Day 24: Elephant & Castle

The All-City Project crew is on fire after closing down the Show Down the night before. Day 24 of debauchery brings us to Elephant & Castle in the Financial District of the city. E&C is an English-style pub whose name was derived from Royal scandal and gossip dating back to the 14th century when Charles I was betrothed to a Spanish princess from Castille. The name originates from the first Elephant & Castle in London where it still operates to this day.

"Today, E&C has grown to over 20 restaurants across the United States and Canada from Toronto, Boston, and Chicago to Vancouver, San Diego, and San Francisco. This record of 30 years of stability and success is due to E&C's continued commitment to be the standard of what North American consumers demand of a British pub and restaurant concept - Bang On Food, Bang On Drinks, and Bang On Service!"

As visitors and residents were piling into the city for "Pride" weekend, everyone wanted a big bang for the buck! E&C did not disappoint! The food is great here, may I recommend their famous fish n' chips or deliciously well-made Shepard's pie. Either way if you're around the way come into this beautifully decorated English pub and have a cold beer or a cocktail and enjoy some great pub grub. You can catch sports games that are televised on one of the many flat HD T.V.'s or play some pool in the back room. I had numerous shots of Jameson whiskey, several pints of Boddington's ale, and at least 1 shot, that I remember of Jagermeister. The monster in me comes out when I drink Jager, good thing he didn't come out! phew!

The E&C staff was great and they took care of the All-City crew! Big thank yous to the Manager, Ian aka Munter, and our shot-slingers Daniel and Tara! You guys rock hard! Sorry if we kept you guys passed your bedtimes! Lol! The ACP crew closed-out yet another pub! Thanks to everybody who came out, it was indeed another grand time in the SFC!

2010: Day 28: Pilsner Inn

2010: Coming off a weekend where SF Pride celebrated forty-years of diversity with a massive parade and festival, All City Project was not far behind. Monday night ACP celebrated day 28 in the Castro, yes, you heard right in the Castro. After all, All City would not be all city if we didn't hit San Francisco's infamous Castro.

Pilsner Inn, located at 225 Church St, is a goulash of pro-sports, patio, pinatas and penguins (how's that alliteration). The place is very spacious both inside and out. It has a very comfy back patio that goes great in the summer heat. Along with the layout, PI has 24 beers on draft that are eclectic as the Pride flag that hangs. Some notable drafts are the Boonville (amber ale), Hell or High Watermelon (wheat), Fat Tire, Chimay, Boddingtons, Ace Perry, Stock Top and of course (hey) Big Daddy. In addition to the taps there are many other bottle beers that I'm sure one can find a niche for. Pilsner Inn, does not have a Happy Hour, instead they hosts all day daily specials (that switches day to day) which is fantastic because you can show up when you show up.

Our bartender for the night was Mike (you rock!!). He was nice, knowledgeable and attentive to ACP's copious drinking abilities. Although, I did not have any cocktails, Mike makes a mean margarita for those who dare to take the taste test. Prices are fair and the service do you justice. If you're looking for a good time, want to meet interesting people and have some drinks visit Pilsner Inn.

PI has many activities and games to keep you occupied and drinking. They boast a pool table, 2 flat-screens for your sporting needs, 3 pinball machines, a few other misc. games, a digital jukebox and my favorite Cali Lotto. The best thing off all is that they provide condoms for the promiscuousness in all of us. Thanks PI for the jimmies!!!! Muahahahah!!!

A big thank you to all those who showed up and kick it with ACP! Big ups to Ian, Shakeena, Katie-doll, San Pancho Libre, Stretchvet, Rally Oh, Barack Jr, Stephanie (Backstreet Bitches, really?) and to all the ladies & fine handsome menssss that was clocking me and my crew (what would you do? if you can get with me and my crew?) ACP loves you!!!

My name is sCo-D and I have pride!!!
