The Saloon

After 11 years, I finally made it to the oldest bar in SF. There is 1 beer on tap (PBR ), it smells like the oldest bar , and is a blues club. What is there not to love?

Fantastic and authentic blues in town ! Great energy!

Cash, cash, cash. Bring your liver game and your dance game. Real people, real money (F yo' credit card!), real stories, real music , real fun. A dive bar 's dive bar .

Amazingly friendly place with incredible live music . Don't miss it - unless you're not the type who enjoys real, old school tunes .

The Ghost bartender is the MAN.

The bartender rocks!

The perfect blues bar

Always leave a tip.

Pabst Blue Ribbon on tap

They'll sometimes waive the cover if you're a local

Free virgin drinks if you're driving!

I think the old lady bartender has worked here as long as this place has existed. Her attitude is the only thing that would stop me from coming back. So rude :(

Blues music

So much old here. The last true beatnik hangs out here.

Dude. I'm opening a deodorant stand here. And it's January.

Best damned blues bar period :-)

I used a lot of Purell after visiting here

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Come to relax and enjoy the music

Bar slants so watch out for dribble glass
