Bardelli’s was THE press bar in the 50’s. Newsreel guys especially along with the newspaper crowd. The local still photographers went to bars below Market. I preferred the place (can’t think of the name) on the alley next to the Examiner. Late 60’s, 70’s. Salty Dogs for a quarter. Long bar.

Other long gone SF bars were Jimmy’s on 30th Street, the Pub across from Sears on Burial Hill and My House on Balboa. Used to look at the Racing Form on Friday nights at the Marina Lounge. Outstanding female clientele.

Washington Square Bar & Grill, a/k/a the Washbag, per Herb Caen. Moose hated the nickname. 1707 Powell. 1/3rd of my greatest personal pub crawl ever, St. Patrick's Day 1984. Miss that place.
