Named after Henry Comstock and the famed Comstock Lode, which brought mining fortunes to the City by the Bay, Comstock Saloon occupies a historic space that has served as a watering hole for San Franciscans since 1907. Renowned bartenders Jeff Hollinger and Jonny Raglin of Absinthe Brasserie & Bar, partnering with Bill Russell-Shapiro and the Absinthe team, continue this tradition. Comstock Saloon offers patrons refined turn-of-the-century saloon fare, an assortment of snacks, and a menu of classic cocktails, such as Negroni and the Manhattan, in a setting that preserves the saloon’s historic design elements and pays tribute to San Francisco’s Barbary Coast. Chef Ronnie New oversees the menu.

Inspired by the taverns of the ancient Roman neighborhood it was named for, Aventine is also built from San Francisco history—a 150 year-old seawall, which marks the site of the infamous Barbary Coast, is part of its foundation. Modern twists on classic SF cocktails like the Pisco Brut Punch and the Driftwood flow from the main bar, which is framed by brick walls, large windows and artifacts dating back to Jackson Square’s more infamous times. Downstairs in the parlor, oriental carpet, leather armchairs, and a luxurious dark wood bar juxtapose with the saltwater stained wall and open rafters for a masculine lounge that feels almost private—which is an option for members who reserve on of Aventine’s handcrafted liquor lockers. But that’s not to say Aventine wants to be exclusive: the owners’ come-one, come-all policy means the place occasionally erupts into the alley for an impromptu block party. Created out of pride in its history, Taverna Aventine is a place to eat, drink and socialize for the generation writing the city’s history today—and having a hell of a time doing it.

Barbarossa is a cocktail-driven bar and lounge in North Beach, breathing new life into the historic location at 714 Montgomery Street and opening to the public on November 19, 2015. As one of the oldest buildings in San Francisco, having survived the famous 1906 earthquake, Barbarossa will showcase an entirely new concept—one that is full with legend and mystery as the space was used as a jailhouse in the 19th century. Most recently serving the neighborhood as the former Bubble Lounge, Barbarossa is where Barbary Coast atmosphere meets modern luxury, while maintaining relevancy to present San Francisco drinking culture. Barbarossa will be open Monday-Wednesdays from 4:00p.m.-12:00a.m., Thursdays-Fridays from 4:00p.m.-2:00a.m., Saturdays from 6:00p.m.-2:00a.m. and Sundays from 6:00p.m.-12:00a.m.. Barbarossa’s beverage program includes a seasonally rotating 11-cocktail menu with drinks that are named after famous criminals, madams, dance hall girls and politicians of the time. The beverage menu is made complete with signature grog. Grog is a drink of historical significance and supports Barbarossa’s Barbary Coast sensibility perfectly. This drink was often consumed by pirates and sailors, mixing three main ingredients: spirit, citrus and water. The citrus was used to ward off scurvy, while the spirit (typically rum) was used to keep the water from going rancid. Grog is served Collins-style. Each grog may be ordered with the patron’s own spirit of choice, although it goes best with Whiskey or Bourbon. In addition to the cocktail menu, Barbarossa offers a selection of beer (12 on tap), wine, and selection of champagne. The bar also features champagne flights, champagne both by the bottle (approximately 30) and by the glass, of harder-to-find varietals. This is somewhat in homage to its former concept and as they still have access to one of the most curated champagne selections in the Bay Area. Barbarossa's food menu is simple, reasonably priced, and meant to share. The menu is broken down into four main categories that were popular on menus during 19th century: “from the ocean” (raw bar), “leaves, fruits and roots,” “meats & cheeses,” and “dessert.” The “from the ocean section” prominently features oysters, both local and imported. Popular items include Sausages (current vendor, Foreign Cinema/ShowDogs) as well as the Red Pastrami. All oysters will be served with 4-5 different, seasonal vinaigrettes; all flavor profiles are meant to support the cocktails.
A one-stop shop for the modern gentleman featuring men's clothing, accessories, barbershop, wine, spirits & cigars, and home furnishings. #SFTMG

The 2,743-seat venue is the home of the San Francisco Symphony, and also hosts numerous other outside events. Seat map: http://www.sfsymphony.org/Buy-Tickets/Seating-Chart Davies Symphony Hall was completed in September 1980 after more than 2 years of construction.

The City of San Francisco donated the land and the state and federal governments gave a total of $10 million toward the $28 million project.

Special care was also taken to provide improved facilities for the physically disabled.
