This historic bar has a very old-time San Francisco bar. Step in and you’ll be transported to the late 19th/early 20th century when big names like Huntington, Crocker, Hopkins, and Stanford ran the city (the businessmen and philanthropists who built the Central Pacific Railroad). The inside is cozy and swanky, and the bartenders turn out fantastic classics and wonderful new creations. On the weekend evenings, a live pianist makes it even more enjoyable. The food is also great. An iconic nob hill spot.
