So you’ve made it through another year of the family, the stress, the arguments and the awkwardness of Uncle Jim’s didn’t-stay-in-Vegas fiance. (“Did she escape from the circus?” “No, San Quentin.”)
Dammit, you need a drink.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. A variety of Mission bars will be open on Christmas day to bring out that inner Christmas cheer.
Most of these purveyors of liquid relief will be unlocking their doors a few hours later than a normal Friday. Neighborhood stalwart Clooney’s, on the other hand, will be available from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., as usual.
