Day 17: Fiddler's Green

Ahhhhh the luck of the Irish was with us tonight.  Located by Fisherman’s Wharf, Fiddler’s Green had that local charm with remnants of what I would think Ireland would be like.  (Need to plan a trip out there. Wait til they get a load of me!)   We got there early since we here this place can get packed, especially on a Friday night.  They have live music every day.   Sabbach plays from Thursday til Sunday.  He has been playing here for 15 years.  I’m sure Fiddler’s has been good to him and vice versa.  Once it hit 9pm, their upstairs opened up with a full bar, dance floor and a DJ to help you dance your ass off!  Wait, where am I?  This place has something for everyone.  More of the younger crowd was upstairs, while the mature local crowd was downstairs.  I spent most of my time with the O.G.’s.  Kevin, our bartender, host, entertainer and new friend was one of the best things that could happen to 30 Days of Debauchery and All City Project Crew!  The best way I can describe Kevin is that he was the combination of all of my favorite Irish folks rolled into one!  He heard from some of our friends that 30 Days was coming and he made sure he took care of us from the very beginning.  There was a point when I wanted to tip him out since he got me and Luther a shot, but he kept saying, “Ryan, don’t do that.”  We still managed to empty our pockets by the end of the night and made sure we left him with something.  Hey, when bars treat you that well, you’ll always come back.   I even got a chance to meet the owner Patrick and had a shot with him.  I think that was my back to back to back shots of Jamison.  Shot out to the rest of the staff: Jimmy, Dean, and Chris… Great job guys!  How does a chic come to the bar with no money and no ID and think she can come in?   Fiddler’s, I can’t thank you enough for the hospitality.  Next time when I visit, I’ll be coming for the food!

To everyone who came out…  Monica, Lori, Tony, Osha, Cathleen, Vincent and Ina, Katelyn, Schivonne, Dennis, A.Gee, Dez, Joe, Chris, Natalie, Catharine, Melissa and Jasmine (were looking good) Keep it coming….

To my 30 Days of Debauchery / All City Project Crew… I leave you with an Irish Toast.  –Rally Oh

Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer and another one!

Day 16: The Taco Shop @ Underdogs

It’s going to be a good night when you hear “All City” before you walk in the place.  The folks are here and are ready to get down!  Day 16 brings us to The Taco Shop @ Underdogs. Why has it taken me so long to visit this hidden gem in the Sunset?  Everything I heard about this place was all correct.   Great place to visit.   Eat, drink, and watch sports, my kind of place!   Plenty of TV’s in every direction to watch the game.  Bucket of beer and some tacos!  You have to try the Carnitas Quesadilla.  Yum. Arcade games to keep the drunken girls entertained.  I’ll be back here for Taco Tuesday!  $2 tacos, $2 Tecate… hell yeah!   Not bad for a Thursday.  The Debauchery continues…

Thank you goes out to Duke, Jessica, Chelsea, Darrick, and the girl in the GNR shirt. (Sorry Hun, I missed your name.)  Thanks for letting 30 days have fun in your establishment for Day 16.  Trust me, we’ll be back.

To all of our wonderful folks that come out and support 30DOD/ACP, right on!  Melissa, Darrick and Louise, Eli, Nick, Yoel, Ari and Cecily, Pauline, Rob and Sonia, Basil and Melissa, Remi, Catharine, Jamille, Natalie, Dennis, Dave, and Mr. Nate Payne.

ACP…. You guys got any cash on you?   I think we are doing too much.

