by Ashley A. on Best Jalapeno Sidecar in the city. Gives Death & Co a run for its money. Consistently a good looking crowd with awesome music. They always have good dj's and live talent. Friday nights are a blast downstairs but always nice to have the option of a chill atmosphere upstairs.
by MakeUp M. on Make-Up's Checklist for a Good Night Out: *Low Key Atmosphere *Good drink specials *Nice Bartenders *Good crowd *Good music El Rio had all these things in spades. Plus, it had the added (mega) bonus of a nice bunch of cute rockabilly boys running around when I went. (Note to fellow groupies, I mean, "professional girlfriends of musicans", rockabilly boys are the cutest boys in music. Not the bands per se, but the male rockabilly fans--HELLO!) Ahem, moving on...El Rio has a lot going for it. Great back patio, removed enough from the other Mission douchebaggery, friendly female bartenders who don't overlook girls in favor of guys when it comes to getting a drink. The only reasons it didn't rate 5 stars was the pungent smell of vomit near the bar (they blamed it on a sour tap) and the bar area is so narrow that trying to get in/out is a 5-minute litany of "excuse me's" as you try to get past people ordering drinks.
