B is for Back to the Basics

Hey kiddies, we've got one more bar on the list from last year till we bust out and break the mold! Hold on to your butts and bring yo-selves down to Bus Stop this Wednesday!

We're gonna shake that mother down in the Marina like we used to, and see where the night takes us from there. Grab your friends and coworkers and throw a few back with us.

As a heads up, we're doing a special edition Alpha Bar, and busting up the order of the alphabet for charity. That's right on November 12th, we're hitting up Fish Bowl to throw down some deniro for the Daly City Rec Center and their after school programs. We've got some friends behind the bar, and all the CASH TIPS we send their way will go to help keep kids off the streets and outta trouble.

But never fear, we come on STRONG when we return to the regular way we roll by hitting up Double Dutch & Elbo Room out in the Mission in one fearsome event! You won't wanna miss this kids! It just gonna be bigger, badder and a whole lot more blazin' this time around!

A is for ALL NEW!

That's right A-bar is in the works as Alpha Bar gets ready to start up yet again (all fresh & new) for 2008!

Stick around cause part deux is gonna be a doozy!

Want to volunteer to take pictures for Alpha Bar? All you need is a digital camera, a willingness to drink/party and a Picasa web album account! Comment on this post if you're interested!

BREAKING NEWS: Our first event is going to be on October 1st at the tried and true AMANTE in North Beach! We're starting off this year where it all began so long ago (yet it seems like yesterday). If you've been waiting, hoping and praying for Alpha Bar to become another staple in your weekly plans, please yearn no more, cause we're back baby!

Throw on your drinking hats, grab some friends and plan on being in attendance at Amante's around 7PM or thereafter in North Beach next Wednesday!

N is for NorthStar

Ok...a slow to start up crowd, but by 9pm we were jam-packed and a good number of people including the regulars were there to ring in making it to N Bar. Sabrina's boyfriend of course was on hand with cheestakes and refils on beer -- enough to make anyones stomach not right the next day -- gotta love Chris. I believe onion rings. Dresda, well she was in 100% Dresda form dropping comments that I am sure would make any mother reach for her soap bar -- but that is why she is a great member of the crawl. We are hitting up Ottimista next week for a more sophisticated tour of events. See you there 7pm on Union Street! (they have a great menu too, so if you did not have dinner, you won't be disappointed)

L for LaBarca and M for Mauna Loa

Ok...so I am slow to post...but are you kidding me. We had a trickle effect for the first few hours, but by 10 pm the place was packed...I mean packed...it was so much fun that Tooba lost her wallet..long story ;)

This was def. the gear up for the Mauna loa...which was also packed. So nice to see the joint get filled up with what has become a large group of Alphabar Regulars, complete with Sabrinas's husband -- and a few newbies ... see you in a week at NORTHSTAR

K is for Krazy Flip Cup at Kezar's!!!

This was an intimate crowd where we got to know each other A LOT better, especially our little “bull frog” with his motor boating and awesome dance skills! There were many rounds of flip cup played, more than I can remember, but then again, isn’t that the point? And there was even eye black worn in true Morningwood fashion, as it was Kezar’s-our official flip cup home. We are at La Barca next week for some Margaritas…see you there.

J is for Jade

So this week we hit up Jade bar in Hayes Valley. This was a cool bar and we all got to know each other a little bit better due to the size of the place. I hear the best feature of Jade was the one way mirror in the men’s room which looked out onto the bar. Unfortunately, I did not get the chance to see this, but it did lead to the quote of the evening…”You have to take me in there so I can check it out.” All the regulars showed up and even some first timers. I gave away another 20 cards (well, I should say Matt did). All in all, it was a fun night and a couple of us didn’t get enough and moved on to Comet Club for some dancing (which unfortunately included some “ho down” moves). See you in two weeks at Kezar’s!!!

J is for Jade Bar...on gough..

OK folks...we are hitting J Bar tomorrow January 16! 7:30...grab your friends and get there...this is a new one for me and hopefully for a bunch of you -- we hear it is a great happy hour place...so lets get happy (by throwing back a few) ...see you then

I was for Irish Bank

So the loyal Alphabarians made it out...I was even touched to see Andy without his "wife" Sabrina....Scott and Cat who have both been to every event even made it out. We started a little earlier than normal but still had a solid crew of about 40 people to drink a few beers and get a little silly. 2 weeks we are are J Bar...time to kick it into high gear. So you know the "L" bar will fall thr night before Valentines day...so go ahead and mark your calendars, we'll be having a special event that should get a little silly...will it be tarts and vicars? lingerie party? lovin' at the lusty lady party? who knows but I am sure it will be fun. Stay Tuned...pictures will be posted shortly.

"I" is for Irish Bank...Irish Car Bombs

Ok Guys and Gals...we are hitting up Irish Bank tonight (downtown)....we are heading there at 5:30 we thought people working downtown might want a reason to leave their desks a little early...get there when you can, we'll leave the light on for you...we'll be there late.

See you tonight!

H was for Horeshoe

The Horseshoe was outta control PACKED...it must be that last wednesday before everyone left town to make SF a ghost town...but we pulled a serious crowd, there was standing room only...and when i mean standing room you had to stand on the pool tables if you wanted in. Everyone was in holiday spirit and certainly rang up nice bar tabs. Looking forward to "I" bar on Jan 2!

"G"eeezzzz I Slacked

Sorry guys and gals...super busy time at work. G Bar at greens was pretty fun...I got there and only Jeremiah and Charles were sitting at the bar...but within an hour...everyone sacked up and hit Greens and we had our usual crowd of about 70 people. Of course some new faces emerged--as well as the tried and true loyal Alphabarians.....
