I was enjoying a free piece of cake at a post-performance reception recently when my younger brother (just on the cusp of celebrating the big 2-1) remarked that “man, I love free food! But once I graduate college, I guess I’ll have to buy my own.”
One of our older companions reassured him, saying “you can enjoy free food and drinks well into your thirties, trust me.” Little brother is not quite old enough to (legally) appreciate free alcohol, so when my colleague Shannon B. passed along the link to MyOpenBar, I figured I would pass it along to all of you loyal blog readers and intrepid travelers.
With editions for San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles, MyOpenBar seeks out the best open bars from coast to coast and posts the details seven days a week, so you’ll never have to shell out for beer or cocktails again. Unless, of course, you want to. Cheers!

My dad and I were looking for an inexpensive place we hadn’t tried yet, so we headed to North Beach. The corner of Columbus and Broadway alone offers a wide variety of unique restaurants in a charming SF neighborhood. Each restaurant oozes warmth, charm, and a unique take on the flavors of the area: Italian and Asian.
Neighboring North Beach classics, such as The Stinking Rose and The Steps of Rome is this hidden gem. Zagat rated The House extremely high for its food and service. And it’s no wonder why: when I asked if I could sort of combine two dishes I couldn’t choose between by getting the soy glazed salmon in the miso soup instead of the bonito sake broth, the waiter responded with not only yes, but “that sounds even better than the original.” The salmon was cooked to perfection and blended deliciously with the spicy miso soup broth that was both comforting and surprising in its kick of spicy flavor.
