San Francisco CA
Today was one of the days that we used our newly found ADVENTUROUS spirit. Yesterday we were riding the 38 Geary to pick up some ingredients from a Korean market to make some stuff from a Korean cookbook we got from the Library when we saw a sign that said, "Live Bluegrass Music Sunday". The sign was in front of a place called
Buckshot Restaurant, Bar and Gameroom. It looked interesting riding by so Saturday night we decided that we would return on Sunday after doing a bit of internet research. This isn't something that we would have done before we moved to San Francisco but now we're ADVENTUROUS! We decided to get their a bit early so that we could ensure a seat.
So today we hopped the bus and rode out. It was empty and this alone would have caused us to pause and rethink our plan in the past but not now that we are ADVENTUROUS. We boldly walked in and walked to the back of the place to order food. I ordered the Burger and Donna got the Old Fashioned Breakfast. While the hip looking heavily tattooed young man fired up the kitchen we took our seat at the bar and ordered Bloody Marys. The only other people there were the bartender, the cook, one of the musicians from the blue grass band and his girlfriend. Our Bloody Marys were great and the food was fantastic. There are quite a few other things on the menu that we want to try so we will be going back. We got to talking to the Bar Tender, the Musician's girlfriend and a second bartender while the band set up. It was really fun to have an entire bar and band and kitchen serving the 2 of us. Halfway through the set other people starting coming in but it wasn't near as packed as it should have been. The food was great, the drinks were cheap and the music was great. We will be going back soon. Why don't you join us?
The Devo Mannequin caught my attention right away
They had a ton of bottled beers and 3 beers on tap. The tap beers were Stella, Blue Moon and Sierra Nevada and they were 3 bucks. If that is too expensive for you, you can pick up a Tecate or a Pabst for 2 bucks.
The Gameroom part had shuffle board, pool, a few arcade games (including Tron and Gauntlet 2) and Skee-Ball.
Here is the Skee-Ball which they called Brew Skee-Ball. Get it?
Here is my burger. The fork coming in from the left is connected to Donna's thieving hand!
They also have a sweet Melt The Ice game in the bathroom
Here is a shot of the Tron. It's the first Tron in history to be watched over by an Antelope.
The Blue Grass Band was really great. They played 2 sets.
Part way through the performance the place attracted a few more people. There was even a family of about 6 (with kids and all) that showed up for lunch. Here is one of the kids blasting away big game.
On the way out I snapped a photo of the front door.
