Time to Get into the Spirit!

Southside Spirit House 575 Howard St, San Francisco, CA, United States

Join the sfAMA at Southside Spirit House and try something you’ve never had before. How about their Absinthe Punch for example? Absinthe has a legendary past and is cloaked in a bit of mystery. Part of its allure was due to its aphrodisiac and narcotic properties. It was once popular with authors such as Baudelaire and artist Van Gogh who claimed it helped stimulate their creativity. Eventually, in 1912 absinthe was banned in America and later in France in 1915. What we see as absinthe now is not quite what it was back at the turn of the 20th century. But it still might be fun to try. If absinthe isn’t your thing, don’t worry, there will be plenty of beer, wine and other libations to suit your fancy. Where: Southside Spirit House, 575 Howard Street (between 1st and 2nd), San Francisco When: Friday, February 28, 2014, 5:30pm to 8:30pm Cost: $10 for sfAMA members / $15 for non-members Cash Bar... read more →
