Inside For the Record, a Retro-Fabulous Cocktail Destination Grooving in the Marina
With sincerest apologies to bargoers of the Marina, the neighborhood’s latest cocktail vacation spot can’t make a Purple Bull vodka and received’t play any of in the present day’s greatest hits — not even Justin Bieber, we already requested. As a substitute, you’ll have the ability to get a thoughtfully crafted cocktail, or a good traditional drink, to get pleasure from with a wholesome dose of soul, funk, and disco. That’s as a result of For the Report, which opens in the present day and celebrates its grand opening Thursday, Could 19, is dedicated to cultivating the retro vibes of San Francisco’s wildest That ’70s Present goals, from the wooden paneling on the partitions to the glittering disco balls dangling from the ceilings.
“It’s about creating the total expertise right here,” says proprietor Barry John Walsh. “It’s not simply the drinks.” Although, in fact, the drinks ship, too.
Walsh brings loads of expertise to his first challenge; he’s a longtime worker of Future Bars, the prolific San Francisco group behind nightlife locations like Bourbon & Department and Pagan Idol. And he’s introduced on one other Future Bars alum to work on the cocktail menu. Coming off a stint as Bar Director for Liholiho Yacht Membership and Good Good Tradition Membership, Janice Bailon beforehand hung out behind the stick at Bourbon & Department and Satan’s Acre and has pulled collectively a full album of hits for For The Report. Each drink on the record of 10 takes inspiration from a unique tune from the late ’60s by means of the mid-’80s — every tune serves as a jumping-off level for the drink’s taste profile, she explains.
Take as an example the eye-catching, azure Superfly, named for the soulful 1972 James Mayfield traditional, made with smoky mezcal balanced by lemon, passionfruit, and a contact of natural Galliano liqueur. The California Soul channels the vibe of driving down Freeway 1 on a summer season day blasting Marlena Shaw, which, in cocktail type, tastes one thing like vodka with crisp and floral Lillet Blanc and honey. A bubbly float and a splash of Campari give the drink a layered look not in contrast to a California sundown.
With the Superstitious — a Stevie Marvel funk anthem transmuted into drinkable type through aged rum, housemade ube orgeat, coconut, and occasional — Bailon will get a little bit private: not solely was the tune her go-to when she sang with the band at North Seashore’s Tupelo, however ube can be a nostalgic taste for Bailon, who’s Filipino American. “That’s part of my childhood so I like to include that into what I do,” she says.
There’s a good again bar for workers to work off so, sure, you can too stroll in and order a gin and tonic. However for those who’re making an attempt to show issues up a notch, don’t be stunned if the workers steers you away from straight photographs in favor of one among their Cheekies — so named as a result of the mini cocktails are “simply sufficient to fill your cheek,” Bailon explains. The disarmingly clean Lowrider blends tequila and sweet-herbal Cardamaro, whereas the smoky Unhealthy Ladies combines mezcal and bittersweet Brucato Amaro. “The second that you’ve got it, you’re like ‘Oh, we’re in bother,’” Bailon jokes. And for the non-spirit drinkers, there are beers by the bottle or can and a shortlist of wines obtainable.
For The Report’s meals menu is certainly concise, however it’s backed by the creativity of consulting chef Frank Hua, recognized for his hit Hawaiian-inspired pop-up Unco Frank’s. Hua says he began researching meals from the period however discovered himself confronted with recipes for marshmallow and Jello salads and pineapple hen. “Meals that you just don’t need to eat,” he says. “So I took a unique method.” Hua leaned into the concept of a retro ceremonial dinner however elevated the standard finger meals: deviled eggs get topped with smoked trout roe and coconut shrimp comes with a facet of coco mayo. There are additionally some easy, stable bar meals choices together with a Ceasar salad, fries, and porcini popcorn topped with white cheddar mud and brown butter.
Walsh says he’s been on the lookout for the precise area to interrupt out on his personal for a while. He settled into the low-ceilinged floor flooring area that when housed Mina Take a look at Kitchen (and extra lately, U Dessert Story) and spent the final 4 months remodeling the slim room into a comfortable bar-meets-conversation pit hybrid. Groovy patterned wallpaper from Benicia’s Bradbury & Bradbury wraps across the lengthy, slim most important room, with a wall of inexperienced banquettes set throughout high-top tables leaving loads of room for standing and sipping a drink.
Walsh additionally tapped a handful of native skills to fill out the area. Design advisor Britt Henze painted a striped mural that strikes, lightning bolt-like, across the area. Design advisor Ivan Mora hung a disco ball set up within the backroom, and there’s a hand-painted signal hanging out entrance by Fernando Garcia. Even small touches converse to the retro-fabulous theme: a row of glowing lava lamps, a classic radio cupboard, and framed artwork sporting psychedelic Invoice Graham fonts. “I really like historical past and after I was trying into the historical past of San Francisco, there was a lot about this period,” Walsh says. “However there’s no bar that leans into it as a lot as we’re.”

