The Little Shamrock - San Francisco
Get your Irish Up at The Little Shamrock, San Francisco
Back when Golden Gate Park was a stripling and the Sunset was nothing but shifting sand dunes, the Little Shamrock was the sole stopover between civilization and the edge of the continent. It opened in 1893 as the park was preparing to host the city’s first World’s Fair, and between the construction crews and the thirsty travelers making the long journey out to Topsy’s Roost at the beach, the place flourished. (The free lunch and 5-cent schooners of beer might’ve helped.) It also survived the 1906 earthquake and several decades of rambunctious good times, and today the original building is a pleasant place in which to relax in a comfy armchair and sip a cocktail.
I like to think of my Dad and Uncle Les drinking here when they were young. - the Irishlass
