there's also heinolds in jack london square in oakland.
perhaps RWM can be conned into giving you a tour of the wine country.
there's also the Buena Vista (i think that's what is called) it's near powell and bay (i think). this is where irish coffee was invented.
then there's Bix down in the financial district, kinda swanky restaurant / bar. this is where the martini was invented (as in gin and vermouth, none of this vodka *****). I think it's on Gold Rush. which is alot closer to a back alley than a street, best if you have someone who knows the area get you there.
