Two Toronados
You need to go to SF toronado not during a beer week. You know as well as I do that beer weeks bring out a different crowd and aura from any establishment. I went to the SF toronado for the first time over Christmas times on a weekday and it was amazing. Not too crowded but still with plenty o patrons a drinking. THe bar keep took shots of i forget what with other patrons but they have it a SD toronado and it tastes like a craft store. And being from out of town me and my buddy were able to strike some good convo with the guy behind the bar and even got a few drinks on the house. The sad thing now is that San Diego toronado gets super crowded on weekends and they have you order in a line as opposed to along the bar now, which is kind of annoying. And while the bartenders are overall friendly there have been moments where i was given less than an amicable response to a question about a beer i had never tried. In the end, i like the SF one more only because of the grimy original feel i left with, and while i still love walking a few blocks to the SD toronado, it definitely has a different vibe.— March 24, 2012 3:17 p.m.
