Dive Bar Shirt Club: The Kingfish Pub & Cafe


Well, this marks the final t-shirt of my first year with the Dive Bar Shirt Club. Should I re-up my subscription? Right now, I'm leaning towards "yes." It was a pretty worthwhile investment. And this one is from California! And it revolves around shuffleboard, so that's cool with me.


They say this San Francisco Bay neighborhood watering hole got its name during Prohibition when it pretended to be a bait and tackle shop. Of course the catch of the day was 80 proof. Now it's a man cave that's solidly powered by testosterone. There's a fever on the mound as the walls celebrate champion ball players while TVs give you the warm glow of live streaming action. In the back of the vintage scoreboard lights your way as shuffleboard offers to take your puck on one incredible super long ride. When the mood strikes you can add your own thoughts to the decades of beer-inspired philosophy that has erupted into chalk talk on every available space. Low ceilings? Perfect. Just don't go nuts looking up. There's nothing quite like the salt life and this sportman's dream when you want to put out your own sign: gone fishing.

So with a full year of t-shirts to look at, is anybody interested in me posting a Poll so that you can vote on which shirt looked best?
