I used to live just up the street from Lefty's. As much as I love Lefty the person his bar was usually pretty grim, both inside and outside.

Love this place. I spent 6 months living in a sketchy hotel one block up from Lefty's when I was in school. I didn't have a pot to piss in but was arguably the happiest I've ever been. What a loss to the hood and city.....these types of places are going extinct.

Whoa, where were you at? I lived at the corner of Geary and Jones, next to many sketchy hotels.

I lived in the Spalding on O'Farrell at Powell. Some great (and some sketchy) memories there. Even at 24, I knew it was time to leave when there was a huge drug bust across the hall from me at 3am, broken down doors and everything. Good times.

Nice, right around the corner. I loved the Tenderloin. If it weren't for my girlfriend I'd have never left. Sketchy neighborhood for sure but once you were part of the club you were left alone, at least in my experience.

I only went to Lefty's a couple times. Like I said it was usually pretty grim. There would be a couple of older people at the bar and maybe two couples eating. Not really a great place to hang out, at least for me.
