About this Event
Heritage Happy Hour: St. Mary's Pub
Heritage Happy Hour is a convivial “no-host” gathering of heritage professionals, young preservationists, aficionados, friends, and Legacy Business cohorts interested in safeguarding San Francisco’s unique architectural and cultural identity. We get together on the Second Thursday of each month from 5-7 pm at a registered Legacy Business bar in San Francisco.
St. Mary's Pub (www.stmaryspub.com/), established in 1933, is the oldest Repeal Bar in San Francisco that has maintained its original name. A historic, neighborhood bar nestled on the edge of Bernal Heights next to Glen Park, the bar always has a variety of events going on and an award-winning Bloody Mary menu on Saturdays and Sundays.
In the 1950s, a proprietor named “Red” implemented an unusual payment plan for his customers. Patrons were charged per person, not per drink, depending on the length of their visit. This was an old-school bar practice to give regulars a financial break and hopefully encourage them to return.
St. Mary’s Pub makes some of the best Bloody Marys in the entire city. The bar was awarded “Best Bloody Marys in San Francisco” from two local newspapers for multiple years, and in 2015 it was recognized by USA Today magazine on the top ten list of best Bloody Marys served in the United States.
St. Mary's Pub was added to the Legacy Business Registry on January 14, 2019.
