Thomas Lord's - closed



Snippets is all I have. From a SFGATE article:

"The singles scene lasted into the mid '80s. Meanwhile Perry's look -- plants, tile floor, mirrors, checkered tablecloths -- was being copied all over town, at Henry Africa's on Van Ness and Thomas Lord's on Union."

Thomas Lord's is frequently mentioned in stories of the bygone hetero and LGBTQ party scene of the 70s, as well as showing up on numerous Places That Are Gone lists, without a hint as to whether this was a pub, club, restaurant, or bar. 

What was Thomas Lord's over by Pier 31 is now the home office for Intel. Motorcycle parking prevalent. A second address is popping up on the internet, but that is now a parking garage. A third address reveals a tasty place called Belgo.
