The Tenderloin Bar Experiment

Heather Cummings is the author of the infamous blog, The San Francisco Bar Experiment, in which she documents her attempt to patronize every watering hole in San Francisco. Early in her adventure, she realized The Tenderloin is the heart of San Francisco's drinking culture, with bars ranging from dank and dirty taverns to swanky weekend hot-spots. Determined to have every possible kind of Tenderloin drinking experience, she walked into each bar in the district and named her poison. The Tenderloin Bar Experiment is both a record of her accomplishment and a love letter meant to inspire more people to give this misunderstood neighborhood a chance. Listed in no particular order, the bars in this book are instead arranged so as to lead the reader to undiscovered bars through happenstance and luck. Open any page, and let your own experiment begin.
