Legacy Bars and Restaurants  An article at SFeater brought to my
attention a list maintained by The Foundation for San
Francisco’s Architectural Heritage called "San Francisco’s
Legacy Bars and Restaurants."   The quality of many of these
places hasn't necessarily been sustained, but it's cool to see a
list of older places and when they were established. I've
reordered the list chronologically, but note that lots of these
places have moved, burned down and been rebuilt, or changed
focus over the years, so the date's listed are iffy.  1849, Old
Ship Saloon 1849, Tadich Grill 1858, Elixir 1861, Old Clam House
1861, The Saloon 1863, Cliff House 1867, Bourbon & Branch
(previously JJ Russell’s Cigar Shop & The Ipswitch )1867, Sam’s
Grill 1871, Anchor Steam Brewery 1882, North Star Café 1886,
Fior d’Italia 1890s, Little Shamrock 1891, Shotwells 1893,
Schroeder’s 1900, Bus Stop Bar 1902, The Homestead 1904, Oak
Room 1906, Benkyodo Company 1907, Café Du No
