Amanda V. and I somehow ended up here after the Grand National Rodeo at the Cow Palace. The patrons here are seriously sketch (an unusually high concentration of really f'd up teeth, though I'm thinking it must be all that crank.) This place is a mix of old timey Frisco bikers and their old ladies (ha, I love sayin that), seriously questionable folks that have most likely served time, and big gangsta type dudes who try to hustle you over the pool table. Last night they had a seriously rockin' ACDC cover band. Oh yeah, and they have a 'cage'. You know, for all the hot tweaker chicks and biker mama's to get down and show you what their workin' with. However, when we were there the cage was full of a bunch a dudes. Go figure.

If you live in the Excelsior, you know that this is *THE* neighborhood dive bar. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights after 10 and the joint is jumpin' with people of all ages (although it seems to draw more of the Latino hoodrats and hoochies). Karaoke is on Wednesdays @ 8, and it's a great way to be a "celebrity" for a few minutes and get chatted up by the older drunks at the bar. If you like drinking around White trash, guys with teeth missing, drunk lunatics, OG's and crackheads, this is your place!
You ever wonder where all the toothless crack heads and the really over confident losers of the world convene on a saturday nights. Well i found them. They are at Pissed of Pete's at the very edge of the mission.
The thing is these people don't give a fuck about what you think and they are just there to have a good time. Whether they be gangsta steez, old bikers, hookers, toothless wonders, or members of the AC/DC cover band that played there on saturday night; they're just there to rock. I danced with an old biker man.
Check out that shot I got of some freaks dancing in the cage. Yeah that's right there's a dancing cage.
Drinks are strong and cheap. So this place is cool in my book.

Do you remember what Obi wan said to luke on that cliff before they went to that bar, well that bar is Pete's. If you dont fit the crowd stay the fuk out.
This bar has had it's share of fights and some with petes interaction, but hey Like jabba said to the bounty hunter "He's my kind of scum".
When DJ Chilo is spinning the Old School all of his followers reminiscent
of that time period are shakin what their mama gave them as the music brings us back to the past.
Reminds me of a place you'd want to go to get a good ol' fashioned raping or a down-home murder.
If you ever find yourself at the cow palace for whatever reason, GET THE FUCK OUT and then head here for several strong, cheap drinks. oh and after that, shoot yourself in the face because if you're attending anything that's happening at the cow palace (rodeos, gun expeditions, circuses, donkey shows, NAMBLA conventions and virgin rapeapalozzas), you're a real fucking dumb ass. Yeah, that's the best I got. It's 2:30 am. Blow me!

$1.50 cans of Olympia and Hamm's!!
How can you not love this place. I totally recommend going during the day because it is completely dead and you have the jukebox/bar to yourself.
Hit one of the taqueria's out in front and bring your burrito in with you and wash it down with a can of Tecate.
Cool little spot, but parking does suck.

We (Ray S & I and co.) breezed through here on the way to the Dr's for dinner. We got there a shift change and caught our favorite bartender(ess) who had just finished her shift. Back inside for cocktails and a tour of the place. A big place with a really well built old time, nicely detailed wood bar. There are the requisite old time SF photos and holes in the wall and men's room door from a shotgun blast some time in the past. (probably more than a legend as the guy who did it couldn't make it out with us.) Not too busy when we were there, but it could handle a crowd. Pool table in the back.
A spot to hit if I ever take up drinking on that side of town again.

