Mission Mission

This week we ask you to take one for the team and drink for a cause! All week long as part of Negroni Week you can drink to benefit Galeria de la Raza art gallery and community space in the mission. Pop’s Bar introduces the NEGRONITO shot: Navy strength gin lends backbone to this bittersweet shooter. Enter Campari, Dolin Rouge, and Regan’s Orange Bitters, mixed and chilled to full strength. Unshaken, unstirred, unapolagetic. Hey, it’s for a good cause! So down the shot and ease the soul with a chili salt seasoned orange slice, knowing it supports Galeria de la Raza. $6 Negronito Shot available June 1st-June 7th.

Its full name is The Midway Creative Complex, it’s big, and it’ll be devoted to lots of fun stuff. From the press release:

Simultaneously a creative laboratory and performance space, The Midway is a venue for the
public to engage with a variety of exhibitions, workshops, performances and special events. The
complex is actively partnering with nonprofit organizations to build a stronger and more vibrant
creative community in the Bay Area. Behind the space is a team of local entrepreneurs and
creatives, spearheaded by Jeff Whitmore alongside partners Jordan Langer and Pete
Glikshtern, whose past projects include Public Works, Pier 70 Partners, Mighty, Oddjob,
Artbeats, and The Myriad. With some of the world’s best art, food, and entertainment at its
doorstep, San Francisco is the prime locale for the rise of The Midway. Conveniently located
one block from Muni with readily accessible bike & car parking, The Midway will be an easy to
reach destination for San Francisco’s food, art and music loving public.

Opening night is tonight. Expect art, performance, music, drinks, and lots more. RSVP and invite your friends!

It’s the best radio station in SF, BFF.fm, housed inside the trippiest space in the Mission, The Secret Alley, and they’re both opening their doors to the public for one night only! Here’s the deal:

Be there as we launch our Kickstarter campaign for our second studio LIVE on the air! We’ll be screening the video, eating snacks, and answering any questions you might have about what we’re up to.

If you’ve never visited The Secret Alley, here’s a great opportunity to check out this magical space, while getting a sneak peek of our progress building Studio B!

We’re hoping to raise at least $15k to take our awesome community radio station to the next level, so we hope that even if you’re unable to make it, you keep an eye out for our project and tell a friend!

(BFF.fm is located at 180 Capp St. near 17th and Capp)
