Local Edition
691 Market Street
William Randolph Hearst once reigned over the world’s most powerful newspaper empire. The basement where they once printed the “San Francisco Examiner,” one of his papers, houses a bar today: the Local Edition. Surrounded by old press printing equipment, yellowed newspapers, and old-fashioned typewriters, elegantly dressed people gather for whiskey drinks at happy hour. Add to that old songs by Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra, and you’ll feel like a part of resurrected history.
