Bernal Heights watering hole is beloved for its no-frill cocktails, floral beers, and pinball machines, some on loan from The Pacific Pinball Museum. Polynesian-themed morsels such as shaved ice and topping-laden tater-tots mean the place will satiate both your ravenous stomach and your inner child.

AKA as Lyft. The closest one is right across from the house. Helmets are NOT included and keep in mind that passes include unlimited 30-minute rides. If you keep a bike out for longer than 30 minutes at a time, it's an extra $3 per additional 15 minutes. Yikes! So make sure to dock your bikes.
