The Best Neighborhood Bar in the Castro is The Mix. Come in and throw back some pitchers or cocktails, and pick out your favorite pop songs off the Internet jukebox. Our open-air back patio (with a second bar and bench seating), laid-back attitude, friendly bartenders and unpretentious patron are well known throughout the Castro.
Mix gets hopping during after-work happy hour, and when the patio grill fires up (Friday evenings, weekend afternoons). Menu items include burger and fries for $5, and corn dogs for $2.
We can’t wait to see you!

Day 2 (February 22, 2008) of our San Francisco adventure began more promisingly: bright sunshine greeted us as we made our way by public bus to Washington Square, the heart of San Francisco’s Italian North Beach neighbourhood. We set off to meet Tom Medin, who runs Local Tastes of the City Tours, who was going to take us around this neighbourhood and introduce us to all sorts of interesting culinary treats.
Tom explained that San Francisco is a city for foodies – high quality fresh food plays an enormously important role in the locals’ lives. Shopping habits are very similar to the old European ways: people go shopping on foot in their local neighbourhoods and visit all sorts of specialty stores such as bakeries, pastry shops, vegetable stores, delicatessens, butcher shops and many more. Food is bought fresh almost every day, and a home-cooked leisurely dinner is an important part of the social agenda. Cafés and coffee houses also thrive here.
Our first stop was Caffe Roma where owner Toni Azzolini explained to us the coffee roasting process and had us taste some of his famous capuccino. Coffee is roasted freshly on site and their most popular blend includes four different coffee varieties from different countries, all purchased from small-scale farmers who don’t use pesticides or fertilizer. We then went to XOX Truffles where we saw the truffle-making process in action. The owner Jean-Marc Gorce graciously equipped us with a little paper bag full of some these French delicacies.
After a brief visit to the Saints Peter and Paul Church where Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio had their wedding pictures taken, Liguria Bakery was next where we had a chance to taste some real Italian foccaccia bread, the only type of bread that is made at this bakery.
Up the road we continued to the Italian French bakery where we saw a century old bakery oven in action and got to taste various home-baked goodies. At Palermo Delicatessen we got to sample two different types of olive oil and some real Italian salamis, copa meat and fresh mozzarella. The Victoria Pastry Company welcomed us with a free sampling of fresh canoli and at Caffe Trieste we got to admire the place where Francis Ford Coppola wrote the script for Godfather III. Lots of other local and international celebrities have visited this popular neighbourhood café.
This 3.5 hour culinary tour gave us great insight into the San Francisco mindset and strengthened us for a steep walk to our next destination: Coit Tower.

Lyrics:
Im feeling good (feeling all right tonight )
Im feeling good now,
Its all good in the neighborhood homes Lil Rob
I feel good, I feel all right Crusing through the neighborhood
on a warm summer night I feel good Thats right I feel good now,
Summer nights
Chorus:
Summer days just sitting around but when the sun goes down
Ill be ready to party (Par-ty)
Aint nothing like them summer nights
Keep the top on drop while the girls looking hot,
hit the volo and we just dont stop Party untill the morning light
Aint nothing like them summer nights
Verse I
just kicked it at home, I polished up the chrome
Call the ruca on the phone, let her know Im home alone,
Its Seven thirty and the sun is going down,
Its a Summer night and the fun is going down I picked her up and she looks all dolled up (She looks good)
Sitting passenger in my rag impala (yeah)
I let her know she looks beautiful to me
The world is an ugly place but shes such a site to see
The kind of woman that would put up a fight for me
The kind that wants to spend summer nights with me
The temp was eighty and Im cruising with my lady Playing some Ralphie Pagan,
Ohh Baby Baby I see my home boys and they crusing in their rides (Hey was up homes)
With their ladies sitting by their side People think we look crazy, but I think we look classy
But then again thats only if you ask me
Chorus:
Summer days just sitting around but when the sun goes down
Ill be ready to party (Par-ty)
Aint nothing like them summer nights
Keep the top on drop while the girls looking hot,
hit the volo and we just dont stop Party untill the morning light
Aint nothing like them summer nights
Verse II
My home boys throwing a back yard boogie,
So every body gets together to unwind, relax and have a fun time
The dj is spinning so I grab the mic and be like
“Aint nothing like them summer nights”
The party is packed with beautiful woman
and A gang of the homies that want to get with them
And theyll say anything just to hit em
And its usually a nice summer night when they did em I dont know,
it must be something in the air Cant help but have a good time, because the feeling is there
To some people the feeling is rare
They’re at the pad saying God dam I wish I was there To have a drink, have a tok and hook up
With some one fine but the kind that looks up Got to keep some pisto in the cup Party until the sun comes up or we give up
Chorus:
Summer days just sitting around but when the sun goes down
Ill be ready to party (Par-ty)
Aint nothing like them summer nights
Keep the top on drop while the girls looking hot,
hit the volo and we just dont stop Party untill the morning light
Aint nothing like them summer nights
Verse III
Them summer nights can keep a smile on your face
Gotta try to have a good time with your life otherwise it’s just a waste
Either way Im gonna party just in case Like prince partied like it was 99, in 87, 88
I couldnt ask for no better weather, Im right next to the Pacific to be specific
The candy paint job glows under the moon light
As I close out my summer night and say good night
Its time to put the top up and park it, drop it Unplug the ground, roll up the windows and lock it
Walk into the pad and fall into bed As she lays on my chest to rest her sleepy head
And we do this all night long From dust till dawn But its not quite the same when summer nights are gone
But even when theyre gone, it wont be long Eight more months and once again its on
Chorus:
Summer days just sitting around but when the sun goes down
Ill be ready to party (Par-ty)
Aint nothing like them summer nights
Keep the top on drop while the girls looking hot,
hit the volo and we just dont stop Party untill the morning light
Aint nothing like them summer nights

Here at Windy City, we have tried to recreate the warm, friendly atmosphere of a Chicago neighborhood restaurant. Our specialty Chicago style deep dish pizza is a national classic for pizza lovers and our genuine Texas smokehouse BBQ is the real low and slow way to enjoy an American original.
We round out the menu with other Chicago favorites like Italian Beef Sandwiches and Vienna Hot Dogs. If you like a place with a fun, lively atmosphere and a warm, friendly staff, well then, “Welcome to Windy City!”
