Peacheaz Brown: The place is under new management...food is not as good.
M K: Been coming here for 20 years with my dad. It's not nearly the dive it once was, but every meal still starts off with fresh French bread and a shot of clam juice.

Cocktail Bar · Duboce Triangle · 116 tips and reviews
Bommy: Great spot for post-work happy hour. Dog-friendly!!
Eater: The back bar is whiskey-centric here, but the bartenders are open-minded enough to mix up anything you want. The designer did a solid job, making the bar feel like the belly of a WWII war ship.
Andrew Cerda: Built of reclaimed WWII stuffs, this bar boasts a bunker of beers to enjoy with your bros, brah. When you're done with round 1, head around the corner(s) to Blackbird for more mixologyness!
