The year was 1855. The streets of San Francisco were overrun with theives, grifters, muggers, and prostitutes. Roving Gangs ruled the streets through violence and intimidation and that was just the clergy. The ratio of men to women was 50:1. The women used to say, “The odds are good, but the goods are odd”. A perfect setting for a guy named Kelly. As ships came into port, their new crew would immediately go AWOL and head to the Gold Country with hopes of striking it rich. This left ship captains with ships full of cargo and no crew. Thats where Kelly came in. He owned a saloon at 55 Pacific, built on the rotting hulks of abandoned ships in what is now the Financial District (where the real crooks are). When captains found themselves crewless, they would go to Kelly to secure sailors. Kelly would slip unsuspecting rummies a ‘Mickey’, rendering them unconscious. He would then lower them through a trapdoor, into a waiting rowboat and deliver them to ships for his payday. The newly ’shanghaied’ sailor would wake up at sea on his way to China with a wicked hangover, a new job and no idea what had happened. What a great idea for a bar! So, 130 years later in 1985, two guys opened up at Polk & Broadway dedicated to the same premise: Have a good time tonight! Don’t worry about tomorrow!
Kozy Kar is a bar of all things cool growing up in the 70's and early 80's. Custom vans, eight track player,and waterbeds are just some of the amenities.
The Northstar Cafe has a long and colorful history in the Northbeach neighborhood of San Francisco. Since 1882, the ‘Star has been serving generations of residents, tourists and riff-raff. Once a speakeasy during Prohibition, the Northstar has had many different faces. A local restaurant run by the Lagomarsino Brothers serving union bosses, politicos, newspaper staff, cops and firemen.Laterm the Tomei Brothers ran it as a neighborhood saloon where anything could happen… and usually did. Since we took over in 1992, we’ve tried to maintain the special neighborhood feel while inviting tourists and local diners to join in the mayhem. We don’t serve any of that pesky food stuff, ‘cept for popcorn (solids are overrated), so you won’t have to mind your manners. But we will entertain you with a strangely functional and amusing staff, pool table, 6 HDTVs and a happy hour from 1 ’til 8 PM.
Great cocktails and unique craft beer selection. Nightly free live entertainment with comfortable booth seating, an upstairs mezzanine and a wrap-around bar with full-window views of the bustling streets. The Royale embodies the voice of the creative spirit of our unique patrons.
In the spring of 2013, the team took over Louie’s Bar and Grill – a Financial District favorite. A former whalers’ bar with roots dating back to 1930 Louie’s maintains its old school charm while combining enough class for a client lunch. Louie’s is a slightly more sophisticated version of its sister bar, the Tempest, though still maintains its dive bar DNA with exposed brick walls, long-standing regulars and unassuming vibe. The bar is also open until 2 AM, making it a late night favorite after much of the surrounding Financial District has closed up shop. Louie’s is also known for its menu. Former Michael Mina vet Stephen Crawford and the Pour Guys were determined to make the burger one of the very best in the city. Aptly named The Burger – topped with bacon bourbon BBQ jam, potato sticks, aioli and argula – it does not disappoint. Louie’s is the kind of bar that will become your go-to happy hour, lunch or post-work haunt.
