Hey folks,
Come hang out with me in the Haight. Here's the details:
starting early --8pm since I have to leave early to pick up Stef at the airport (11:05 arrival)
Persian Aub Zam Zam
1633 Haight St
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 861-2545
Of all the gin joints in all the city...
Ok, so that cliche's been beaten to death already, but you have to admit Zam Zam's got some Bogart-caliber retro class (with a similar reverence for traditional cocktails), not to mention the exotic Persian design (and yes, I know Persia != Morocco, but still). In other words, the perfect bar for my tastes. So where's the 5th star? I'll dish that out on the day I actually manage to get a seat here. Because unlike Rick's sprawling Cafe Americain, AZZ is a real postage stamp of a spot. Just that big circular bar, a few tables, and the tiny, dark back room. Of course, for those lucky (or just plain early-arriving) few, the intimate size makes the experience all the more classy.
