There can be little doubt that The Saloon, at 1232 Grant Street in North Beach, is one of the top blues bars in the City. Make that the state. Make that the world. Make the scene with music every night with two bands on Fridays and weekends. The talent runs the gamut from raw to top notch, always spontaneous, always lively. No tired old big names here.-http://www.sfblues.net/Saloon.html
