Sliderbar in the Castro has since closed down. This location must be cursed because it’s been 3 or 4 different restaurants in the 14 years since I’ve lived in San Francisco. These sliders were good, but didn’t blow my mind. I do like their selection though.

Great White beer, Lost Coast Brewery. $5

Smoked chicken nuggets – Southpaw BBQ

Smoked chicken nuggets - Southpaw BBQ
Happy hour $7
Southpaw BBQ, San Francisco CA

These were great! They were very smoky and tender, and they gave you a good amount of them. The dipping sauce served with it was yummy but I also tried all their other sauce too. I will definitely come back here and to try their other meats.

Fried calamari – Jersey

Fried calamari - Jersey
Jalapeno, lemon, marinara. $10
Jersey, San Francisco CA

These were really limp, soggy and greasy. I did not like them at all. The grease just kind of lingered and the thick and rich aioli just made it worse. And they never provided the marinara sauce that was listed on the menu. That would have at least helped with the greasiness.

Fort Point KSA Kolsch - Jersey
Fort Point KSA Kolsch. Happy hour $3

Apollonia pizza – Una Pizza Napoletana

Apollonia pizza - Una Pizza Napoletana
Eggs, salame, parmiggiano reggiano, buffalo mozzarella, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, fresh basil, black pepper, sea salt. $25
Una Pizza Napoletana, San Francisco CA

Um, I thought I’d like this pizza more because of all the hype. I mean, it was good but I guess it just wasn’t my style. The crust was too chewy and almost felt undercooked. I like the combination of toppings in the Apollonia though.

Menabrea Blonde Lager - Una Pizza Napoletana
Menabrea Blonde Lager. $8

Roasted potato pizza – Sliver Pizzeria

Roasted potato pizza - Sliver Pizzeria
Roasted onion, mozzarella, Canadian cheddar cheese, oregano, parsley, thyme, olive oil. Slice $3
Sliver Pizzeria, Berkeley CA

Mmm, the pizza here was really good! The crust was thin and had a great texture and all the ingredients tasted great, and definitely worth the three dollar price tag!
