I see the title of the thread has been changed, but I don't see any info on Crawl #3 besides a date. Do we have any other details yet, like the bars on the schedule?

BART is your best option Saturday
The Chinese New Year Parade is the same day
The bars should be less crowded

Brenda's running a fever so we won't make the crawl this month. Bummer because we were looking forward to the company and the fine cocktails. Be sure to hoist a Manhattan and a Cosmo to our absences.

Man, this was a blast! The Chinese New Year parade made things tricky, but we made it work in the end.
I could not make it across the parade route to get to the first location, so I went directly to the second location (The Clock Bar). The drinks there were very good. The staff was very knowledgeable about their drink menu and the bartender was very friendly. My favorite drink was the Sage Advise.
The third stop was Fish and Farm. I had the Persimmon Flip, which was yummy. We didn't stay here long, but I also had their Fried Chicken dinner. Was pricey but very good.
We then went back to the first stop (Gitane) so I could get in on that action. This was everyone's favorite bar. Our bartender was very nice and took a lot of time to explain the drinks and make recommendations even though it was fairly crowded. My favorite drink there was the Sing Sing.
Another fantastic night on the Paul Crawl! Can't wait for next month's! And thanks to Rumrunner for making this whole thing happen.
~Hanford

#3 may have been the best one yet for drink quality
Fish & Farm had the most surprising one:
"Drunkin Pumpkin" pumpkin liquor, cinnamon vanilla vodka, sweet spiced cream, glass rimmed with graham cracker crust
a great end of the night dessert cocktail
Our friends at NOPA have opened NOPALITA, a small 32 seat Mexican restaurant at Broderick & Oak Streets
COMING SOON........SF CLASSIC COCKTAIL #4 March 7 BOURBON & BRANCH, RYE, CANTEEN
times to be announced soon
