Le Bar

There are very few bars in San Francisco that are decked to the nines like this one is.  The bar is swathed from floor to ceiling in decorations more befitting a Dia De Los Muertos celebration than a random bar in Silver Lake.  Big mariachi hats, straw sombreros, tissue paper skull banners, and risque and beautiful pictures of Mexican women on the walls.  The bar is lined with big, surprisingly cozy tufted black vinyl banquettes, and the actual bar itself is a thatched hut.  

They serve Cheladas (like a Mexican Bloody Mary - with beer vs. vodka) and the bartender even made them fresh for us when he saw my friend's face as he tried to serve her Chelada in a can.  The vibe is mellow, the music is punk rock, and the drinks are strong.  

Cinco estrellas!

A good spot.
