No more Mr. Supervisor. Call him Mr. Barkeep.

Supervisor Chris Daly, set to be termed out of office in January, confirmed Wednesday that he plans to open a bar and grill in San Francisco — a watering hole where progressive politicos and neighborhood activists can gather to hatch new ideas and lament the ones that failed.

He said it would be a perfect fit for a soon-to-be retired politician. ”Culturally, there’s a place for a pub to be an integral part of the community,” he told City Insider. He also would hold fund-raisers there for his favorite causes.

Daly, the former housing rights organizer-turned-supervisor, is in negotiations to take over Buck Tavern, 1655 Market St. at Gough Street. ”The deal is not done,” he said. He still needs to negotiate the final terms of a lease with the property owner and get the OK from the California Alcoholic Beverage Control agency.

Daly — passionate, bombastic, foul-mouthed, at-times bullying and a whip-smart political strategist — came to City Hall as part of the renegade Class of 2000 that was out to blunt then-Mayor Willie Brown’s power.

There has been a lot of speculation about what he would do after he leaves office; his wife and two young children moved from the family’s South of Market home to suburban Fairfield last year and there was thought that Daly might pack up his condo and move across the Bay Bridge for his next job.

But, Daly said, he loves San Francisco and isn’t ready to leave. He said his wife fully supports his desire to run a bar.

”The bad news for Daly haters is I ain’t going anywhere,” he said.
