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” — a definition that, back then, quietly covered backroom card rooms and bookmaking parlors as much as it did corner bars (the descendants of which mostly live online now; view all – the UK casinos not on Gamstop for a sense of where that energy ended up). 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!

Check out this week’s full entertainment line up at Pops Bar:

Mission Local reports:

A 23-year-old man is in critical condition after he was assaulted and stabbed at Dolores Park late Wednesday afternoon, eyewitnesses reported. Police confirmed one person was stabbed at 5:23 p.m. by a group of five suspects ranging from 17 to 20 years old.

Two eyewitnesses, Mark and Barbara, said a group of five or six youths chased the victim across the park and then attacked him with a golf club and a glass bottle.

[...]

One eyewitness said that it was reminiscent of incidents in the 1980s.

Monday night only at the Alamo. Here’s the rest of the very intriguing blurb:

Thirty minutes of chains, bats, guns, blood, drugs, gangsters, rollergirls, and an original soundtrack from post-punk/industrial legend Patrick Miller of Minimal Man. The story of the making of RACKTOWN, USA has to be heard to be believed – and lucky enough, we’ll have the guys who made it on hand to reminsice about shooting in grindhouses, bribing cops, and other things we can’t even mention here! We said they bribed cops and there’s STILL stuff we can’t mention in writing! Don’t miss this!

Get tickets here.

Our good pals North American Scum are representing the USA in a clash of titans at Rickshaw Stop later this month. They were killer as LCD Soundsystem (before LCD Soundsystem came back from the dead) and they were killer as Talking Heads and as part of a Prince vs. Bowie superband, so I can’t wait to see them as the entirety of the ’90s! (In the USA.)
