About this business
Not much made it through the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906, but this bar did. There is a great story behind that. Reportedly, local firemen (loyal customers) diverted water from other locations in order to save this place. Its customer loyalty is just as strong today. Founded in 1861, it has as much history as it does popularity. Come for live blues and all the charm of a tradition that is over a century old.

OLDEST BAR IN SF, The Saloon is a small, very informal, very friendly old dive and a great place to rock out and dance to live blues. The oldest bar in San Francisco, it is full of character and characters. No Cover charges and the drinks are cheap. The bathrooms are primitive and not for the faint-I always have a great time there - very fun.
Great place to listen to amazing blue music and drink a few beers.
Great music. Bartender was a little grumpy but everything else was great. It's definitely a dive bar so don't expect frills.
The real characters of this place are behind the bar serving the drinks. And the measures served are certainly character building. Neglect to tip at your peril! Great, authentic and atmospheric live blues / rock venue. Highly recommended for a fun, and for San Francisco, relatively inexpensive night out
I come here every time I'm in SF, and it always makes my heart sing. Can't give no higher rating than that.

Cover charges (if any) are cheap, and the drinks are cheap. The bathrooms are primitive and not for the faint-of-heart (maybe there was originally an outhouse?) My wife and I always have a great time there - very fun.
