"Cocktails and jerky? At first blush, it sounds weird, but stick with it. Order a couple ounces of the house favorite Spicy Beef Candy—or for vegetarians, the shiitake jerky with sake and balsamic—and pair it with a shot and a beer or one of the kickass cocktails. You can never go wrong with the drink of the week, featuring fresh seasonal ingredients (black mission figs? local pears? yes please). This place takes its ingredients and its craft seriously but never gets precious—the perfect combination for the perfect neighborhood bar." - Hearsay Supper Club
"We appreciate a bar that knows how to keep things interesting. At this Dogpatch spot, they're serving cocktails alongside homemade jerky. There are plenty of flavors to choose from, but we like the red-eye jerky with coffee and the candy version with brown sugar. They also do shot, beer, and jerky combos for $13, because, of course. Aside from the tasty cured meats, the cocktails alone make coming to Third Rail worth it." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez

"Sure, this is a dinner and drinks guide, but let this pairing be your “If you care more about the drinks” option. Third Rail is a Dogpatch bar where you can easily drop in for a shot and a beer, or sip on cocktails and get to know your date a bit better. The other draw here is the homemade beef jerky (they also have a vegetarian option), which they serve by the ounce." - taylor abrams, lani conway
"Walking Time To The Chase Center: 12 minutes Sure, you may already have plans to eat all the hot dogs, fried chicken sandwiches, and pretzels you can stand while at the Chase Center, but it still wouldn’t hurt to have a light bite ahead of time. So head to Third Rail. This Dogpatch bar makes great cocktails, plus their own jerky you’ll enjoy with your drinks. We like the Red Eye with coffee and the candied one with brown sugar and chili flakes. They also do shot, beer, and jerky combos for $13—follow one drink with the other and take the jerky with you on your short walk to the arena." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
