Se trata de Haight-Ashbury, por lo que no hay mejor música para flotar en el aire mientras se toma unas cervezas artesanales que los Grateful Dead, en este lugar que era conocido en los años 60 como el Drug Store. La remodelación ha logrado que el ambiente luzca menos psicodélico, aunque hay un exuberante mural en la pared, y Jerry y los chicos siempre están en la lista de temas que lo llevan a uno de vuelta al Summer of Love (Festival Verano del Amor). Eso crea un ambiente suave que invita a comer enormes sandwiches, platos de salchichas, tazones de sopa sustanciosa y bocadillos tentadores como patatas fritas y aros de cebolla. El servicio de los camareros es amable y la atmósfera es siempre la de 1967.
