by Pedro Bleser on National Mechanics is by far my favorite bar in Philadelphia. I live in the Art Museum area and I would prefer to trek all the way to Old City than hang out in my own neck of the woods. Paul, Lauren, Drew and the gang ROCK, HARDCORE. Ignore that one review about Drew. I appreciate the fact that "NAT MECS" does not feel the need to have PBR to generate a crowd. Come to Mechanics if you are a beer person. Mechanics celebrates the local brews with Yards and PBC on tap. It's also a place that barely advertises and is always full at night. You can plan your whole week here! Well, I do. Monday, when open, lunch with my old city buddies. Tuesday, if you feel up to it, karaoke night! Wednesday, hang out with John and get a team together for PUB QUIZ. Thursday, just hang the !@#$ out! Friday, sometimes SIDESHOW, most of the time, a great place to meet and hang! It's a favorite for all of the historical organizations like the National Park Service and Once Upon A Nation staff. Saturday, another hangout night if you get there a little early. The place fills up fast! Sunday, start your day with an amazing brunch menu. I am a hung fan of the french toast! Go somewhere else for the rest of the day, then come back around 9 and play Wii on the big screen! if National Mechanics opened a WAWA and a little Coffee Bar, I would not need to go anywhere else! Oh, and a little bookstore with a small selection of high-end adult magazines...hehe. In 2008, Once Upon A Nation made National Mechanics the first stop on the Tippler's Tour which runs every Thursday from April through October! Oh! I forgot to mention, the place has WI-FI!!! And it's Free!!! All you haters need to stop hatin on Nat Mecs! Some girl got her feelings hurt because Drew didn't think she was sexier than his hot, hot, hot girlfriend, so service was bad...haha! Makes "Mecs, YOURS!"
by Thomas R. on May I reiterate the thoughts of another Ratecluber on GAMH: "HOLY SHIT!". And let me address some concerns I have heard from others - 1) location. Yes it is in the Tenderloin. But, my wife and I walked - WALKED from our snotty stoop up off of Union, down the wonderment of Polk where you get exposed to a street of culture that evolves with every step you take. And we walked to the GAMH. After the show we walked back. The 'hood at its worst was our experiences with drunk infiltrators who had penetrated the Tenderloin to frequent the local bars. They were obviously not locals - no, they were just drunk bimbos from other climes. Likely, drunk bimbos from the Marina. The true locals simply ask for a buck, or a bite to eat. The infiltrators get blasted and make nasty scenes as they vomit on the locals' sidewalk. And the other complaint (2 - second) has been the bands that get to play at the GAMH. I'd say that yes the talent is not HUGE BILLING TALENT, but that is part to the draw. Southern Culture On The Skids is coming soon, and sure, you may not know who they are. But, boy do I pity the fools who decide NOT to go see them, and to have the chance to see them play in a architectural relic as beautiful as GAMH is a mistake of unimaginable proportions. You locals to San Francisco need to go see this place. It is spectacular. It reminds me of Tampa's famous and beautiful Tampa Theatre. These theaters are American history, and we are lucky to have such a venue in our neck of the woods. Go early, look around. Pay attention to the details. Look up in the middle of the floor at the ceiling - see the center piece on the ceiling? Notice that under the lattice work that it is hollow - this was the original venting for the ventilation systems. This kind of craftsmanship is non-existent today, and in fact, you can see the more current HVAC vents solutions(circular vents toward the stage, on the ceiling), more popular due to lower costs, and a lack of craftsmanship. Go and experience architectural beauty. Experience a venue where acoustics were more important than seating-volume. This place is a gem. And it not a gem-in-the-rough, it is simply a gem and it is simply a rare gem. Wow. I am simply amazed at this incredible venue!
