THIS IS AN OLD PLACE

It was built in 1908, when the Barbary Coast was still going strong. In 1908, the year Bette Davis was born. The year of the first Model T. 28 years before the Bay Bridge. This bar was standing (and probably serving) before, during, and after Prohibition. Come drink that vibe.

Starting it off, there was the Deininger Family. As a family, they opened the Saloon and commissioned furniture makers in Belgium to design and create its ornate back bar. Since they were serving the city’s best beer, Fredericksburg, the brewery initials ‘FB’ were carved into the back bar (and are still there)! Beer arrived by horse and carriage in wooden kegs that were lowered into the cellar.

A PLACE WITH A SKETCHY PAST

Gamblers, thieves, politicians, hustlers, friends of opium, goldseekers, godseekers, charlatans, police, fancy miscreants — they all visited the Saloon. And that was when SOMA was just a lonely section of the San Francisco waterfront.

After the Bay Bridge was finished in 1936, SOMA came into its own. The Saloon (and the hotel upstairs) was home to longshoremen, merchants, metalsmiths, and furniture makers, with constant traffic flowing back and forth between San Francisco and the East Bay.

AND GOOD STORIES

Next came the decade of the American Dream. In the 1950s, Al Opatz presided over the Saloon. Al didn’t like neckties. If someone wearing a tie got close enough, Al made his move and cut the tie off with scissors. His favorite way to greet someone was to offer them his hand and say “Shake the hand that shook the world”. World shakers like beat poets, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and Bing Crosby bent elbows with gangsters and the cocktail generation. Al eventually bought the bar in 1966 and renamed it Al’s Transbay Tavern. Al’s Transbay gets a mention in a Coppola film, “The Conversation.”

Bring it to 1977. Paul Gaer, who co-wrote the story for the 1979 film “The Electric Horseman,” bought the bar from Al. He renamed it The Utah, and built a stage to support local music, experimental art, writers, comedy, and theater. San Francisco loved it, and Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, and the Pickle Family Circus broke it in.

STORIES THAT GO ON

Hard to believe that after a century a place can still have the same personality. In the midst of a neighborhood that has reinvented itself so many times, the Hotel Utah Saloon still glows with the mahogany bar, serves quality drinks and real food, cooked onsite, to all comers, and provides a welcoming stage for independent local and national acts.

The stories keep coming. Curious yarns with details we can’t go into. Come in sometime, experience it, and feel it for yourself.
