that's right, do your laundry while you knock back a couple of pints (or a veggie burger and herbal tea if that's more your speed...) at brainwash, 1126 folsom, south of market... cafe/bar/laundromat/club. one side has the washers, dryers and pinball, and the other has tables, a counter, food and booze. they offer a handful of beers on tap, plus a tasty menu ranging from breakfast to fries to salad to fish and chips...
AND crazy as this may seem, live music 4 nights a week (wed-sun)! currently they're booking mostly acoustic sets (rumor has it payment is in free laundry service... hum....)
i usually like to shoot places with more history (brainwash opened in 1989), but as the owner said, this is "history in the making" as they try to brainwash people into ENJOYING doing the laundry...
