Old Ship Saloon

San Francisco's oldest bar. Est. 1851.

75 guests standing40 guests seated26 min walk to Moscone

The Old Ship Saloon has been serving San Francisco since 1851 — before California was a state, before the Golden Gate Bridge, before the tech industry. The building itself was constructed from the hull of a ship run aground during the Gold Rush, and the space still carries that weight. It is genuinely, unmistakably historic.

At 75 standing and 40 seated, this is our most intimate venue and one of the most distinctive in the city. VIP dinners for out-of-town clients who want something no other city can offer. Press events where the story writes itself. Small executive gatherings where you want guests to feel like they've been let in on something. There is no other bar like it in San Francisco.
