The Page

San Francisco has the reputation of being outrageously expensive, from the rent to the cocktails that involve pawning off your nice shoes if you want to afford another, but that’s why The Page exists. This place on Divisadero has elements from every kind of great dive bar, from the pool table to the books and magazines that haven’t been updated in years to the obligatory paintings of ships and stuffed animal heads on the walls. They call themselves a sports bar, but there are only two small TVs on either side of the bar—so you can talk about sports more than you can watch them.
