Perry's Tops Watering Hole List
Watering holes- the authentic kind where men can be men, glance at women, enjoy a chilled martini,
tell a story or two that may not be politically correct and converse about topics such as politics, religion, or sex seem to be drying up. Maybe the characteristics above are the reason why. However, Perry’s,Union St., San Francisco, fits the bill of the perfect watering hole, completely.
Whether it’s a burger, a head lettuce wedge with Blue Cheese, a steak, chicken, or lobster, Perry’s serves locals and visitors alike, with a feeling of back home.
Worn mahogany wals,l wood and tile floors along with a massive bar separate the small cozy front dining room from the room in the back that resembles a tour of Siberia at “21”, come together in the style of saloons that graced this city, decades ago. Not by any means obsolete- fathers have been bringing their sons here- almost as a right of passage, for more than 35 years. Perry Butler is on of the great saloon owners in a city of great saloons. Although Starbucks, juice bars, and French café’s have replaced most, the saloon is as much a part of American culture as the vacation. And, when vacationing in San Francisco, make sure you stop into Perry’s if you want a good burger, a bit of conversation, and a longer to go to your hangout at home.
