Pub grub, draft beers, and a bustling after-work scene
"A Front Street venue included in the entertainment-zone footprint where open-air alcohol containers will be legally permitted; it will take part in the announced free-to-attend party dates (May 30, July 18, August 22, October 10) with live music and TV screens for sports watching." - Paolo Bicchieri
"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
"Hosting the June 6 kickoff of the weekly Drag Me Downtown series, Harrington’s Bar and Grill will feature a lineup of performers (including Afrika America and Amoura Teese); the shows are free to attend, though a $10 RSVP guarantees Pride goodies and supports San Francisco’s Transgender District." - Paolo Bicchieri
"After being closed in 2020 and the subject of much speculation, I see that Harrington’s — the FiDi Irish pub — is reported to be reopening next year with new owners including a group led by San Francisco–based Redco Development and Tonic Nightlife, along with members of the Harrington family and a consortium of longtime patrons." - Lauren Saria
"I read that Harrington’s Bar & Grill—an 85-year-old Financial District institution that closed in 2020 after nearly a century—has no active plans to reopen: owners Ken and Michael Harrington, descendants of the original proprietors, say they will seek a new tenant or sell the two-story, 10,000-square-foot building, which is listed for $4.975 million. Although neighbor Ed Kim launched a GoFundMe to raise $250,000 to cover transferring the liquor license and potential updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, and entryway, it remains unclear what, if anything, will take over the legendary space." - Paolo Bicchieri