2010: Day 29: Bruno's on Fillmore

An... "AllCityProject" wouldn't be so named if it did not fully represent/ change a... or every neighborhood... and as many historically relevant landmarks as absolutely possible. The Fillmore "Jazz" District is one of the city's most notable entertainment landmarks and has been since the mid to late 1940's. Also referred to as the Harlem of the West... the Fillmore has seen it's fair share of change, growth, and gentrification... yet has somehow managed to keep most it's flavor and historical flare throughout countless and massive redevelopment projects, and an influx of "visitors" turned "natives". Beginning in 1880 or so... through the 1890's... the original inhabitants of the cobble stoned Fillmore streets were Jewish and Japanese, working class migrants, that were forced to move away from the overcrowded streets of San Francisco's Downtown and local marine docks. The Jewish and Japanese community began to grow and thrive during those years and there were a number of vegetable gardens, butchers, and bakeries readily available for the growing wave of new inhabitants.
Yet, just a short time later... after the 1906 earthquake and ensuing mass destruction; most of the city (east of Van Ness) lay in ruins and burnt to the ground. The Fillmore miraculously managed to stay virtually unscathed and unharmed... and soon became the City's main thoroughfare and place of commerce while the reconstruction of San Francisco's infrastructure went underway!
Once the political machine was able to return to a rebuilt City Hall... the Fillmore became the premiere place for food, arts, and entertainment. Shortly there after, many of the Jewish inhabitants moved to other areas of the city. A huge number of Japanese, African American, Filipino, and Russian families and business owners moved in to fill the void. Fast Forward 75 years...
Now, The Fillmore District continues to remain one of the City's premiere locations for great live entertainment, great food, festivals, art, and business.
Despite several major face lifts, tummy tucks, and metaphorical nose jobs...The Fillmore District remains a major staple and destination for locals and tourists.
The All City Project took the party to Bruno's, located at 1375 Fillmore just south of Geary Blvd. Now...this place had a lot of flavor and a great feel. The walls are covered in great pictures, action shots, posters, paintings, and memorabilia of Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, The Rat Pack, and a host of other musicians.
The first thing that jumps out at you, once you walk in, besides the great pictures and perfect choice in paint color; is THE MASSIVE GRANITE BAR AND BLINDINGLY LARGE FLAT SCREEN TELEVISION!!! Although, Bruno's only serves beer and wine, they have a great selection of both to keep your palate pacified. The Kitchen is open and you can see that hot ass oven blazing away and the great crew in the back working hard! Mike was the cool boss man of the house, and Audea (The AUSSIE) was our bartender and server. They were both extremely friendly and receptive to our little social experiment. Mike even invited us to come and watch WORLD CUP for the semi-finals and finals. Right on you two. The food was great and the service was great.
So, if you are looking for a great place to eat (just don' sit near that hot ass oven), drink, and enjoy a historical neighborhood at it's finest...I suggest you get off your high horse, take your bee-hind down to the Fillmore District, south of Geary Blvd, and enjoy Bruno's great eats and atmosphere.
Thank you: ACP, Ed, Jah Dolla, Phil, Laurie, Damian, Joanne, Rob and Sonia, Otmar, Jamal, Mike and Audea.
Don't forget to come down to see the World Cup during the semi-finals and finals @9am.

2010: Day 19: Tommy's Joynt

Tommy's Joynt is a San Francisco classic, opened in 1947 this Hofbrau has been serving up great meals and drinks at great prices. It's a "Must Go"place to eat and drink for natives, transplants, and visitors alike. Located at 1101 Geary Boulevard Tommy's Joynt brings the "Joy" in their "Joynt"! Visit the website tommysjoynt.com and they can tell you everything I'm not. Lord forbid I get accused of plagiarism.

Tommy's Joynt serves homemade dishes of roast beef, turkey, corned beef, spare ribs, to buffalo stew and then some. There's even their unique daily menu. It boasts nearly 200 different beers from around the world, very impressive list! At this full bar a "Tommy's Joynt Irish Coffee" is the House Special and it can get you FUBAR'd. The beer on tap are nicely priced at $2.75 for a half pint and $4.50 for a pint. There are scores of beers in the bottle too and of course the ever seemingly endless flow of liquor, namely Jameson. Shots...shots...shots...shots....shots!!! Ain't that right Roxanna?! Tommy's Joynt is a CASH ONLY establishment (Yes fuk off IRS!) but not to worry, there is definitely an ATM on the premises.

So cutting to brass tacks, coming off the DPG at the Rock It Room the All City Project Crew (ACPC) attempted, and I stress attempted to come down from the multitude of drinks and something in the air the night before. Day 19 at Tommy's Joynt, wasn't going to happen either! Good thing there's yummy food literally feet from the bar. We started easy, but ended up going hard! Go hard!!! Yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah! Day 19 did not disappoint. The ACPC had a lovely turn out of some old and new family, friends, and friends of friends. Thank you all for coming out and showing love to the All City Project: 30 Days of Debauchery! With that being said I will call roll; Jess, Karim, Stan, Ben, Mark, Tricia, Clark, Jen, Sara, Basil, Joe, Fouad, Rob, Pauline, Roxanna, Marie, Ian, Sco-D, Rally:oh, Stretch Vet, and Mr. Barack Jr himself. I apologize if I missed anyone and a big thank you to the Tommy's Joynt staff! Big ups!

The debauchery continued...

So after the wonderful time at Tommy's Joynt the remaining ACPC headed down the street to Element Lounge where we caught some beats and basically drank some more. We ran into a fellow Wash-House Eagle named Mike who was our bottle-slinger. Thanks for the drinks brah! Whasup "Bullet" keep doing yo thang Uso!

And of course after the party is an after-party and...wait..."The game is to be sold not told!" quoted from the homie E-fo-O! Look out for the ACP Uncut Edit DVD in stores near you! Mwaaaahhhhhahahahaha! Tune in to see where we'll be at in our last leg of our quest for the muthaf*c@in' belt! ...and we on to the next one!

