The Buena Vista

The Buena Vista is a legendary bar at 2765 Hyde St in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, steps from the Powell-Hyde Cable Car's last stop. It is widely credited as the home of the original Irish Coffee in the United States, a distinction that has made it a landmark destination for locals and visitors alike. Beyond its famous drink, the bar serves a menu of satisfying comfort food dishes that pair well with its classic pours. The casual atmosphere suits everything from a relaxed morning visit to a lively group hangout, and the bar is open seven days a week.
