The 117-Year-Old Savoy Tivoli Is Finally Reopening | Eater SF

"Set to reopen after closing during the pandemic and finishing final health-department inspections, this 117-year-old restaurant and bar at 1434 Grant Avenue is presented as a veritable San Francisco institution: the Ramones played the bar in 1976, it was the original home of the city’s holiday special “Beach Blanket Babylon,” and it's a block from the original publishing location of City Lights. Current owners Tito Avila and Paul Kozel took over from Kozel’s mother (who passed away in 2021), designer Craige Walters handled the redesign, and new general manager David Sabo helped launch a beverage program of 13 cocktails, three low-ABV options, and three nonalcoholic drinks; opening hours and an official reopening date are still in the works." - Paolo Bicchieri
