Blondie's is a local favorite for a variety of reasons: jazz and blues music, a hip crowd, and a relaxed atmosphere, courtesy of large windows that open out to the street. Enjoy well-mixed cocktails during happy hour, and make sure to try one of their martinis, a house specialty. The housemade blue cheese stuffed olives that garnish the martinis are alone worth the price of the drink. A pool table is available for friendly competition.Although 1991 might not seem that long of a time, it's ancient in terms of the turnover rate of bars and restaurants in the everchanging Mission District. That gives Blondie's an older feel than most of the newer bars in the Mission.
