Q: Unfortunately at one time in my life, I was perfectly happy to come to Fubar and blow $150 These days, I realize what a complete dump Fubar is in terms of drinks, service, ambiance, and general clientele. Waiting on a segregated bar side (always seems to be an Asian, and a non-Asian side???) for a bartender whose eyes are everywhere but waiting customers is pretty lame. Add to this horrible drinks with non-descript names (a "Fubar" shot? Realllyyy?) and a general feeling that I have somehow wandered into a horrible bodypacked container of gangsta wannabe Asians makes me even more glad I moved on to discover places like Boltini Lounge and The Blind Pig. For all you kids who arn't 21 yet, at least go to SoMa where you can PRETEND to be classy and get served.

Q: I cant give it a 5. The buns were too big and no flavor. I got the farm burger it was good but not amazing. We also had trouble flagging down a server to get some ketchup. The service was a bit nuts as in bad. The truffle fries were very good and iced tea fresh.

Q: The boy and I went to Vegas for his birthday. Not to gamble, not to drink. To go to the Pinball Hall of Fame. We spent the whole weekend there. It was pretty fun, I have to admit. They have row after row of *playable* pinball machines. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed playing the older machines where it's more about chance and less about skill. The games where you get see the electric jolts and hear the little metal bells. I also really liked playing "Pinball Circus," a prototype machine that never got made and of which there are only two in existence. That particular machine did cost $1.00 per game, but you get 5 balls and I scored a few replays. The newer machines are either $0.50-$0.75 per game, and the older machines are just $0.25 per game. We brought my 9-year-old niece along for a few hours and she really liked playing on the "ping pong" machines too. My only suggestion would be a snack bar with chairs. I mean, when you're playing pinball for several hours straight, it would be nice to sit and relax for a few minutes with a sody pop.
