Seriously folks, a good hearty meal during or before a night out can be the difference between a good night out &amp; a really bad morning. Besides the menu looks more appealing &amp; healthier than that slice of pizza you ate last night. (The menu can be found at the bottom of this article).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The drinks menu was designed by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/fiftyfiftycocktailco.com\"><strong>Fifty\/Fifty\u00a0Cocktail Co<\/strong>.<\/a> \u2014 the consulting program from<strong> Anderson Pugash <\/strong>who just happens to own\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.palmhousesf.com\">Palm House<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bergeracsf.com\">Bergerac<\/a>\u00a0and <strong>Anthony Parks\u00a0<\/strong>co owner of the same consulting firm.

Location in this business is everything and this fellow patrons is a great location.

From the team who brought the city Campus in the Marina and Eddie Rickenbacker\u2019s in the Financial District, Rick Howard and Noelle Calixto add yet another sophisticated bar program to their list of establishments. House Rules has teamed up with Chef Scott Youkilis to bring delicious bar bites to the menu and Fifty Fifty Cocktail Co. to craft the cocktail program.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the menu&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-964\" src=\"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-001-189x300.jpg\" alt=\"HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-001\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-001-189x300.jpg 189w, http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-001-646x1024.jpg 646w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-965\" src=\"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-002-189x300.jpg\" alt=\"HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-002\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-002-189x300.jpg 189w, http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/HouseRulesDinnermenu052715-page-002-646x1024.jpg 646w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0First off I love the name, as someone in the industry (as most of you know by now) a good name is the first thing that stands out on any &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/?p=947\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":962,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-foodanddrink","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/HouseRules_079.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2F7uh-fh","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=947"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":995,"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947\/revisions\/995"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
