Description

An unpretentious Mission District bar whose entertainment varies from night to night -- usually DJs spinning vintage punk, old soul, or maybe some hip-hop and a smidgen of reggae -- although the occasional live band drops by to turn up the volume. If there's no room up front, head back to the rear pool room and snag the cool triangular booth that often seems unoccupied.

    Predictability is good when it comes to trains, planes, and paycheck schedules. But sometimes your social life gets in a rut -- and that's when a bar like the Argus comes in handy.Unless your brain gets regular RSS event feeds, it's almost impossible to predict what will be happening at this Mission neighborhood hangout. Maybe it'll be packed with rocker dudes chugging cheap canned beer and thrashing their livers to punk/metal DJs. Or perhaps some experimental weirdos will be... More »

    Is there some kind of statute of limitations on the tastefulness of jokes about a pint-sized murder victim? Especially if said victim sported a coif right out of Dynasty, held a title from the National Tiny Miss Beauty pageant, and suffered under a comically accented first name? In other words, are we allowed to scoff at JonBenét Ramsey yet? (Let's face it: If she were alive today, you would totally hate her.) More than a decade after her pageant-queen dreams were dashed like a rhinestone tiara on concrete, the bartenders at the Argus Lounge dare to mock the made-for-Lifetime saga surrounding her grisly death. And they do it with a drink that suggests what might happen if you left Shirley Temple unattended in the Ramseys' basement: Just pour a little ginger ale, add some Stoli Vanilla, and throw in a "crushed cherry." We're all going to hell anyway.
