Ahhh. I've spent many an afternoon on the floor of the Buena Vista clutching an Irish coffee.

Always after me Irish Coffee! It's magically *hic* delicious!!

Hey, I got me an idea. Let's mix the stimulants and the depressants!



/Wife is Irish
//And an alcoholic

I guess it's appropriate that they had it at the Shannon airport, since it was invented there for the tourists.

The picture shows them making it w/ Tullamore Dew and not Jameson's. For shame!

HOW THE FARK DOES THIS NOT GET A HERO TAG?????????

/slashiaty

I'm confused - Why would the Bar Association celebrate in such a way?

While I'll agree that That's the birthplace of the Irish Coffee, I'm pretty sure this wasn't the first place some drunk decided to put some booze in his coffee. I'm thinking a sailor or fisherman had a hangover on one of those bone-chilling damp mornings and decided to kill 2 birds w one stone.

I worked a block away from that place for 2 years and never did go in in there...

/not a big Irish whiskey fan

yea! San Fran!

In case you're not into whiskey.

The Monks ought to be dropping into the Long Spoon about now.

Whisky: from Scotland.

Whiskey: only good enough to drink in coffee.

Pappy Van Winkle just rolled over in his grave.

I stop there everytime I'm in SF. I'm one of the tourists that clog the place on weekends. But I put up with the same in my town at the Crow's Nest in Santa Cruz.

Thank you Stanton Delaplane - your articles are still sorely missed!

The Buena Vista is where I went for my first legal drink as an adult some 20 years ago- it was an Irish Coffee made just right.

Cheers for the link, subby.

Just a quart of your cheapest whiskey landlord, some nice Java beans, a cow, a pack of blue Rizlas, a half ounce of Golden Virginia and a lid of skunk.

Ah, Sunday afternoons - always mellow.

We sometimes go there after the monthly sea shanty sing at the Hyde St. Pier. Fun place, but really over-run with tourists. Of course, it IS right there by Fisherman's Wharf, so there's no way around that.

I've never been. Usually get my Irish coffee at the Gold Dust on Powell; it's by Union Square so you still have to deal with tourists a little, but it's nice slice of old school San Francisco before the damned bubbles. Oh, and cheap drinks are nice touch, too.

Coincidence. I think not

Like mine with a little creme de menthe, green of course.

Dumbass, subby! It's IRISH DANCING(ERS) not clogging. Completely different style of dance. >.

Is that the same guy who invented the Cobb Salad?

no, but he liked his salad tossed

You American folks always amuse with with all the "Irish" shiat you make up.

ukexpat You American folks always amuse with with all the "Irish" shiat you make up.

You see, we Americans do know that the irish actually spend all their time letting the Brits bugger them while they suck off the Scots...but that is not as much fun to make fun of as their being drunken lazy pieces of shiat.

Do you understand better now?

Doesn't seem so much to be caffeinated whisky as it is whiskinated caffee.

I like my coffee like I like my women... Full of liquor.

RidersOfLohan: san fran has some nice women

irishdncr83, ace in your face

Back in MY day it was stepdancing, and the boys had to wear kilts, none of that sissy long pants crap.

Nowadays my sister's a judge and I go to the feis to drink.

Ah, the Buena Vista. I was one of the tourists in that place on March 17, 1997. I had a black and tan and remember it as if it were yesterday.

mark_bert: I like my coffee like I like my women... Full of liquor.

I like my women like i like my coffee... Ground up and in the freezer.

...I think I'll make one now!

clog dancers

I first read that as dog dancers....

Slightly disappointed

I was in San Fran 2 months ago, and I missed this place completely. I do think I might have read about it, I just never got over there.

Now I have to go back

/any excuse is good enough for me

please be the irish bank

FredaDeStilleto: Ahhh. I've spent many an afternoon on the floor of the Buena Vista clutching an Irish coffee.

Whenever I visit the city and I have some free time, I'll go & grab some coffee and food from there. Great place, and there's always a good vibe going on.

doofusgumby: ///farking irish behind the bar and that.

I've seen some Irish barmaids I'd have gladly farked behind, in front of, on top of, or, if necessary, under the bar.

The Buena Vista does make a fine Irish coffee, regardless of it's really Irish or not.

The Buena Vista at SFO, on the other hand, isn't really the same thing.

Often had an Irish at the BV to sober up after drinking all day at a local yacht club after a race. Friendly fun place.
