When times are hard and you need a beer in one hand and a pool cue in the other, come here. The bar's drinks are stiff and to the point, and the jukebox plays surf rock, Pavement, and The Pogues. Read more

Dive bar perfection. There's usually some type of argument involving street kids to enjoy.

The Cane one of the oldest bars in the haight and I'm sure that Jerry, Jimi and Janis where here it was the same. Tip the Tavern Masters kindly.

Best dive in the city. They serve High Life and they pour generously

A favorite afternoon spot of many Haight weirdos. This could be a plus depending on your personality.

Filled with douchery. The poop on walls in the bathroom is reminiscent of cave paintings in Germany completed my gold cane experience!

Big, inexpensive bloody marys. Brendan is my favorite.

Nothing special bar that looks like it could’ve been in the movie version of ‘Barfly’.