FOXBOROUGH – This isn’t where the Patriots wanted to be, but after two losses in a row, the show must go on.
On Friday, the Patriots left New England for a cross-country trip to San Francisco to take on a talented 49ers team. After a strong start and upset win, to start the season, Jerod Mayo’s team is coming off a blowout loss to the New York Jets.
Now, they’ll take on the NFC favorites, on the road.
The 49ers have a roster full of elite players but are also dealing with health issues. San Francisco’s offense will be without All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey and Pro Bowl receiver Deebo Samuel. On top of that, four Pro Bowlers – tight end George Kittle (hamstring), tackle Trent Williams (illness), defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (triceps), and quarterback Brock Purdy (back) – were on the injury report this week.
The Patriots must turn the page and forget about their performance in New York.
“What I will say is the challenge for us is just in the front: offensive line and defensive line. I don’t want to sound repetitive, but they are a do-what-they-do type of team, and we know what they’re going to do, the fans know what they’re going to do, but you still have to stop them,” Mayo said. “They have a lot of good players on that team, offensively and defensively, All-Pro-caliber players almost at every level if you really look at the roster. So, it’s definitely a challenge, and I think the guys – I tell them all the time, look at it as an opportunity to go out there and perform.”
Here are five things to watch when the Patriots take on the 49ers:
Brandon Aiyuk
This matchup is like when you see someone in public who once rejected your advances and hope to show them what they’re missing.
The Patriots had a trade in place with the 49ers to acquire All-Pro receiver Brandon Aiyuk. They even had a contract offer on the table that would’ve reportedly made him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
Instead, Aiyuk rejected the Patriots, used them as leverage, and ended up re-signing with the 49ers for less money.
Ouch.
The Patriots will get a chance to see Aiyuk on Sunday. It’ll be fascinating to see if Christian Gonzalez can slow down the receiver. Aiyuk clearly didn’t think much of the Patriots roster. We’ll see how they respond.
Jacoby Brissett
The Patriots passing attack is ranked last in the NFL, averaging 102 passing yards per game. Of course, the team is also ranked first in the NFL in interception rate (0.0%).
Jacoby Brissett has a tough job. He’s being used as a piñata this season, taking hits from opposing defenses while keeping the seat warm for Drake Maye. The veteran hasn’t exactly lit up the stat sheet this season, but he’s also not making too many egregious mistakes.
Out of all quarterbacks, who’ve started three games, Brissett is last in the NFL with 368 passing yards, but his interception percentage of zero is tied for first. The 49ers are ranked 20th in the NFL in passing defense. They’ve allowed 217.7 passing yards per game.
We’ll see if Brissett can put together a better effort this time.
Offensive line
Brissett has been sacked at an alarming rate this season.
Entering this week, he’s fourth in the NFL in sack percentage (the times sacked on plays where he’s supposed to pass the ball). Last week, he was sacked five times and hit 12 times overall.
That won’t work on Sunday. San Francisco has one of the better pass rushes in the NFL. Four-time Pro Bowler and former Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa anchors this defensive line. On Thursday, Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt called Bosa a “nightmare.”
The Patriots should be getting back left guard Sidy Sow this week. That’s positive. However, they’ll likely start third-string left tackle Caedan Wallace. He’s been elevated due to Vederian Lowe’s knee injury and Chuks Okorafor leaving the team.
We’ll see if the results are any different.
Rhamondre Stevenson
The San Francisco 49ers have one of the best-run defenses in the NFL. They head into this game ranked ninth in the league, allowing 104 yards per game on the ground. Opposing teams, however, are averaging 4.52 yards per carry against the 49ers – and that’s 21st in the league.
That brings us to Rhamondre Stevenson.
He’s arguably the Patriots best offensive player. He’s why the Patriots offense didn’t look putrid in the first two weeks. However, he’s fumbled three games in a row. That’s bad news because after going away from the run last week, the Patriots need to hammer the ground game again.
Will Stevenson bounce back? It’s the Patriots best bet to move the football, so they are probably hoping he does.
Defensive performance
Expectations for the Patriots offense were already low. The big hope for this year’s team was that the defense would be a top-10 unit. However, they haven’t looked the part in the past two games.
Now, they enter this week ranked tenth in points allowed (19.0 per game) so that’s solid. The defense struggled the past two weeks against Aaron Rodgers and Geno Smith. Their passing defense is currently ranked 27th in the NFL while their run defense is among the best at No. 5.
Last week, the Patriots struggled to tackle, so that needs to improve on Sunday. They also need more turnovers and sacks. So far, the secondary has zero interceptions while the group is 22nd in sacks per pass attempt.
Can the Patriots defense turn it around in San Francisco?
Prediction: 49ers 23, Patriots 16
