361241 Wed Jan 17 19:27:05 -0800 2007 18 1 San Francisco Bay Area 0 2198531 Looking for a copy of the drink menu. Anyone have a copy scanned or have pics of the menu? Wed Jan 17 19:27:05 -0800 2007 13193 ponyboy 1 2198670 I'd love to see one too. The website says they have cocktails - does anyone know what kinds they make? Do they only make champagne, whiskey, rum, and tequila cocktails? Wed Jan 17 20:00:09 -0800 2007 2198531 16908 coolbean98 1 2198745 they have all kinds of stuff. whiskey, rum, vodka, whatever based cocktails. you can't...or i've yet to see anyone attempt to order a standard manhatten or dirty martini, but just go it's worth the trouble. there's no limit, you can stay for 1 drink or leave plastered. if you stay past your rsvp time they will simply ask you to move tables if they're busy. however i hear if you go and 'hell's kitchen' is on the menu you're in for a treat, i've yet to see this page. Wed Jan 17 20:12:18 -0800 2007 2198531 19880 wchane 1 2198917 I went. A cool spot with drinks that will wipe you out (note: eat first, they don't have any food at all - not a peanut). The menu is pages and pages long. Too bad it is in such a bad part of town (take a cab). Be sure to call in advance for a reservation and password.

[and i dont really consider that area too bad] >(note: eat first, they don't have any food > lots of places to eat right around there Wed Jan 17 22:30:52 -0800 2007 2198917 16770 psb 3 2199707 Yeah, I kind of laughed when I saw that it was called a "bad area" (reminded me of Repo Man, but that's another story). I've walked there from the Financial District many times and it's fine. Chestnut Street it ain't, but that's kind of the whole deal - it's a "speakeasy." Traditionally those spots were unsavory to say the least. But you could always get great drinks! Wed Jan 17 23:25:01 -0800 2007 2199425 13093 Maya 2 2199735 When you say "wipe you out" is that a reference to the strength of the drinks or the prices of them? Wed Jan 17 23:30:23 -0800 2007 2198917 10125 Frosty Melon 1 2199781 I'm excited! Thanks for the tip on eating first - we have 1.5 hour reservation, and I know I couldn't make it through that on an empty stomach. Wed Jan 17 23:43:08 -0800 2007 2198531 16908 coolbean98 1 2199995 Wipe out meaning the drinks are strong. Completely disagree with the board about the location We're talking about the Tenderloin here. It's not safe to walk past the Clift alone. This is MY opinion. Other than Cortez, would love to hear other restaurant recommendations in that area. Thu Jan 18 00:39:21 -0800 2007 2198531 63638 LisaLisaSF 2 2200011 lol..sent a few people there last week and they were drunk by dinner at quinche. Thu Jan 18 00:44:00 -0800 2007 2199995 19880 wchane 2 2200364 I agree it's not all that savory, and can be unclean/unpleasant, but I have never felt in danger. Thu Jan 18 02:19:16 -0800 2007 2199995 13093 Maya 2 2203443 I do agree that it's up to the individual to decide how safe they feel anywhere. BUT I'm a woman (of small stature) and live "past the Clift" so I walk that route at least twice a day, including at night. Yes, I get panhandled a lot but I've never felt unsafe. Though I would not advise walking around alone after 2:00 am...anywhere really. I heard about 2 near abductions of young women walking home alone in Pacific Heights so ya never know. I was just at B&B, where I stood outside alone while waiting for some friends. Yeah the usual cast of crazies were milling about but I really don't think that any of the folks that you encounter are out to rob or hurt you. I'm a big fan of the TL and all the cool little shops and restaurants that are in my hood. I tend to be a bit defensive when I hear people say how "bad" it is. I understand your point of view as someone that doesn't know the area as I do but I wanted to share my perspective too. Thu Jan 18 21:22:24 -0800 2007 2199995 19722 fine wino 2 2206733 A la Turca on Geary and Larkin is a great place.

BTW, is the branch of Pearl's Phat Burger at Post and Jones new? I assume it is a branch of the place in Mill Valley. Thu Jan 18 00:56:49 -0800 2007 2198531 16770 psb 2 2203458 Yes, Pearl's has been there maybe 5 mo. or so. Same owners as the Mill Valley shop. Someone on this board recommended ordering the buffalo burger rare and now it's my regular order. Of course the beef burgs are nice too. And I love their fries - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside every time. Thu Jan 18 21:25:49 -0800 2007 2200052 19722 fine wino 1 2201078 B&B, by virtue of its name, really specializes in bourbon cocktails - many specialties from decades ago, and wonderful. Thu Jan 18 06:11:57 -0800 2007 2198531 55677 sfoperalover 1 2202716 I keep meaning to take pictures of the menu but never get past photos of the lovely laser-etched cover! I do a pretty good job of documenting the ingredients of what I've had there so far. You can see my photos at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/courtneypix/tags/bourbonandbranch Check the photo descriptions for ingredients. I sat at the bar for the first time the other night, which is a great experience. You can learn a lot! I mainly chatted with Dominic, who is also tends bar at Range.

I love documenting my food and drink in pictures. Fri Jan 19 18:58:13 -0800 2007 2206357 67321 courtneyp
