Silver Spur

If you've not been here in a couple of years you owe it to yourself to give the Spur another try.  Julie, the new owner, is awesome and has taken this bar a long way.  Now don't get me wrong, it's still a proper dive with many of the same old regulars, but now there's also a younger crowd hanging out here, beers on tap, and some of the best bar staff in town.  A great place to catch a Giants game, or unwind after a long day of work.

really nothing needs to be said, bartenders pour great drinks, the regulars are nice, pool table, jukebox, 4 beers on tap, Sasha Brown, dice, smoking out back.  If you're a jerk the regulars will make sure you know that you're out of line...even the Irish are on their best behaviour...cowbells during the Giants games...

As dive bar as you can get, but when the Taco Shop and Chug Pub are full, where else can you go? Service is super speedy, as others have already noted, but that's also because the beer selection is pretty small. Their happy hour kicks butt, and the pool table is generally open (you'll need quarters). The clientele is generally of the older, more jaded variety, but they'll entertain your bright-eyed youth before scoffing at you. Also, the drinks are pretty cheap for the area. There are multiple tvs, but only one bathroom for everyone, so be aware of that before you get tanked and have to wait in line for the restroom.
