In season 12, episode five, Fieri visits the Broken Record to highlight the oxtail polenta, which simmered in a stock with an added full bottle of red wine for depth of flavor. It was also featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” the Food Network show hosted by Guy Fieri. The Broken Record really was like a breeding ground for food entrepreneurs to start a business that would lead to their first real set-up. But with much success at the Broken Record, chef Abraham Nuñez was able to secure a lease in the building that used to house Emmy’s Spaghetti Shack and is expected to open his first brick-and-mortar early next year. More recently, Chicano Nuevo, a Baja California-inspired pop-up, was serving some fine fish tacos to stuff your face with. The chef then went on to open Rickybobby in the Lower Haight to much acclaim. It was the best bar food that San Francisco had to offer. Back when I could eat many calories and they wouldn’t have a negative effect on my body, I would regularly go to the Broken Record for a buzzy, at the time, new pop-up serving sweet potato tater tots, pulled pork smothered in a homemade Velveeta cheese over waffle fries and burgers with bacon ground into the chuck. My memories of the place, though, were mostly of the fantastic food options in the back room. She missed, but the bartenders put it up there anyway. Back in 2011, when there was a taxidermied boar’s head above the three panels of whiskey behind the bar instead of a TV, a woman tried to throw her bra at the boar so it would hang from the teeth of the stuffed animal. Patrons would also sometimes play board games, like Scrabble, in the front window booth.
One patron, nicknamed Diva Dave, was a regular known for shooting a good game of pool. Located at 1166 Geneva Ave., the Broken Record was a neighborhood dive bar through and through for the working class neighborhood near Crocker Amazon park. Any specialty cocktail would be frowned upon.

It was a no-frills kind of place: free PBR on Fridays or one of 300 different kinds of whiskey.

When the San Francisco Giants were dominating baseball by winning three World Series titles in five years from 2010 to 2014, the bar was a sea of orange and black that spilled onto the street. Even the felt on the pool table was black. But it’s exactly what you wanted in a dive bar that specializes in whiskey. The walls were black, which added to the dark aura of the dingy hangout. When you walked in, it was dark and gloomy.
