Pesce & Bigfoot Lodge
We're headed to Polk St./Gulch this week. There'll be munchings/crunchings at Pesce at 8:30 and then more, (y)umm, liquid goodness down the street at the Lodge at 10:00. Drop me a line if you're interested in the restaurant, just in case we end up with more people than'll fit at the counter/bar. Oh, and the pictures from last week are posted on Helena's website.

In Short
Diners can sit either at the zinc bar or in the mahogany dining room. The menu features the regional seafood cuisine of Venice, Italy--specifically the small-plate dishes known as "cicchetti." Akin to Spanich tapas , the Venetian specialty includes dishes like braised octopus salad with potatoes, celery and garlic-lemon vinaigrette, or seared day boat scallops on arugula with roasted fennel. Full-size seafood dishes are also available.

The Scene
Located on an unassuming block, this offbeat find is like something out of David Lynch's kooky "Twin Peaks." The bumpy walls give the interior a log-cabin feel, with peculiar taxidermy to boot. Patrons sit at stools surrounding a winding wood bar, which boasts turntables and a TV that may be airing kitschy flicks (sometimes augmented with foreign subtitles). Above the bar, fake flames flicker behind miniature trees and chalkboards reveal rotating drink specials. Toward the back, a giant sasquatch stands near a faux fireplace.
The Draw
Adventuresome travelers and natty locals come here for the kitsch. Barmaids sport form-fitting Girl Scout shirts and sling specialty cocktails, while a mostly rock-and-roll soundtrack sets the pace (Beck, White Stripes). Patrons can reminisce while drinking Girl Scout Cookies, which taste like actual Thin Mints.
