Monday at the Homestead, a great old tavern that was recently restored to it's original 1902 look with tin ceiling, maroon and gold wallpaper, velvet drapes, and flickering gaslights. Then there are the 1960s nude oils hanging on the wall that look just like the ones at Albie's Beef Inn! It's pretty cozy as well because there's a wood stove in the corner. They have fresh fruit for cocktails and about a dozen beers on tap including Fuller's ESB. It truly has the atmosphere of old San Francisco. So, now there are 2 Shellac Shacks happening: the original on the first Monday at Tony Nik's, and the 3rd. Monday at the Homestead. At both Shellac Shacks DJ Pete "Chase" Gowdy spins an all 78 RPM mix 78s of R&B, jazz, blues, rockabilly, and country and western. Keep this in mind for post Trader Vic's Monday gatherings, which I will be attending again now that I have some new wheels! The Homestead 2301 Folsom St. (at 19th.), San Francisco
