Is Joe Brown Right? Or Irish Wiskey for lunch!

August 23rd, 2006

“This is a true story” Joe told me. In San Francisco the bar-It’s right on the Wharf, now you know about the Wharf it was . . . Well if you know Mr. Brown it took a while for him to get back to the point. Joe told me a tale about the bar that invented the Irish Whiskey. When I found myself outside the Buena Vista, yes it is right by the Wharf. At risk of making this one of Joe’s “ just a short story, I’ll just say that they Irish Whiskey at the Buena Vista is a prefect combination of power and sweetness.

    The Buena Vista Cafe did not invent the “Irish Coffee,” as even its souvenir menu reports(the same menu provides a how-to instructions)and its website (www.thebuenavista.com/irishcoffee). The Irish Coffee concept was brought back from the Shannon (Ireland) Airport decades ago. The Buena Vista has brought it to well-deserved fame, supported by by the cafe’s convenient and excellent location so near Fishermen’s Wharf.
