Half Day Shared Walking Tours in Historical San Francisco Pubs

Half Day Shared Walking Tours in Historical San Francisco Pubs

Overview

Often the best way to learn the true history of a city is through the stories told by its most iconic bars.

Each walking tour will focus on a neighborhood and its flavor, with stops along the way that highlight 4 historic "legacy" designated bars and chances for some local flavor for food and drinks. From the favorite bar of the beat poets to a classic gold miner haunt to a favorite of Anthony Bourdain. You will learn the rich history of each location along the way! Visit classic pubs like Vesuvio, Specs, Saloon and Mr. Bings and a choice of food stops. You will see classic landmarks like the TransAmerica building, Columbus and Coit towers or the Mission Dolores and Clarion Ally murals.

You will choose your own food and drinks at each stop according to your own pace (30-60mins) and tastes, non-drinkers have had a great time too. Some spots are cash only.

Each tour is designed to be small so you get your own experience and each tour is about 2 miles start to finish with light hills.

What To Expect

Transamerica Pyramid

Learn about this iconic building on the walk to North Beach.

North Beach

There are plenty of small gems to see as we go from stop to stop from the Columbus Tower to City Lights Books, local Murals and little Art Installations. You'll get to see and taste cool local flavor, with a stop for food as well.

Vesuvio Cafe

First stop and the favorite of writers and beats for generations. We'll grab a spot to soak in the stories told in the pictures, paintings and quirky architecture. Chance to choose a beverage.

Specs' 12 Adler Museum Cafe

You could spend the whole day here and not even interact with half of the souvenirs, stories and pictures lining every inch of this place.

The Saloon

This is the oldest standing bar in SF, a literal relic of the gold rush of the !850's and you can feel it. There is often local blues players playing a show as well.

Coit Tower

We will see Coit Tower just up the hill from our route.
