No. It's been a long time since I was a frequent patron of a bar. In my early 20s, there was a neighborhood pub that my boyfriend and I went to several times a week as they had dancing after 9 PM and the bartender got to know us pretty well.
I was never a "frequent" bar goer but I have been in bars with a date or a mate. My FAVORITE bar by far? The "no-name" bar in San Francisco. It was behind an unmarked door. No kidding. People would pass right on by not knowing what was behind it. It was dark and cool in both temperature and ambiance. My date and I had dinner at what was then a very elegant restaurant. I think it was "The Blue Fox" or something like that. I was in my 20's and I don't really remember exactly. Then we went to the NO NAME BAR and I believe either had a beer or an after-dinner drink. Oh maybe the bar was in Sausalito the town just over the Golden Gate Bridge. It could have been there. It capped the end to a perfect day! So long ago and far away and yet I can recall it vividly in my mind's eye! Thank you for your reply L! :)
We used to meet up with a bunch of friends when we went to that bar. It was called Churchill's Plum. Always had a good time and I loved that they had live music on the weekends and sometimes, even during the week.
That bar's name needs some 'splainin'! Churchill's PLUM? As in plums? Thank you for your reply L! :)

It was kind of a take-off on a very well-attended bar in Manhattan called "Churchill's Pub." Had that old-time English pub feel with the dark wood bar and tables and the timbered ceiling. They had live music on the weekends and it was really nice.
