Mission Mission

Ok so we’re not quite sure if it will be great or a complete train wreck, but either way we have the best seats in the house waiting for you at Pops Bar tonight. From 6-7:30pm, watch the 1st Presidential Debate live and have a drink with us. Something tells us you’re gonna need a stiff one!

[Pop's has lots of TVs plus a big projection screen in the back, in case you didn't know... And afterward it's American Tripps, the "Berlin-style" ping pong night, with resident DJs Beauregard & Nutzeffekt this week spinning killer jams dedicated to Hillary and Donald all night! -Editor]

When Kevin isn’t out and about playing bass for the band UNCLE RIFKIN and guitar for LADY CROONER, you can catch him behind the bar at Pops on Thursday and Sunday mornings.  He mixes a mean cocktail but his drink of choice is a cold brew on tap.  You can also catch Kevin at Madrone Art Bar from time to time hosting Spike’s Open Mic Sunday. Stop in and have a beer with Kevin!

F*ck Caleb! And we say that with nothing less then true love and affection for Pops bartender Caleb, aka Sprinkles. Known for inventing delicious speciality cocktails on the fly, he often stumps the rest of the staff when patrons come in wanting a repeat of an “off menu” Caleb concoction. One such cocktail is called “Risky Business”, a simple and delicious combination of tequila infused with cucumber over ice and soda water. See what Caleb cooks up for you every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at Pops Bar.
