Back in the day Leon Shakes used to dress as a pirate and haunt the bars of North Beach at all hours of the day and night. He claimed that his alter ego, Alfred Jarry, was with him on these drinking bouts, in full regalia...cyclist's uniform and top hat. These days Shakes and Jarry are joined...they claim...when taking the waters at Gino & Carlo's or the Northstar...by Capt. Jack Sparrow and his inimitable father.



One thing is certain...Leon Shakes, like Jarry before him, drinks for four, whether all are visible or not.
