Heritage Happy Hour: Specs' 12 Adler Museum Cafe

Heritage Happy Hour: Specs'

Heritage Happy Hour is a convivial “no-host” gathering of heritage professionals, young preservationists, aficionados, friends, and Legacy Business cohorts interested in safeguarding San Francisco’s unique architectural and cultural identity. We get together on the Second Thursday of each month from 5-7 pm at a registered Legacy Business bar in San Francisco.

Since 1968, Specs' 12 Adler Museum Cafe (https://www.specsbarsf.com) has served as a cultural institution and watering hole for writers, artists, activists, travelers, and weirdos, encompassing a diverse crowd representative of San Francisco's vibrant community.

The walls are littered with knickknacks, tchotchkes, and artifacts from all across the globe, welcoming visitors and regulars alike into our unique corner of the world with unparalleled character and old-school charm.

Specs' is a family-run business, now owned by Specs Simmons' daughter Elly and granddaughter Maralisa.

Specs' was added to the Legacy Business Registry on August 8, 2016.
