Daisy Does the 49ers: Green Bay Tops SF
Zagat drops their San Francisco Nightlife edition tomorrow. Survey top-spot winners include Auberge du Soleil ("overall appeal"), the St. Regis Lobby Lounge ("décor"), the Four Seasons Bar ("service," "cocktail expertise," "quiet conversation"), Absinthe ("popularity"), El Rio ("queer"), La Trappe ("beer"), Toronado ("dive," "jukeboxes"), Hotel Biron ("wine"), and Specs ("best buy"). Oh and, hey, look: here's the Zagat guide getting a nod on How I Met Your Mother, a show that makes us want to rip off our eyelids and smash our face through a window. Anyway, if we can move away from the press release for a second, we have to admit that the Zagat Nightlife Guide does comes in handy, especially if you're a slave uncovering new local nightspots in which to get trashed. So, invitations to tomorrow's top-drawer Zagat launch party aside, we totally recommend it.

Uh El Rio as "queer"? Geez way to go Zagat. They did get a few others right though...
It's listed as gay bar on Yelp.
Probably a wise move -- keeps the dumbass crowd to a minimum.
Brock: I have to agree with you about How I Met Your Mother. I tried watching the show several times and still did not laugh. Now, I just change the channel after Big Bang Theory ends. Can anyone explain the appeal of HIMYM?
What is this "changing the channel" of which you speak? I simply do not have it on my to-record list.
I tried to watch an episode (I get my TV on-line), cos "Willow" was in it. I had a "Willow" moment minutes into it: "Bored now."
Wow... it kinda makes sense on why people hate on HIMYM. I absolutely CANNOT STAND Big Bang Theory. =P
I like Toronado, but I think it could really only be considered a dive by people who make their "nightlife" choices by using Zagat.
it's a dive like Walzwerk is a hole-in-the-wall.
some people just don't know bar culture and they toss around the word "dive" if a bar doesn't take credit cards.
To be fair, though, there are days when Toronado smells like shit.
El Rio is certainly a queer bar.
El Rio?
More like El QUEERo!
I go to El Rio on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays which are the days when I'm questioning my sexuality.
"a show that makes us want to rip off our eyelids and smash our face through a window"
I understand the eyelids thing-- you don't want to blink, and miss an instant of HIMYM! And the window-- you're watching someone else's TV from outside? Cool. I do that sometimes, like when I'm late getting home to watch the latest amazing episode of HIMYM!
hahah you must be blind deaf and dumb if you seriously don't know that el rio is a queer bar.
