Shotwell's Saloon

History buffs and beer lovers alike will find a home at Shotwell's bar in the Mission district. The neighborhood hangout draws an easy stream of locals with a pool table, pinball machines, and a low-key atmosphere. The menu is comprised of a wide variety of beers sourced both locally and internationally. Shotwell's is one of San Francisco's few remaining saloons from the late 19th century (it first opened in 1891) and features the original wooden back bar, which was shipped from the Boston area to California in 1906, and still has gunshot holes from an unknown incident … leaving patrons to imagine the skirmishes that once occurred there.
