Mission Mission

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.

It might not completely save the day, but every little bit helps… Capp Street Crap reports:

Last week, the city’s Historical Preservation Committee voted to approve the bar for the city’s legacy business program, which offers financial incentives to protect the city’s older vulnerable businesses. Doc’s Clock will cement its new status if the Small Business Commission votes in its favor at a meeting later this month.

Doc’s Clock has about a year and two months remaining on its lease at 2575 Mission St., which changed hands in July of last year. The new owner has decided not to renew the bar’s lease.

Read on for the details of the program and some thoughts from Doc’s owner Carey Suckow.

And then also, if you want, read my emo poem about Doc’s from a couple months ago.

A new bar on Mission Street! Evil Eye! In the former Savanna Jazz spot (which was most recently briefly Coco Frio). And it’s pretty fun! There’s pinball in the front, pool in the back, a wide array of comfy old furniture, a very pleasant staff, super tasty bar food, cocktails in cool glasses (as you can see), and the vibe is pretty chill (as you can see).

Peruse the cocktail menu here and the food menu here. (Me and my pals particularly enjoyed the wings.)

Also worth noting perhaps, Capp Street Crap observed that the place is a tiny bit reminiscent of the old Place Pigalle (RIP).

RIP

Special shout out to Broke Ass Stuart for featuring Pops Bar as a place to go “when you need a drink and it’s incredibly, ridiculously early.” We’ve got you covered, opening every day at 6am. We also nudge you to stay up late with us this week, especially on Thursday for Cinco De Mayo!
