3 August 2013 ~ Tommy's Joynt

Listening to: Grateful Dead ~ Bertha (8/27/1972, Veneta, OR)


On Thursday night, in honor of Jerry Garcia's birthday, I attended the Symphonic Celebration with friends at Davies Hall in San Francisco.

Before the symphony, we ate at Tommy's Joynt, and feasted on a roast beef platter with mashed potatoes/gravy and cole slaw. I was here once before on New Year's Eve in 2003 with family.

Quote from it's website: "Tommy's Joynt is the original hof-brau of San Francisco , and has become one of San Francisco's longest living institutions. We sit here at Van Ness and Geary, on Route 101, at the crossroads of the City. "Welcome Stranger" decals itself above our front doors, front doors that beg you to come inside and eat "Where Turkey is King."

It started serving in 1947. This mural is outside.

The symphony itself was a super fun night. Deadheads at a symphony is classic and there was "dancing in the aisles"...literally.

Here is a post of the event.
