GOING ALL IN FOR SAN FRANCISCO BARS
Photography by Michelle Kilfeather
Remember bars? When we learned that Virgil's Sea Room in the Mission was shuttering for good, we felt compelled to highlight the bar owners we've had on our show.
Storied: San Francisco was hatched at a bar, like many good ideas and revolutions, and The City will be better served post-pandemic if as many of our watering holes as possible survive.
We invite you to meet these bar owners and bartenders below, spend money at their businesses, and help keep them afloat. We need them now and we'll need them once those coronavirus clouds lift ...
(above) Kundan Baidwan, bartender at Aub Zam Zam in the Upper Haight, open Th/F 3–8; Sa 1–8; Su 1–7; M 3–7
Harmony Fraga of Social Study in the Fillmore, open Tuesday through Sunday 12–6
