Local before arrival
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.