2010: Day 15: Toronado

Tuesday night at Toronado was quite a juxtaposition to the night before at Cigar Bar. Located in the lower-Haight, the beer and wine bar only (one exception to the liquor is Underburg), serves a wide-range of quality beers from all over the world. With about fifty beers on tap and 50 bottled beers, Toronado is a beer connoisseur's wet dream. Toronado, is open daily from 11:30am-2am and offers a happy hour that begins when they open until 6pm, with $1 off every drink.

At the pub, the sticker covered walls, beer tap filled memorabilia decor and the smell of fermented beer reeks throughout the place. Bluntness and shrewdness prevails when ordering your beverage of choice. Far from the welcoming staff, the spigot-meister, Steve, some UK lad that prides himself on being a world-class asshole never took the time to enlighten us on the variety of beers or perhaps he just didn't know.

Toronado is not for the faint hearted I come to discover. Spend a few minutes looking over the menu and when ready blurt your order at the bartender as if you suffered from Tourette's syndrome. That's just the culture of Toronado it seems. In any case the three man staff Steve, Eric and the burly doorman (looking like a ran-down Tank Abbott) added to the characteristics of the place and made All City feel right at home with that DGF (don't give a fuck) attitude.

The wide-range selections of beers with many of them having higher alcoholic content (8%-11%) gave the experience a unique twist. Prices of a pint range from $4 to $8 and above. Some notable pints consumed were Duvel, Chimay, Lucifer (all Belgium), Czeau (Czech), Flemish Red (Netherland), Radeburger (German), and a pomegranate cider (CA) which all were great experience to the taste buds. So, if you love beer, want to get an international experience, don't mind a reeking pub and you appreciate straight-forwardness visit Toronado (also check out Rosamunde next door for your tasty food delights).

Much appreciation and love goes out to the faithfuls: John (have a blast in Nicaragua), Murrel, Chelsea, Jess, Andy, Rose, Ian, Ethan, Angel, Dave, Kelani, Brandon, Julie, J-Choy, Christian, Joel, Jake, Alexio, Tiffany, ACP and anyone I might have missed. Thanks for the continued support and we'll see you at the next one!!!

2010: Day 3: Butter

Despite overcast weather conditions in SF, the month of June is already scorching. Day three and the All City cast is still going strong. Thursday night at Butter went exactly the way the bar's name suggest, smooth.

Located in SOMA, the relic feel of good ol' America and the pastimes of cars, drinking and Rock n' Roll reverberated throughout the place. Known to have its share of stiff drinks and party-goers, Butter offers a variety of drink concoctions, and a weekly happy hour special (6-9pm) with dollar-off drinks, it was sure to be a recipe for another awesome night.

The night began with an RV (Redbull and Vodka) and without delay was given a heaping of freshly made popcorn to go with it. Peeping a bit of the NBA Finals and who promptly shows up to get down is birthday boy and All City's honorary member Basil. That moment was the start of it all, participants and other members began trickling in filling the bar space. At one point Basil was serenaded with songs of "Happy Birthday" and a deep-fried-chocolate-covered-twinkie complimentary of the house that put the icing on the cake.

Our mixologists Jay and Kevin took care of us all throughout the night. The drinks were made nice and stiff livening up the times. Other mentionable drinks are a Tang-tini (Tang martini), a shot of beer topped-off with Barcardi Lemon and lastly was the infamous Jello shots and boy did they hit. If fair prices, good people and tasty drinks is what you dig, get to Butter.

Having a kitchen with a trailer like facade, Butter serves a bunch of finger-foods and good ol grub all night. A one-stop spot for you debauchedness needs. With an "U" shaped bar, for max capacity, 2 wall projectors, and plenty of bar stools the place is a sure visit spot to enjoy with friends. Nothing fancy but it down right works. Thumbs up!

All you lovely people who came out supported, showed-love and kick it with us, thank you! You are what makes these nights memorable and keep the momentum moving on to the next one.

Much love to the everyone who showed up and I was reluctant to do this but this is ALL CITY and you're in city limits, so here we go. Big ups Romper room style, I see Sonia, Basil, Pauline, Joe, Melissa, Monica, Katie, Natasha, Tiffany, Jack, Anessa, Anne, Pearl, Teresa, Jamie, Erin, Ruth, Kareem, Mike, Moni, Ian, Rob, Fouad, Dennis, Kevin & Jay and anyone else who escaped role-call.

Again a big thank you to all the lovely ladies who partook of the evening's debauchery and the fellas who's been holding it down alongside us!
