Description

Revered for its daily live blues performances, the Saloon also has the rugged distinction of having survived the 1906 earthquake and standing as the oldest bar in San Francisco (opened in 1861). With its rough aged-wood interior and hardy clientele, the Saloon definitely stands apart from the shiny new neighbors along this nightlife-rich stretch of North Beach.

By Bay Ewald | Thu, November 15, 2012

As far as booze-related, hands-on historical homework goes, the fact that San Francisco contains two of the top ten oldest bars in the United States could radically transform even the most unintereste... More »

Bouncer Steps into the Twilight Zone at the Saloon, SF's Oldest Bar

By Katy St. Clair | Wed, November 16, 2011

From this week's Bouncer column: I have a few personal earworms that periodically run through my head. Every time I turn on the furnace at home, for example, I sing Glenn Frey's "The Heat Is On." Whe... More »

The Saloon, S.F.'s Oldest Bar and Live Blues Venue, Turns 150 This Weekend

By Ellen Huet | Fri, October 07, 2011

Sex sells, but in the case of S.F.'s oldest bar, sex also saves -- buildings, that is. The way owner Myron Mu tells it, the Saloon -- a North Beach watering hole established in 1861 -- was a bar on t... More »
Working out the balance of the universe in North Beach

By Katy St. Clair | Wed, November 15, 2006

Things fall apart. Yet despite the dips and valleys in life, in the end, I believe that the universe evens itself out. I suppose this is the sort of thinking that someone who has never had a major tragedy befall them can have. People who have,... More »

2005 | Best Reuse of a Historic Whorehouse

This North Beach blues bar is perhaps the oldest drinking establishment still active in the city, having opened in 1861 as the Fresno Hotel Bar and survived several reincarnations (not to mention the 1906 earthquake and fire) since. Lore has it that a group of sailors rushed to save it from the approaching flames in '06, perhaps -- although no one can say for sure -- recalling fond nights spent at the old Fresno when it was a whorehouse.
