The list compiled here below on this page is a random registry of places that I could think of that have left San Francisco since I arrived in the late 1980’s. Some of these were just neighborhood spots and dives, some were well known or iconic semi-legendary locations in biz for decades, some neither…but they all existed at some point before closing within the past three decades of my time spent here in town.

I was partly inspired by the San Francisco Remembered Facebook group which gives people space to share their memories of an ever changing city by the bay, as well as the interest in the SF89 doc. 

Several entities namedropped on the list were only here briefly, maybe mere months, perhaps being opened in a cash flush whimsy during the early 21st century, others may’ve been here serving a neighborhood for generations before the owners retired or were priced out by a rent gouging landlord. The only common denominator between them all is that they’re all shuttered, moved on and gone from their once visible presence in their original locations on our ever morphing San Francisco city streets.

Having lived, played, wined, dined and wandered the Streets of San Francisco since the late 1980’s, now a period spanning some thirty years, I’ve seen many a local business come and go in three decades, and a fair number of national chains fold as well. These here are pretty much all that I can recall and many I never even frequented but still they have left traces I could glean documented in biz tax registries, old tourist guidebooks or newspapers.

I compiled much of this list initially from memory one day, then curiosity piqued, I began researching the topic more earnestly, and began looking in old photos, advertising circulars, flyers, magazines and other publications. (special thanx to the San Francisco neighborhood newspaper collection at the Internet Archive curated by Found SF / Internet Archive as well as the invaluable SFPL historical online photo collection like the Robert Durden Color Slide Collection at San Francisco Public Library Historical Photograph Collection), the Max Kirkeberg photo collection from SFSU,  current scene blogs like Mission Local and Capp Street Crap , pics from Yelp users, and the wonderful treasure trove of historical San Francisco minutiae available at  OutsideLands.org ) .

While, by no means, is this page a complete record of business entities that are gone from San Francisco since the late eighties, it is a failrly wide swath of prominent and not so prominent SF sites that fled or gone belly up. It has taken me many days and hours to steadily add and randomly build a loose list of local retailers & restaurants, union halls, churches, funeral parlors, buildings, vacant lots and businesses of all sorts that have been replaced since I got here in January 1987…

Most are likely restaurants, as those seemingly come and go at the quickest pace, but there are plenty bars, nightclubs, boutiques and shops, as well as hotels, theaters, services, whole structures, or types of businesses, schools, and non-profits that’ve all disappeared…

Unfortunately for the serious researcher, these entries are not grouped alphabetically, chronologically or logically in any way. They were added as I thought of ’em…There is no systemic database here, nothing sorted by street address, neighborhood or category, they’re just random revelations usually separated by single hyphen dash. If a slash separates a name in an entry, that means I can recall or found evidence of a different tenant or iteration at the same physical street location between 1989 and 2019 as in Chatterbox/Club Chameleon at 853 Valencia (now Amnesia)

… I generally left the current biz operating at the site off these listings, as they are just the extinct business, not the current tenant, except occasionally mentioned in photo captions to familiarize people of the address.

Enjoy scrolling the names and see if they wake up any of your 80’s, 90’s or early 2000’s memories of faded or forgotten San Francisco Remembered…

Please leave your favorite San Francisco spots that you recall that I maybe forgot about in the comments!

Do it yourself historian Trevor Hailey arrived in San Francisco in 1972 on a U.S. Navy ship and was in no hurry to leave, inspired by Shirley Fong-Torres Chinatown walking tours, by the late 80’s she began conducting personalized walking tours of the Castro. For the better part of 2 decades she shared her knowledge of the largely gay community, and was written up all over the world by travel writers and garnered attention from news outlets including CNN.