Dudes, I'm totally doing it --Pissed Off Pete's is the new Pop's (get it, dummies?)!! Serious time, team, I am not blowing bubbles! This place really only attracts Excelsiorians and some strays from Bernal, so all you others won't really give a care. Remember when kids would say, "I don't give a care"? Those were the times, pals.
Soooo, P.O.P's. Right. Jon M. met Joanna and Liz and I here one Friday evening and things were already shaking. We sat in the back room which also serves as the dining room, and it looks like some straight up Grandma's basement. The wall houses a nice rendering of the Sutro Baths, back in the day, and a couple of joke chairs are scattered amongst the good ones -- so watch out! We were joined by a couple fervently making out, which is always a solid signifier of a classy place. I mean, they were sitting behind us, but my mind's eye likes to remember them as part of the family.
We befriended Frank, the miscellaneous go-to dude, and Mark, the lovable cook. Both born and raised in the Ex, these dudes provided much needed entertainment and seemed rather amused by our team as well. I like legit neighborhood dudes (uhh, that's only slightly true: legit neighborhood dudes sometimes ruin it all by letting out their true colors and by "true colors" I mean, the hues of the racist, homophobic, sexist rainbow). They tend to find my crew hilarious and out of control, but in a good way. And we take all the encouragement we can get.
Anyway, 27 pitchers later it was suddenly bartime and Liz and I stumbled our way home. Well, we first had to make a quick pit stop at the playground across from our house to get in some last minute, totally epic teeter-tottering action, which caused Liz to barf her brains out all over the g-d place. We laughed. Well, I laughed while she puked, but she laughed immediately after . . . especially after realizing that in just mere hours, some stupid children would be playing like whoa all over Liz's vomit. Awesome.
Okay, are you still with me? No? Go fuck yourselves. Just wanted to add that we went back at 8:00am for brunch and more drinks, which was just totally retarded. Mark served up the food and was a fantastic substitute waitress (apparently, the chick who was scheduled to work never made it because she was too trashed. So good.) and two hours later, Frank rolls in with some eggs. Took that guy TWO HOURS to get some effing eggs! Oh, Frank -- you ain't blowing bubbles.
We're going back on Saint Patrick's Day because, well, duh. Actually, did I mention the Irish motif of P.O.P's? No? Well, lemme apologize for duhhing, y'all. Anyway, this place is Irish and serving up complimentary corned beef on Saturday! Why I am I so amped? I'm a vegetarian who hates the Irish, so yeah, I don't really know?
Perhaps it's the Stella on tap? Or maybe their new addition of PBR on tap? Or maybe because it's 27 seconds away from my house?
Most likely, it's because Liz will probably barf on the playground again, after some more extreme teeter-tottering.

I went myself to check it out because my friends have connections to this place. It's a local neighborhood dive bar with live bands and other entertainments such as the pool table in the back. I knock off one star because this is not my type of crowd. I'm not into the dive bar scene at all, but other people are, and may give this place 5 stars! :)
Hahah!!! I hope my friends don't attacK me!

I have only been once but god dammit that was the best Bloody Mary I've ever had. No, really, THE BEST EVER. And I have had quite a few BM's in my lifetime. I plan to go here every weekend for the rest of my life.
edit: pete really has an anger problem. he fired everyone there that i liked and had a violent outbreak last time i was there. screw this place.

Not a bad little bar. Good jukebox selection and cheap drinks (3.50 well drinks and pints). Burgers looked good. Good place to watch a game, have a drink after work, shoot some pool. Friendly bartender and amiable atmosphere.
Not a lot of choices if you're into high-end booze. As for bourbon, they had Woodford Reserve. I ordered one and the bartender looked at me like "what the hell is that?"
They had Patron and Johnny Walker Black, and that was about it. Decent beer selection though. 6 beers on tap, including Stella and Fat Tire. The Fat Tire tasted a little skunked though... Probably been sitting there awhile.
Update:
Had to bump Pete's up to 5 stars after going there for breakfast this morning. Just had 2 delicious pork chops with fresh apples and plum sauce, 3 eggs, a generous slab of hash browns, fruit, and toast for $8.95. A huge value for the quality and quantity of food.
The wife had eggs benedict which was an equal value. Thick ass slab of ham, bacon, and spicy potatoes on the side.
The cook, Mark, seemed like a real nice guy who puts a lot of care into his food. Our waitress was kind of a space cadet, but the food definitely warranted 5 stars. Decent, fresh coffee to boot. Sad to say, but I don't think I'm going back to the Dr's for breakfast any time soon.
Update: No more food, apparently, so POP's plummets 3 stars. The food was really the only thing that kept me going back to this place.

We've only been here once, but we live nearby and will probably become regulars pretty fast. After a few more trips, I'll update my review to include more than just the following:
I can never remember the name of this place so I always call it "The Angry Irishman".

Totally Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Went to Pissed Off Pete's for their one year anniversary and was totally impressed.
I look forward to going there again for the Jerry Day 2007 Pre-Party on the 3rd.
I first visited this place because it offered Speakeasy Big Daddy on tap and because it is in my neighborhood. Emphasis is on "Dive". I made friends with Mark, the cook, but he is no longer there, having been evicted by Pete over a rent dispute. Not sure what is going on food-wise now. Anyway, place is big on "San Francisco Born and Bred" but denizens aren't particularly good examples as to why that would be a good thing.
pissed off pete's is a good dive bar. they have great HUGE cheeseburgers for $6.75
