This historic bar opened its doors in 1909 and did a brisk business thanks to nearby Seals Stadium. While the ballpark may be long gone, the crowds of die-hard sports fans have not stopped lining the bar to root for their home teams. Vintage prints of the city, historic Seals artifacts and sports memorabilia line the walls of the dining area, where families and workers on their lunch breaks sit down for pizzas, salads and sandwiches.

Fog City Diner
Famous upscale diner serving an eclectic mix of American classics and modern California cuisine. Busy from the day it opened, Fog City has always been a fun, lively place for a good meal and drinks. It does get its share of tourists because of the Visa ad it was featured in some year's back. Just the same, its location along the Embarcadero makes this a good spot for visitors and locals alike.
