights, plus street food and dim sum bites.

[...]

…Bun Bo Hue (spicy lemongrass beef noodle soup), Chicken Pho, Pork Garlic Noodles, Fried Egg Sandwiches, Yellow Curry with Udon Noodles, and Handmade Lamb Dumplings. We’ll continue to make everything from scratch, like our shrimp chips and oyster sauce, to offer Vietnamese food that is soulful and exciting.

Will there be booze???

And of course, beer and wine to enjoy it with!

Yesssssssssssss! Okay everything sounds perfect. Here’s another photo:

The place is totally bare bones at the moment, so they’ve got a lot of work to do, and there’s a Kickstarter campaign with some killer rewards if you’d like to help them out!

Congrats, RPS!

Don’t wanna show or tell too much because the mystery part is a big part of the fun, but the drinks were epic and the food was great too.

The place is called Flip Flop for now, but it’ll be different in a couple months. It’s part of a larger concept called Over Proof, and to find it you gotta go into ABV and up a staircase in the back, and to get in you need to have a reservation.

And it’s at the legendary Verdi Club right here in the Mission! RSVP and invite your friends!
