30th on 30th is going off TONIGHT!!


This event looks like a total blast for foodies, beer lovers and those who need a fun event that is easy on the wallet. 30th Avenue which runs through some of the best beer houses and restaurant areas is serving up their best to patrons all night long. Ride your back or take line 2 on the bus to experience what North Park to South Park has to offer!!

This month's 30th on 30th is on Tuesday, March 30th

Here's the program: on the 30th of each month, a bunch of restaurants and bars on and near 30th Street offer specials, such as a feature appetizer for $2. This makes it easy for you to go on a restaurant crawl and check out all the amazing places on the 30th Street Corridor. Most places start their specials between 5 and 6pm. So come on out.

The following places have told me they're doing something, I don't always know what yet. Some highlights this month: Urban Solace is rocking it with a patio station and complimentary appetizers just for the event; Alchemy is dim sum; Splash is half price wine all nite (I will be there, no doubt).

Alchemy: Our tour to the great neighborhoods of the world continues with a visit to China Town San Francisco: $2 Tasting pour of Plum Wine, $2 Beef and Ginger Gyoza ~ scallion / black sesame / soy mirin sauce, $3 Cantonese Spring Roll ~ pork / shrimp / mushroom / cabbage / spicy mango dipping sauce

The Station: $5 sautéed chicken or beef skewers.

The Whistle Stop: Extended happy hour prices: $1 off all drinks

Sea Rocket Bistro: $2 tapas menu, plus a bottle of Ballst Point Calico Ale & spicy ground beef Sloppy Joe for $8

Bluefoot Bar: $2 pints of Trumer Pils

Mosaic: $2 tastes of wine or local beer, and $2 tastes of pizza (2 slices for $2) all night.

The Linkery: $2 small plate of grassfed beef short rib, with an optional $2 half pour of 30th Street Pale Ale. Also, $2 half pour of Linkery's own blends of red or white wine.

Bar Pink: $3 Sneaky Tikis

True North: $3 shots: Washington Apples, Sex on the beach, Kamikaze, or Alabama Slammer

Urban Solace: (and I quote Matt) "We are going to do the patio station setup this month with a special cocktail 'Cherry Cola' Red Stag Cherry Bourbon, House Brandied Cherry Juice, Classic Cola $4.00; our Vin de Solace Wine tastes $2.00; and free tastes of special appetizers like Pork Belly Pie and Duck Tostadas with House Made Honeyed Ricotta Cheese -- 5:30 to 9:00 pm on the patio at Urban Solace"

Heaven Sent Desserts: 30th Street Parfait for $3.25

West Coast Tavern: 30 cent wings!

Splash Wine Lounge: $2 white crunchy crostinis and, um, HALF PRICE WINE ALL NITE.

Toronado: $3 pints of 30th Street Pale Ale; $2 Hot Dogs / Veggie Dogs

Ritual Tavern: 30th Street Tacos (Niman Ranch Carnitas and Salsa Verde) 2 for $5, Alpine Nelson Rye IPA on cask

Sicilian Thing: $1 pizza slices from 8pm to close


Crazee Burger: $2.00 off any regularly priced burger or sandwich (1 per person)

Jayne's Gastropub: $5 Niman ranch ground beef sliders, with Vermont cheddar, house-pickled onions and garlic aioli. $3 Trumer Pilsner and Guinness.

Cantina Mayahuel: $2 street tacos and mini tortas, $2 beers, $5 select premium tequilas & margaritas.

The 30th Street Corridor, I propose, is the best culinary street in the nation. If I'm wrong about that (and I'm open to hearing about other streets), at the very least it's really fun and delicious and has hundreds of taps of local craft beer. See you on 30th!
