Bacchus

A bourgeois wine bar in Russian HIll named after the Roman god of debauchery. Lots of lilies in the window; cable car passes out front.

Nice wine selection, although a little pricey. Good place to go for a pre-dinner date.

Amelie

Let's check "A" off the list shall we. 

According to Ethan: 

"It was a good place. Went for happy hour and got three wines for ten bucks. The bartenders have heavy hands, and the wine was good. Well worth it. Def'  go back."

ABC Bar Crawl

My friend, Ethan, recently hatched an interesting idea. Here it is in a nutshell: From now until whenever, he will start at the beginning of the alphabet and go to a bar whose name begins with that letter. Each time he goes out, he will move to the next corresponding letter.

This came about because he feels like he frequents the same places every time he heads out in San Francisco and needs to discover some new haunts.

The only rules are: he must go to places he's never been before, and he has to progress in alphabetical order. How far he'll actually get is anyone's guess.

Now, you may ask why I'm writing about here. No good reason. I just love harebrained ideas and  hope to document his discoveries because God knows I need something to get this blog rolling again.
