Day 7 Recap: 111 Minna

it seems that 7B7N 2010 closed out in such raucous fashion that neither text nor images were able to judiciously capture the '90s night experience at 111 Minna. for those who were there, you know what i'm talking about. for those who weren't, you should assume the worst...

Day 6 Recap: The Taco Shop at Underdogs

Award winning 7b7n regular Clare enjoyed a well-deserved cupcake last night, apparently bestowed by strangers for cutest dress. Nice work!

Others enjoyed beer buckets, baby divination and taco noshing.

Hard to not have fun when Kasia is picking up the whole tab. Hey thanks!

Full pics here.

Day 5 Recap: Koko Cocktails

Despite a frightening bracelet shortage, harmony prevailed at Koko Cocktails in the TL. Fortunately there was much more to do there than just take photos of drinks over and over again. For real!

Luckily we ultimately discovered the bracelets' secret hiding place. Order restored!

Full pics here!

Day 4 Recap: Smuggler's Cove

Smuggler's Cove was all kinds of awesome. Not only was the three-level interior about the size of a ship's cabin, it looked the part too - or at least the part of the sort of ship that's covered in 1000 pounds of wicker and has barrels and glowing puffer fish hanging from the ceiling.

The incredibly friendly staff were mega-talented at whipping up the freshest tropical drinks. Enough superlatives? Not even.

Biggest surprise of the night? How 'bout a visitor from Switzerland?

Day 3 Recap: Tunnel Top

Despite losing significant numbers early on to catch the night's episode of Lost, Tunnel Top was a fab way to keep the energy going on a Tuesday night.

The well stocked bar apparently inspires motivational graffiti, rapt attention and insatiable hunger.

We nearly called Gizmodo about an intriguing find...

And ... huh?

Full pics here.

Day 2 Recap: Fat Angel

Fat Angel... a downright cozy little spot right off Fillmore, nestled between a Starbucks and... (thinking, thinking...) something else. Good beer selection, tasty wines and (we hear) yummy sliders as well as (we know) nicely executed flatbreads.

Also... watch for the trick door or you might end up walking straight into a wall instead of the entrance... like... some people I know.

Pics here!

Day 1: The Ramp Photos

The San Francisco weather gods and goddesses smiled on 7b7n today... The sun + water + salty sea snacks were enjoyed by city newcomers, parental units and amorous cyclists alike. Full photos here.

Stop by Fat Angel tomorrow (start time: 7:30 pm) to keep it going. Yo ho!

7B7N - 2010 is here!

OK, kids. get out your Trapper Keepers and #2 pencils. it's time to mark down the wheres and whens of our 4th annual 7 Bars in 7 Nights festivities!

should the word play contained within the e-invite have been too much to take in, we've also listed the 7B7N particulars below. we'd prefer that you let the week's libations wreak havoc on your brain, not our invite...

see you at 7:30 pm...unless otherwise noted, of course. check back here for daily updates, complete with photos from the previous evening!

Sunday, May 2 - The Ramp (3:00 pm)

Monday, May 3 - Fat Angel

Tuesday, May 4 - Tunnel Top

Wednesday, May 5 - Smuggler's Cove*

Thursday, May 6 - KoKo Cocktails

Friday, May 7 - The Taco Shop at Underdogs

Saturday, May 8 - 111 Minna Gallery** (9:00 pm)

*Smuggler's Cove has limited capacity, therefore there's a chance folks will have to wait in line. See the FAQs on their website for more information.

**Saturday, May 8 is "We love the '90s" night at 111 Minna Gallery. There's a $10 cover...but for a night of 90s dance floor classics and one hit blunders, we think that's a steal of a deal.

One for the archives

Our 2009 invite is now officially being put out to pasture, but it will live forever here in this post for all the 7b7n historians out there. Let's raise a final glass to 2009... and get pumped for an epic 2010!!
