Crashing in at bar number 8 of 30 is the Riptide located at 3639 Taravel. The Riptide has been an outer sunset dive for as long as I can remember. Surfers young and old call the Riptide home, and rightly so! Stepping through the front door was like stepping through a time machine. Their are old neighborhood pictures, old posters and promotional items, surf boards, and a huge deer head lining the walls. The bar itself is huge and offers plenty of seating for it's patrons. Happy Hour runs from 4pm to 7pm daily, and there are even tasty munchies provided.
The Tide has a great selection of local beers on tap, a fantastic assortment of bottled beers, and just about any alcohol you can imagine, Tuesday night surf movies, nachos, and a great local vibe and crowd! Adeline and Eddie were our mixologists for the night. They kept our pitchers full and our livers pickled. The Riptide is easy to get to from anywhere in the city. So, if you are in need of a cold beer, great view, great bartenders, and local people... ride the L Taravel down to the Riptide and indulge yourself. Thank you to all the folks that came out to support!
Like a good neighbor Stretchvet is there...with a pitcher of Anchor and a bottle of Jameson!
