THE PARKSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD

The Parkside neighborhood has a rich history in San Francisco.  Created over 100 years ago, the Parkside neighborhood still remains a strong community in the Sunset District.  Built in 1948, Parkside Tavern has been the home to many neighborhood establishments over the years. 

Long-time residents of Parkside fondly recall memories of the pipe organ behind the bar when The Lost Weekend was here during the 50’s & 60’s.  Feeling nostalgic?  Just look up!  The architecture of the ceiling reflects the original shape of the circular bar that once filled the room. 

Mahogany and brass-filled the room in the early 1990’s when the building was remodeled and a kitchen was added, creating the namesake restaurant, 1940 Taraval.  Many residents of the Parkside community fondly recall Rick’s Restaurant & Bar, which served American & Hawaiian comfort food and provided a friendly neighborhood atmosphere to the community from 1995 – 2009. 

Today, Parkside Tavern continues the tradition of a friendly neighborhood restaurant and lively bar, keeping the spirit of the Parkside neighborhood alive.  We welcome you to join us!
