The bottom of Potrero Hill tops the list for rocking with punk legends the Avengers, Pansy Division and Nerf Herder, and newcomers worth checking out for their names alone (Playboy Manbaby, the Regrettes, Sorority Noise). The patio is covered in handbills and ruled by a cat that prefers music to people – totally punk rock. Anchor Steam on tap; cash-only bar.
