Balboa Cafe - OPEN!


We are six bars into the book, and we have our first one that is still open!


The Balboa Cafe is a San Francisco Legacy restaurant certified by SF Heritage. It's a local favorite serving up the the famous Balboa Burger that "sits on many lists as one of the best burgers in San Francisco." They also have a wine program and live music every Tuesday.

The menu, quite simply, is to die for and the photography on the website is mouth-watering. You don't often seen deviled eggs as an appetizer, so these must be pretty special. Oh, and the steaks...

I have not seen nearly enough of the United States, so we make an effort to move vacations around to experience more of our country. San Francisco is one of the few locations I would love to return to, if not to enjoy the heritage at the Balboa. 

The B&H book features two recipes, and the California Root Beer Float stands out.

California Root Beer Float
  • 1 oz. Galliano
  • 1 oz. Mexican coffee liqueur
  • 3 oz. half and half
  • 1 oz. club soda
Put everything except club soda in a blender with some ice. Blend until smooth. Strain into a 7 oz. wineglass and top with club soda.
