Party Earth Review: A San Lorenzo fixture for over twenty years, Rive Gauche 2 has been around long enough to remember the true communist days of the neighborhood that have now been replaced by a less outspoken political climate. Nonetheless, the patrons who frequent this popular bar still lean to the left and include creative types like actors, painters, musicians, and writers, as well as a contingent of local students and area residents. Settled in its ways and apparently content with its loyal following, the bar has not gone out of its way to refresh its dated look or create elaborate special events, relying instead on its tried and true “what you see is what you get” vibe that puts customers at ease. If patrons aren’t enjoying their drinks outside, they’re usually gathered around the wooden tables in the large main room or tucked away in the small elevated nook behind the bar. The art deco prints and black-and-white photos complement the wood paneling, while the dim lighting underscores the bar’s simple purpose – to provide a mellow place to rest one’s bones, grab a beer, and hang out with friends. Packed every night of the week with an animated, opinionated clientele, Rive Gauche 2 is clearly doing something right.

Rive Gauche 2 Review

Tip from Jonah:

“In a country where wine reigns supreme, handcrafted beer making is a relatively new thing. Rive Gauche 2 is one of the few places that has a variety of these beers on tap, from blond to red to double malt – all delivered from a small brewery in Pisa.”

Hot Nights/When to Go

The permanent crowd of regulars makes the bar one of the area’s failsafe options. It really gets jumping on the weekends, but it’s great any weekday after 10pm.
