Hey pretty lady, come here often? For the third year running, readers who weren't too busy cruisin' picked The Beach as the place to do their sharking around. If you can't get lucky at this deliberately tacky, south-of-the-border-themed party barn, you can at least ogle the scantily clad servers and bartenders. Gordon Biersch Brewing Co. -- nearby, yet worlds away in atmosphere -- jotted down enough phone numbers to merit a distant second.
Our Pick: GORDON BIERSCH BREWING CO.

My, how the city has changed. Ten years ago the city's smattering of white-collar singles crowded around the square bar of TGI Friday's on Fridays. Now they crowd the square bar at Gordon Biersch. It's some of the same people, and even one of the same bartenders. But the bar is bigger, as is the pool of white-collar workers, and both seem more attractive. So yes, you could say the city has changed.
