Mission Mission

A new bar on Mission Street! Evil Eye! In the former Savanna Jazz spot (which was most recently briefly Coco Frio). And it’s pretty fun! There’s pinball in the front, pool in the back, a wide array of comfy old furniture, a very pleasant staff, super tasty bar food, cocktails in cool glasses (as you can see), and the vibe is pretty chill (as you can see).

Peruse the cocktail menu here and the food menu here. (Me and my pals particularly enjoyed the wings.)

Also worth noting perhaps, Capp Street Crap observed that the place is a tiny bit reminiscent of the old Place Pigalle (RIP).

DON’T FORGET TO GOD DAMN VOTE

Take it away, Nicky:

Guys, bad news. Eighty-Five Song Happy Hour is mired in crippling debt and the banks are threatening to SHUT US DOWN. If we don’t sell at least 28 gin and tonics between 6 and 9 PM, there may not be a safe public space to listen to Matthew Sweet records on a Wednesday in the Bay Area anymore. Come out and show your support on June 1, and send a clear message to Washington about what really matters.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Phonographic Memory is the event where neighbors get together and play records and share stories about them. Here, the Phono Mem team makes a case for skipping the first half of the Warriors game tonight:

Warriors fans, we know you are a little tense. You’ve been giving your team your full attention the past couple weeks, but granting them a little breathing room will actually help both you, and the team. By giving us an hour of your time tomorrow you can ease the pressure on the players, and order can be restored. The stress and tension will leave your body as you relax to stories and songs, and by the end of our session you will be enriched and ready to fully enjoy the last half of the game. Let’s be honest, that’s all you really need to watch anyway.

Debatable! But anyway, tonight’s program is specifically about 1996 and one of tonight’s special guests is Penelope Houston from the Avengers! RSVP and invite your friends!
