While the muted interior bears no resemblance to the site's prior tenant, the joints' ethos overlaps a bit. With small plates hinging on the often magical interplay between sea and swine, Hogs and Rocks is a great place for late-night vittles, providing restorative sustenance, and reasonably priced refreshments a good hour or so after regular restaurants have closed up shop ― midnight currently. You can, for example, enjoy a $2 can of Schlitz. However, unlike your local corner store, the person behind this counter won't serve it to you in a brown bag. Plus, you can get a fleet of crisp, light Summer Ice oysters on the side.
Hog and Rocks: 3431 19th St. (at San Carlos), 550-8627.
