Editorial Review for Bigfoot Lodge – by Daniel Liszt

The Scene
Located on an unassuming block, this offbeat find is like something out of David Lynch's kooky "Twin Peaks." The bumpy walls give the interior a log-cabin feel, with peculiar taxidermy to boot. Patrons sit at stools surrounding a winding wood bar, which boasts turntables and a TV that may be airing kitschy flicks (sometimes augmented with foreign subtitles). Above the bar, fake flames flicker behind miniature trees and chalkboards reveal rotating drink specials. Toward the back, a giant sasquatch stands near a faux fireplace.

The Draw
Adventuresome travelers and natty locals come here for the kitsch. Barmaids sport form-fitting Girl Scout shirts and sling specialty cocktails, while a mostly rock-and-roll soundtrack sets the pace (Beck, White Stripes). Patrons can reminisce while drinking Girl Scout Cookies, which taste like actual Thin Mints.

Hip and Happening Little Venue. my girl and I got to experience this place twice. We found it as wandering tourists out on a weeknight, and returned on a busy weekend. This place doesn't showcase live music but they had some kind of IPOD game. You submit it and they play your tunes until some one "gongs it". If you get away with 25 minutes w/ out being "gonged" you get a free drink. Late night weekends are crowded. That night feature d a killer rock&roll show, where this crazy mexican psychobilly bartender literally lights the bar on fire, dancing around to the tune of GNR's welcome to the jungle. It was an Awesome show in itself! Some of the regulars told me this was a typical weekend. Appearantly this place hires rockstars... that are also fast and friendly. in the hetero/CustomerService- atypical SFrisco kind of way) The place has no food, BYO seemed to be acceptable. I wolfed down some righteous fish tacos from nearby Nicks Crispy Tacos in plain sight of the barkeep w/out complaint. Their selection of single malts was limited, so I explored a couple of their house specialties. The Sasquatch is an aptly named monstrosity that's a definite B-ng for the Buck. Its a palletable kick in face. Out of curioustiy I tried my girlfriends "girl scout cookie" another creative house specialty. twas A mint choclaty girly drink served in a martini glass. Props for aesthetics, creativity a drinkability. Props on atmoshere and style. Hip Kitchy- 1950's camp lodge, retro kind of style. Female bartenders wear cute girlscout outfits. The lighting accentuates the wood log cabiny interior while making it comfortable and intimate. Respect their landmark Sasquatch in the back. I was told Molesting it can get you 86'ded. . All in all a good experience. Well priced, Excellent music. .............

Pros: good service/ good prices/ unique ambience and entertainment value

Cons: need better selection of single malts/ no food

Who knew? This place is fun to go to when you don't want to be surrounded by guys in crisp, collared shirts. Drinks are cheap, music is good, but it is kind of small. Quirky little neighborhood bar.

Pros: Cheap drinks, good music.

Cons: Small.
