by Shalon G. on I like this place. They use the air conditioning, There are sofas to kick it on when you're waiting out a shit band. So what about drinks being overpriced. Aren't all Los Angeles venues serving overpriced alcohol? The sound is pretty good and there aren't any barriers so you can get as close as you want. It's also cool that there is seating for when you're not feeling so good.
by Jon H. on this bar is at the epicenter of what i like to call the "Smell-Good District". seriously, this stretch of Divisadero smells like food constantly. if my nose had a penis, it'd be turgid with lust and happiness. so my buddy Ryan calls me up one night and invites me out to "this Ethiopian joint" as he put it to have a few and grub on some Ethiopian food. two things came to mind: - Ethiopian cuisine? i gotta see this for myself. - I love San Francisco for even having some place to GET Ethiopian food. so the food ends up kicking ass, the drinks end up pretty strong and reasonably affordable, and everyone's happy. try the Ethiopian beer!! it rules!!! the bartenders are attentive, smiley, and pleasant. there is a pool table in the back for anybody wanting to show off cleavage, and there is even the option of reserving tables; they even offer the place as a venue for art exhibits.... the big minus one star comes from the very recently updated jukebox. its gone digital, which has potential to be cool, but i dunno if it was just the particular crowd that happened to be there that night or what, the music was just completely OFF. i hate being an elitist about anything, but man, cmon, are you seriously going to play that song? really? there's an entire bar here that has to listen to that shit, ya know. can't win'em all, i guess.
by Lavette Moricle on if you're a fan of euro trash, this is the place for you....otherwise, i would never go back... i guess this is the place to go on a monday night...haha
