That being said, one of the coolest dives in the Mission (let alone San Francisco) as its not a 'scene', its completely unpretentious, and the crowd is deliciously mixed. Weed-friendly in the back garden. Sometimes they do film festivals outside too. They've got the requisite dodgy hostel upstairs, a kitchen that does every kind of BBQ (veggie options too) on the weekend. Packed when the sun is out, its the best way to spend a day among 'real' San Franciscans. Spend a few hours here, crammed on rows and rows of picnic benches between friends and strangers, make new friends, make one-night friends, don't leave without having the best, spiciest, lip-smackingest Bloody Mary (the Margaritas here will knock you on your ass, as well) in the city, and if you're still able to stand by dusk, make sure you get 2 or 3 tamales (you won't be able to stop at just one) from the Mission's world famous "Tamale Lady". She'll sell one to you for 2 bucks. The jukebox is a favourite in the city - you really can't miss with Ween's 10 Golden Country Greats, Gram Parsons or Turbonegro.

Lets just say its the best small venue for music in SF, then. Or your favourite Tendernob local. Whatever you like, darling. Fer ye smokers out there, due to some nifty lil design thinking, you can actually sit in a bar in SF and smoke (its a detached room you enter from inside the bar). And the best part? You're not charged a cover to enter the bar just to drink when there are shows! They collect your bucks at the back so no worries if you just need some Budweiser in you. The best jukebox in the city (Zeitgeist is the 2nd best) -- where else are you gonna find Kimya Dawson on a juke, the best nights of my life have been spent here... pooltable nocover NobHill tendernob TL indie punk tenderloin bar smoker-friendly Jukebox bar 37.787399292 -122.4199981689 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:30:00 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/949-hemlock-tavern-san-francisco-ca-usa
