We had a huge breakfast and just wanted to stop and get a drink and relax for a few minutes.
Here's the deal.
I grew up in Oakland, spent a lot of time in San Francisco. Although my girlfriend and I were only 17 at the time (1971), we went to the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco and ordered a couple of Irish Coffees. I was pretty tall with lots of hair (my Jew-fro), a mustache and a beard...she was really built and 6' tall. This was before places were carding people...and we looked like we were in our mid-20's.
The Buena Vista is where Irish Coffee got their start and is the benchmark for all Irish Coffees everywhere. Seriously...one sip and you hear angels sing.
Hennessey's is equally as good as the Buena Vista's. Plus, the waitstaff is friendly and attentive and their outdoor seating is a great place to people-watch.
