I must admit my first thought was of the Blue Oyster bar.

Jimmy's Corner in New York is good fun, but there are a million fun bars in NYC of course.

So you've decided to ply your trade as a rent "boy" in San Francisco, probably not a bad choice going by the reputation of that city.

Dive bars
Everytrip to the US I will head out and try find a decent dive bar. US bars are always pretty much the same, long bar / dark, Irish pub, restaurant bar or Sports Bar.
They just don't really do decent bars. So last night checked out the Saloon bar in SF (among others).
The Saloon - North Beach/Telegraph Hill - San Francisco, CA | Yelp
A blues bar, it was the first decent bar I've seen for sometime. The crowd was old, it was so old EternalOptimist would have been the baby. And gnarly. There were bikers, birds who looked like bikers, down n outs and kicking ass live blues. It was dark, dank, sweaty.
This was a place Suity would have tulip his pants.
For some reason some mountain of a man took offense when I sat on his jacket which was on the corner of a stool & gave me a shove, scowl and mouthful of abuse. I decided to shove him back. By the end of the night and as I was leaving this giant of a man bear hugged me and kissed me on the top of my forward. Weird.
It's the oldest bar in SF and worth a visit if you're over, but not for the lily livered.
Anyone else recommend any great dive bars?Tags: None
