FROM PERKS
You’ve been quoting these classic flicks for years. You look up to their stars. Now, you’re about to acquire some posters from your favorites—from The Godfather to Star Wars to Deadpool—signed by the stars who brought them to life, for up to 69% off.
SEASON OPENER
Tonight (or this afternoon if you duck out of the office early), head to the opening of Presidio Social Club’s BBQ Biergarten Wednesdays, where barbeque specials will be accompanied by patio views of the park and rotating drink partners like Fort Point Beer. And, more importantly, those drink partner’s drinks.
JOY MEETS WORLD
Trick Dog has truly outdone itself with its latest menu, the Joy of Cocktails, a play on the cookbook everyone’s mom had. It’s a collaboration with 16 chefs from 13 of the city’s best restaurants to create cocktails like the Tomatero Farms from Frances and Octavia’s Melissa Perello with seasonally-infused rum and meyer lemon cordial. Again, good menu.
YES WE CANTINA
Beloved pop-up Yo También—the one that mixes tropical and traditional Venezuelan flavors with California produce—has established some roots in the old Wooly Pig Café spot with a permanent cantina location of their very own. Though they’ll probably share if you ask nicely.
IN IT TO SPIN IT
Everyone’s favorite Susan Sarandon-owned ping-pong bar, SPiN, is hosting a Spinbledon tournament and Friday is Player’s Night. Which basically means tennis whites-themed attire, the chance for Wimbledon-related prizes and gratis strawberries and cream. Which is a Wimbledon thing, apparently.
FRANCE, FRANCE REVOLUTION
Celebrate the storming of the Bastille in the way that would make the old French proud: by hanging out in a closed-off alleyway with live music, French food from Goudy’s and drinks from Bar Fluxus and the Irish Bank. Liberté, égalité, block parté.
MAN VS. MACHINE
Its name is Barsys, and it’s an automated cocktail maker you can fit onto your countertop. In other news, it appears this year’s song of summer may not come from an American: here are our top five international contenders. And yesterday was apparently “710 Day,” a new stoner holiday for celebrating THC concentrates. Ergo, we rounded up some of the finest vape pens in all the land. Enjoy.
Joe Starkey is the tallest person in the room 90% of the time. He enjoys liquors that aren’t smoky, dive bars that are, and has a vague dread that someone, somewhere might be having more fun than him.
