OPENED IN 1907

The Connecticut Yankee is the latest addition to the Pour Guys’ list of classic San Francisco bars. The Yankee was built virtually by hand by the Salvotti family in 1907, and has been a local institution for everyone from our ditch diggers to the city mayor ever since. The place is steeped in rich history – from housing a bootleg operation and speakeasy during Prohibition, to servi

ng as a favorite spot for local artists and the former art director of Rolling Stone magazine in the 70s – the Yankee is truly a San Francisco gem. The Pour Guys took over in 2015, with a commitment to maintaining the bar’s grit and old school charm while integrating calculated changes typical of the team, such as a revamped food program. The Connecticut Yankee is sure to remain a favorite for locals, while becoming a go-to for new visitors seeking great food and an authentic San Francisco vibe.

The fog came back and so did the chili.

Cornbread, a sandwich with genuine ambition, and the specific comfort of a New England bar three thousand miles from New England.

Karl is outside. You are not. Wicked good.

Every wall in here is somebody's story and not one inch of it was planned.

We print our own money. There is a crow that has outlasted three bartenders. And a framed photo of two people who very clearly had a better night than you did.

Come for the walls. Stay for the reason people keep putting things on them.

Calling all Pokémon masters
Doors open at 4pm today!

Everybody down there is in a windowless hall. We are up the hill on the patio where the fog gave up hours ago.
Dog friendly, sun already out, and a table and chairs for the crew.
Tell us who you are backing. We will judge you gently.

August in San Francisco is a rumor of summer, and the patio is the only place it comes true.

First pitch was 10:35 our time, so today brunch and baseball are the same meal. Something cold, something fried, the dog under the table.

Sit outside while the city lets you.

BRB … we’re doing a little re up on some much needed todo’s.

Friday through Sunday our two cities play each other at Fenway.

Which makes this bar a very polite civil war for three days. Sox on one end, Giants on the other, everybody eating the same sandwich and pretending they are not counting.

Three games. One room. Bring your allegiance and your appetite.

Wicked good either way.

All three first pitches are on the last slide.

Before it was our spot, it was two guys and a set of keys.

Meet Fritz Frisbie, one of the originals who opened the doors at Connecticut Yankee on December 15, 1988.
He and Alan O’Brien held down our coveted Potrero watering hole the first three decades. Consider this chapter one, two and 3 coming on hot.

More of the story is coming.
Until now we couldn’t help but drop our “Netflix Take”
