Kilowatt
Opening in 1994 in a San Francisco Firehouse as a Local Hangout & Music Venue, Kilowatt found it’s way to being a neighborhood bar. After 3 years as a punk/rock/indie showcase, and the original home to San Francisco’s annual Noise Pop Festival, the hard decision was made to convert the stage into a Darts area given the changing demographics of the neighborhood and its clientele, adding televisions for local sports, pool tables and more…

Specs Bar
Specs’ Twelve Adler Museum Cafe, otherwise known as Specs’, was opened in 1968 by Richard “Specs” Simmons. Originally from Roxbury, Boston, Simmons was a sheet metal worker by trade and a union man involved in progressive local politics.
Edinburgh Castle
The Castle was opened on New Year’s in 1960 — in what was most likely an old auto garage — by a pair of Scotsmen named Douglas Kirk and Robert Johnson. The bar took its theme very seriously. Actual medieval weapons adorned the walls, which must’ve been bolted down tightly because anyone who’s spent enough time in bars knows that booze and battle axes are a dangerous combination.
Pops Bar
Rumor has it that Pops ran the Clubhouse, during Prohibition where alcohol was served but the exact date can’t be confirmed. However we do have confirmation of him as a bootlegger.
