Mister Bing's

Never amateur night. I've been coming to this bar since the 80's. I would drive from Sacto whenever the I got the urge to visit Bruce or Robert or Scooter and it never failed that the bartender would shout my drink "vodka collins" whenever I walked in the door. Except for the jukebox, the place hasn't changed much over the years, and many of the old regulars from Chinatown still hang out here. I live in Elko, Nevada now but I still take the trek to visit the old crew at least twice a year. I plan on retiring and moving to SF and making this my home bar someday.…

Bings is "The Best". I live in NJ and literally "stumbled" into this bar 6 years ago. Now, I make a pilgrimage here every year - haven't missed yet. Bing's is like a vacuum - it sucks you "in" and before you know it several fun filled hours have passed. Robert, Scooter and Bruce are great - especially doing shots with Robert (and his lovely wife Rose). Great jukebox, Great drinks and always a fun crowd. Oh, did I mention the famous picture of "The Lady"? Youll have to see for yourself. Enjoy!…

To chill and relax. This is a great place to just sit and have some drinks with friends. You don't have to be bothered by obnoxious people trying to hit on you or harrass you. Everyone's friendly. Especially Bruce, the bartender. He may seem stoic but he challenges you to "suck it up!" if he sees that you are babysitting your drink and your friends are drinking like fishes. This is just a great sitting and drinking place!…

A well-known owner/bartender serves locals and tourists at this low-key, North Beach cocktail lounge.. In Short
The walls of this one-room haunt are sparsely decorated with beer signs and drawings, while a jukebox and Golden Tee video game provide further diversions. A triangular bar monopolizes most of the space and can seat up to 24 drinkers, who typically arrive to interact with bartender/owner, Robert, who has been known to challenge regulars to dice or a card game with the loser buying a round of drinks.…
