No Cal, show So Cal some love

[vansmack]

Venerable (and anyone else familair with No Cal), can you help me out?<P>I'm going to SF tomorrow and I'm looking for a bar to watch the Worthington Cup final between my beloved Man Utd and Liverpool Sunday morning.  Being from So Cal, I haven't the foggiest idea of where to go.  Do you know of any good soccer bars in SF?  I'm staying at The Palace Hotel on New Montgomery and Market.<P>A little internet research has told me the following:<P>Abbey Tavern  4100 Geary Blvd  <BR>The Dubliner  3838 24th St    <BR>Johnny Foley's  243 O'Farrell St<BR>Ireland's 32  3920 Geary Blvd   <BR>The Kezar Pub  770 Stanyan St  <BR>The Mad Dog in the Fog  530 Haight St   <BR>Martin Mack's  1568 Haight St<P>I've been to Ireland's 32, but that was a while ago.  Any suggestions/comments/thoughts?

I love that place its normally full of very strange people and homeless guys dancing. <P>I am always disappointed there are no places like that around here.<P><BR>Oh and dont forget to stop by Amoeba records and stock up Avril Lavigne rareities.....
