ABOUT TOPE

Back in the beatnik days there were live poetry readings, in the '60s as the "Kiwi" it was the first non-smoking gay bar in SF, and was a bar that both Allen Ginsberg and Janis Joplin both hung out with. When it was "The Gathering" legend has it there was a bartender named Brian that had a monthly customer appreciation day. He made pot cookies sprinkled with speed.
