Love the people you meet in this place

by shoegal84

This is one of my favorite bars in North Beach. Amazing too because isn't normally my kind of place. But it's small, there is a pool table (although I don't play), they have Frank and Dean and the juke box, a huge autographed Sinatra poster in the back (which I envy!!) and the people you meet here are let's just say...friends of ours...no no, very interesting.

Not pretentious at all. Drinks aren't that cheap considering, but they're about average. Just a great place to bring some friends and hang out after work.

Shshh...they also let you bring in pizza from Golden Boy next door which coincidentally is my fav. pizza in the city!!

neighborhood bar

by joelchico

this made our trip.we came to have the pizza served next door[which you shouldnt miss]we looked in Gino & carlo and saw sports on a big screen..3 seattle guys looking for a place to watch sports and drink. big screens and real drinks made by 'the man' Ron. a 'real' place with 2 small pool tables in back, everyone seemed to know each other.and they included us in the fun.sitting by the door watching all sorts of poeple come and go. it was the neighborhood bar. we happened to get tickets for the thursday lunch. wow...there was no experience quite like that..salad,bread, red wine,pasta and lamb/roasted chicken main course. fun laughs and comeraderie.talking with people that have been coming to thursdays for years.move the pool tables away, set up the tables and eat.. We will return on our next trip to North Beach SF

• Pros: well priced /well poured drinks/pizza shop next door/easy to get a cab/multiple tvs
