The House Of Shields

The Sentinel and House of Shields Reopen in Downtown San Francisco | Eater SF

"I'm glad that House of Shields, the 100-year-old bar next door, will once again pour classic cocktails in its original setting — complete with original floors, chandeliers, and other historic details — after being closed since March 2020 and delayed because it only serves drinks. For now they'll start with the usual drinks and the same affable, longtime bartenders; Leary says they may add food later this summer (the Sentinel used to be the cigar shop and the two are connected by a pass). The bar required door repairs and dusting after a couple of break-in attempts, but otherwise 'we changed nothing at all,' aside from shining it up, and they won't be adding a parklet." - Becky Duffett
