Editorial Review for Blondie's Bar & No Grill – by Erika Stalder

The Scene
Dark walls, exclusive banquettes and European streetside seating evoke opulence and intrigue--a fitting homage to the bar's signature drink: the martini. A slick, mixed crowd of party people stop to tip slim-stemmed glasses, shoot pool and pose, while weekend DJs stir hip-hop and dance beats.
 
The Draw
A seemingly endless martini menu takes drinkers light-years beyond the shaken-not-stirred-know-how of James Bond. Choices range from a chocolate mint to a standard gin 'tini with spicy sausage and blue cheese garnish. Thankfully, exotic choices don't mean small servings (each drink is a tall 16 ounces) and careful presentation guarantees a sharp-looking cocktail to match the crowd. A second bar in the back room opens on weekends to satisfy high demand.

Insider Tips

Where toSit

Nab a table near the open storefront and get a first look at all who enter.

When to Go

Blondie's--like most of the Mission--has become a popular weekend destination for the bridge-and-tunnel crowd. If you're looking for a low-key, neighborhood vibe, weekdays are best.

Parking

To play it safe, try the garage at Hoff and 16th streets.

Know Before You Go

Blondie's dancefloor is filled with bump-and-grinders on weekends and occupied by a pool table on weekdays.

Save Money

There is no cover charge during live music events. Call for entertainment schedule.

With the good looking group of City hipsters hanging in and out of Blondies you know you're a cool place. The beat of the music, if you don't sway and hop right into the action, go have a drink or two - you'll dance in the crazy mix. Girls' night out, Oh yeah! Take your muddah! She be cool especially after a smooth martini takes her back to "the day."

I’m a Dane who was going for dinner with some friends in a nearby restaurant, but they were late, so I decided to give my throat some liquid in the meantime. I passed Blondie’s Bar & Grill, and when I looked in, I liked what I saw. When going in, I was met by an extremely friendly bartender, who at all time was aware of my half empty or half full glass… All in all, Blondie’s has a great atmosphere and the prices are reasonable with a very good service. Having been to a lot of bar’s here in Denmark, I’m glad I didn’t pass Blondie’s and will definitely be back if possible…

Pros: All of the above

Cons: A long way from home
