What does the 18^th President of the US and a night out in North Beach have in common?  They’re both money, my friends.  With a stinker on Monday night football featuring Brady Quinn and the high powered Cleveland Browns offense vs. Ray “I scare my own children” Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens, the boys of Justins Live elected to take the show to a place near and dear to our hearts, Grant and Green.

Grant and Green is located at the intersection of the streets that define it.  A safe haven for those serious about cheap liquor and reasonably priced brews, Grant and Green has the dive bar feel that takes a guy back to his central Wisconsin roots and would make the cast from Road House blush.

Its smaller live music venue makes the bar that much more authentic.  Acts range from the Caribbean Marley-esk vibe to your more traditional R&R.  What’s more, the bar is located a single block from the infamous North Beach pizza–an absolute requirement after three or four Blue Moons.

Summary:

In all honesty, one really can’t go wrong with any of the bars on the stretch that is Grant Ave.  However, Grant and Green is a head above the rest as a result of the quality of its music venue.  If the citizens of the US were willing to spend two terms on GWB, I think the people of SF owe it to themselves to spend one night with North Beach’s own Green president.
