Editorial Review for Blondie's Bar & No Grill – by Erika Stalder
The Scene
Dark walls, exclusive banquettes and European streetside seating evoke opulence and intrigue--a fitting homage to the bar's signature drink: the martini. A slick, mixed crowd of party people stop to tip slim-stemmed glasses, shoot pool and pose, while weekend DJs stir hip-hop and dance beats.
The Draw
A seemingly endless martini menu takes drinkers light-years beyond the shaken-not-stirred-know-how of James Bond. Choices range from a chocolate mint to a standard gin 'tini with spicy sausage and blue cheese garnish. Thankfully, exotic choices don't mean small servings (each drink is a tall 16 ounces) and careful presentation guarantees a sharp-looking cocktail to match the crowd. A second bar in the back room opens on weekends to satisfy high demand.

When to GoBlondie's--like most of the Mission--has become a popular weekend destination for the bridge-and-tunnel crowd. If you're looking for a low-key, neighborhood vibe, weekdays are best.
ParkingTo play it safe, try the garage at Hoff and 16th streets.
Know Before You GoBlondie's dancefloor is filled with bump-and-grinders on weekends and occupied by a pool table on weekdays.

Stopped on a Monday night. The place wasn't too busy but had a great atmosphere. Not too ritzy but not a dump either, great place to relax and have a martini and listen to great music. I hope to see better bands occaisonally on the weekends but great acoustic and electric rock. Highly recomend!

I went to Blondies a few times several years ago, and went back this weekend. I was surprised how little it has changed, and that's the best news. I have never had anything less than a great time at Blondies. The DJ is always spinning something fun to dance to. The bar was crowded, and my slim cosmo was a hefty $11, but unlike most bars I got a refill pint along with my martini glass, so it was like two drinks in one. The crowd is young and cheerful and determined to have a good time. The staff is friendly, the bouncers are quick to act on any disputes, and the cover is a modest $5. It's not too posh and it's not too skanky - a nice comfortable let-your-hair-down let's-groove-tonight place.
Pros: good music & martinis, fun crowd
Cons: limited seating, small dance floor
