San Francisco

1548 Polk St, near Sacramento; Nob Hill; 415.346.5699

This unabashedly kitschy Nob Hill dive's styled after custom vans of the 70s/early 80s, with booths that rock shag carpets, mirrored ceilings, water beds, and working CB radios...one booth actually is an '83 GMC. Their juke's all 70s tunes and they only serve cheap, American beer/liquor, proudly proclaiming "if you want a Schlitz and a shot of JD with Ted Nugent in the background, then this is the bar for you". And frankly, if that's not what you want, go back to Communist Russia, Communist Russian.
