Wall of Tom

Wall of Tom can't wait for this show! The Hotel Utah is a 100+ year old institution, in the midst of a reinvented, reinvigorated SOMA neighborhood.Gamblers, thieves, ladies up to no good, politicians, hustlers, friends of opium, goldseekers, godseekers, charlatans, police, fancy miscreants — they all visited The Utah. And that was when South of Market was just a lonely section of the San Francisco waterfront.After the Bay Bridge was finished in 1936, SOMA came into its own. The saloon (and the hotel upstairs) was home to longshoremen, merchants, metalsmiths, furniture makers, with traffic flowing back and forth between San Francisco and the East Bay.Hard to believe that after a century a place can still have the same personality. In the midst of a neighborhood that has reinvented itself so many times, the Hotel Utah Saloon still glows with the mahogany bar, serves real drinks and real food to all comers, and provides a welcoming stage for independent local and national acts. Come see for yourself!
