The Rusted Mule Gives S.f. Its First Dedicated Mule Bar

Martini bars are a thing. So are margarita bars. Now, in what may be an international milestone, San Francisco has its first mule bar: the Rusted Mule. For theme bar-saturated San Francisco, it may be a small step, but it’s a giant leap for the mule. The mule, as a family of cocktails, refers to a concoction of a base spirit, ginger beer and lime juice. More distinctive than its ingredient list is its requisite glassware, a copper mug.

The possibilities, once you master the syntax, are endless.
