Sometimes you just have to leave a bar alone. I don't mean you need to avoid it. I mean some dive bars are not meant to be customized for a more upscale hipster quotient. This one is called Pop's for a reason, and judging from the regulars, it's a dependable watering hole for the local workers who aren't ready to go home. They were pretty much epoxied on their stools for the night.I give Pop credit for having a menu on the wall with standard cocktails identified as Pop's this and Pop's that. I gravitated to the $12 Pop's Sunrise because I was in the mood for a tequila sunrise. Sure enough, that's what it was (photo: https://yelp.to/sM17afdtfo). I might return for Pop's Paloma or Pop's Morning Coffee as long as the regulars can give up a seat for me. As I stood for a bit, I think it would be a 50/50 proposition the next time.DRINKS - 3 stars...a sunrise is a sunrise AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...a dive with character SERVICE - 3 stars...fine when the bartender was aroundTOTAL - 3 stars...gotta trust a place called Pop'sRELATED - Exploring the Mission?

After not stepping foot into a dive bar since COVID, I forgot to keep things very simple (i.e. shots): Sweet Bartender: "Hi!"Me: "Hi, how are you?"Sweet Bartender: "Good, what can I get you?"Me: "Can I get a Vesper please made with whatever top-shelf liquor you have?"Sweet Bartender: "Umm, what is that?"Me: "Gin, vodka, and a splash of lillet blanc."Sweet Bartender: "Equal parts of each (gin and vodka)?"Me: "Sure...and I'll actually take two so you don't have to make another later."(Not trying to be difficult here.)*FIRST SIP**HAIR RAISES*WHOOOA, this is one ROUGH cocktail but you def get your monies worth and more: https://bit.ly/3plN8b0...Walked over to Tio Chilio's afterwards and polished off a basket of chips & salsa, a bowl of menudo, and a side of quesabirria taco for good measure.Then, a slice of cheese pizza at The Pizza Shop. Ok, also half a white spinach pizza cuz ya girl needs her greens.And, ended the night looking for Anthony...I mean cookies, at Anthony's Cookie's.I'm glad I gave myself a 2 drink max, otherwise, who knows where I would have ended up next...knocking on the ex's door?Anyways, Pop's isn't messin' around when it comes to getting your drank on (though, I'm sticking with shots next time)....How serious are they?They open at 6 AM.Everyday.Nuff said.OTHER NOTES:* Vax card and ID checked when ordering drinks at the bar.* Friendly masked staff.* Jello shots and pouch cocktails to-go available. * Chill vibe with locals. DJ spinning on certain nights; Cuffin Fridays (R&B).* Dog-friendly inside and out.* Four tables in the parklet. No heat lamps so dress warm.* Cc's accepted with $15 minimum.

Easily, the trashiest and most racist bar I have ever experienced in the mission district. Had a date a couple weeks ago just for fun just trying to get out and be social and was totally disrespected as my day was Mongolian and they started calling her the word and we're incredibly disrespectful Ben a patient there for 25 years, but will never ever go back. Don't support this awful trash.

Would you consider serving cocktails in pint glasses during the day? Every event should be a fundraiser. There should be raffles and prizes. If u make every event have a goal to help the needy u will make more. If Every performer promises to donate a third of proceeds they will make quadruple
