Editorial Review for Zeitgeist – by Daniel Liszt
In Short
A black door featuring a skull-like parody of the Playboy bunny gives way to a shed-like interior. Punk-influenced tunes fill the spacious main room, where the focal point is the bar's approximately 30 draft beers (including Great White). Beneath a collage of signs, friendly, tattooed bartenders chat with grizzled regulars (many of whom are art students). Further back, a small room holds a food counter, pool table and two pinball machines.

Warm Beer Cold Women Stay Away Zeitgeist used to be a great hangout for bikers and bicyclists, but these days, once the sun hits the beer garden, it's packed with young urban professionals who complain about having to sit on a keg. I usually don't flame existing posts, but c'mon "pammierae" you say it's not a biker bar, then complain that it's dirty. What kind of biker bars do you hang out in. Oh, I just saw, you're a Harley rider. I still love the place and come 4:30 AM on Easter morning, I'll be hanging out there eating doughnuts and drinking coffee getting ready for the ride up Mt. Tam, but I've got to give it one star to help keep away the hordes.

We had to check this bar out being that we ride(harleys) and apprecaite good music and people. This bar is not what I consider a biker bar, however the people were very friendly, but if you are looking for a biker bar this is not the place to go. We saw a multitude of bikes there (the non motorized sort), but no real BIKES. Maybe the bikers don't ride down here in January, in Oregon we ride all year around. This bar was also dirty with empty kegs sitting around all over (I guess they were supposed to be stools) but it was substandard.
