Harrington's Bar and Grill

"Harrington’s has been around since 1933, and it (understandably) feels older than a lot of the surrounding bars. It’s dark inside, with old-timey cash registers and a back wall with a marlin hanging above the kitchen window (we would love to know the story behind that one). Come here with a few friends and split a pitcher outside on a nice day, or drink a pint in silence at the bar and watch a game while you wait for rush hour to pass." - will kamensky

"Kickoff location for the weekly Thursday show Drag Me Downtown." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Harrington’s, a FiDi bar that closed in 2020, has been the subject of much speculation over the passing years. But the San Francisco Business Times now reports that the Irish pub will, in fact, reopen next year. Reportedly, the new owners include 'a group of investors led by San Francisco-based Redco Development and Tonic Nightlife,' as well as a few members of the Harrington family and 'a consortium of longtime patrons.'" - Lauren Saria

"It feels like only yesterday that Harrington’s Bar & Grill neighbor Ed Kim told fellow San Franciscans he was seeking to reopen the 85-year-old bar. But, the owners of the bar — Ken and Michael Harrington, who are descendants of the original owners — told the San Francisco Business Times there are actually no plans to revive the business." - Paolo Bicchieri

"After closing in late 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a longtime fan has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise $250,000 to reopen the family-run bar. The funds will be used for a liquor license transfer and potential updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, and entryway." - Lauren Saria
