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.

An extraordinarily magical place filled with history. John Lee Hooker, John Cippolina, Janis Joplin, all have performed here. A great neighborhood bar in the heart of the Beatnic jungle of San Francisco's North Beach with strong drinks! And I mean cheap, stroooong drinks! Great blues veterans play here! Music every day and night!
