The Page

Q	What are your hours of operation? Why?
A	We're open every day until 2am. 5pm to 2am Monday through Thursday 4pm to 2am Friday and Saturday. Sunday football hours: 1pm to 2am Sunday through December 16th, 2007. (After December 16th, Sunday opening time will revert to 4pm.) Like a lot of us, The Page takes a while to get dressed, and looks better in dim light. We do close in observance of Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas day.
Q	Do you have a Happy Hour?
A	Yes, from open until 7pm every day. Happy hour features $1 off all beer, wine, and well drinks.
Q	What credit cards do you accept?
A	None. We accept CASH ONLY. Berating us about this only makes us stronger. There is an ATM just across the road. Note we are no longer able to cash paychecks or personal checks.
Q	What are your specialties?
A	We like all honest drinks, and we take a particular pride in our 22+ draught beers (generally featuring one or more seasonal beers, and always featuring several local beers) and our fine selection of whiskies: Kentucky, Tennesse, small batch and blends, Canadian, Irish -- and not least, Scotch whisky, of which we have several fine blends and an extensive list of single malts from Orkney to Campbeltown and places in between. We're no slouches with gin, vodka, tequila, and rum too (let us know if we don't have a brand you like), and we make damn good bloody mary's (bloodies mary?) and margaritas from scratch.
Q	Can I get a Mohito?
A	No.
Q	Can I bring my bike in? What about my dog?
A	We don't mind a bike unless it's crowded. We discourage dogs.
Q	May I bring my baby in?
A	No. Nobody under the age of 21 is allowed in the bar at any time, no exceptions. This is not our rule. Please lobby the California ABC if you believe your baby should be allowed in bars.
Q	Can I rent out The Page?
A	Not really, but we like hosting fundraisers for good causes and are happy to donate 10% of our proceeds during any given fundraiser. Email us or drop in with details if you'd like to arrange something. Folks have also used the bottom room for occasional presentations and screenings.
Q	What did you used to be called?
A	There has been a bar at Divisadero and Page for over 70 years, maybe longer (anyone with Prohibition-era information, or earlier, please email us!): The Page -- Thanksgiving, 2004 - present Chances -- 1994 - 2004 Corn and Company -- 1979 - 1994 Page One -- 1976-1979 Pal's Rendezvous -- 1940's - 1976
Q	What's your relationship with local brewers and distillers?
A	We think the Magnolia makes great beer and we try to keep one beer on tap from them at all times. We're also big fans of gin from Distillery 209, beers, gin, and whisky from Anchor Brewing, and beers from Speakeasy Brewery. (Not to mention great beers from northern California, like Anderson Valley and the Bear Republic). If you're a local licensed producer of a tasty beer, wine, or liquor, we're interested -- drop by or send email to see about getting your product in the bar!
Q	Is it cool to play Rush 2112 on the jukebox?
A	No.
Q	How about Journey?
A	No. Many think playing Journey is clever, but it is not.
Q	How about the Allman's Whipping Post live, or consecutive Phish tunes?
A	No. Historically, bartenders become churlish and unresponsive 8-12 minutes into any given song.
Q	How should I behave around the pool tables?
A	Being around one of the two pool tables can be exciting and fun if a few rules are observed: Don't set drinks anywhere on the tables Don't sit on the tables Don't yell at the top of your lungs or bang the pool sticks on the table, walls, or floor. Don't pose or dance on the tables, or screech in a high-pitched voice. If this list seems curmudgeonly, know that there are a bunch of other bars out there with pool tables where you can keep the party going.
