Why Did The Ghost Go Into The Bar
San Francisco is a city filled with historic bars, some of which have been around since city’s post gold rush (1848), pre-earthquake (1906) party years. In those days, the men of San Francisco left their offices and hit a string of bars around Market, Kearny and Sutter known as the cocktail route.
Pied Piper Bar
The Palace Hotel opened its doors in 1875. Inside the Palace is the Pied Piper Bar. Sitting amidst the elegant, wood paneling and under the mural by illustrator Maxfield Parrish, it’s possible to imagine eating lunch with Mark Twain, who worked across the street, or receiving a bottle of fine wine from the bartender when the Palace caught fire after the 1906 earthquake.
Lotta’s Fountain
At the intersection of Market, Geary and Kearny is a bizarre (some say hideous) public drinking fountain given to the city in 1875 by gold rush era performer and Broadway star Charlotte “Lotta” Crabtree. Lotta’s Fountain is the oldest surviving landmark in San Francisco. After the quake it served as a message center. To this day, survivors of the disaster mark the moment of the earthquake by returning each year on April 18th at 5:13 a.m.
