Lonely Planet review for Balboa Café

Before Gavin Newsom won the mayor's race he won over San Francisco diners and drinkers with this classic but not too starchy American bistro, best enjoyed for a casual yet lucrative business lunch. Opened as a saloon in 1913, the beer is still kept cold in ancient wooden ice boxes, and at night the place jumps with the city's loudest, most stridently heterosexual singles scene.
