February 04, 2004 - Nighthawks will feel right at home at this Edward Hopper-esque diner complete with jukebox, table and counter seating...

I'm not sure about the drink selections there (as it is a diner) so if people need more buzz than anchor steam or milk shakes can provide, we may relocate after a bit to Zeitgeist. Please call me: 408-480-1933. :D

Cheers cheers,

Hey folks!

Paul's visiting so we're going to his requested:
Latin American Club!
3286 22ND St
San Francisco, CA 94110-3033 map
Phone: (415) 647-2732

The Scene
This is not a club, nor is it filled with Latin Americans. It's a simple space--a large, rectangular room with a wood bar and places to sit. It's filled with 1950s-era Formica and chrome tables and a popular front pool table. The back wall is decorated with kitsch collections like cuckoo clocks, mailboxes and piƱatas, but most of this high-ceilinged space is unadorned.

The Draw
The lack of context doesn't deter indie-rock hipsters from gathering here in groups. The crowd comes and goes throughout the night, so it is possible to land table seating. The few singles--this is no pickup scene--can stick it out at the barstools, while lucky couples may be able to score one of the coveted front booths that offer prime people-watching on busy 22nd Street.
