Twin Peaks

My partner and I stopped by at the Twin Peaks primarily because she couldn't face the trolley ride back downtown without going to the loo! When we went in it was obvious that this was a real neighbourhood bar but within about 15 minutes we were welcomed into the company of about 8 or 9 true gentlement who couldn't have made us feel any more at home. I wouldn't want to recommend this too greatly because I don't want it to change!!! Definitely one of the best bars we've been in over in the US.

Unless you have a wheelchair to take the clients home, keep walking to SoMa.

For gentlemen of certain age, we've known about the Twin Peaks bar virturally all our lives. It was, it is, and it will remine wonderful. There isn't much to it, a deck, a bar space, an upper loft, that it. But, so many wonderful gentlemen and Ladies have sat before those wide windows, and seen their generations go by, some with indifference, some with nostalgia, some with pride. Anyway you look at it, the Twin Peaks have been at the nexus of our social evolement, whether it be in the Village, or WeHo, etc., all come together at those wide windows. I'm glad I am here it see them, and I glad I was around when they went up.

WeHo doesn't have one, Fort Lauderdale's are not up to it, and NYC's Town House can't compete with the ambiance of Twin Peaks...When I am in town it is a must for a hot toddy.

I used to know the owner, in the 70's, I've often wondered is she is still there. She would come down to a woman's bar at 12th & Geary, called Peg's Place, to see one of the co-owners. Peg's Place was later bought by a former cab driver on disability. I don't know what happened to Peg's Place but it went out of business in the early 80's but Twin Peaks is still going. I remember the first time I walked into the Twin Peaks, I thought to myself how classy it was, all those windows and that beautiful shiny wooden bar. It had great drinks too and friendly people. Sounds like it is still the same as it was then, I'll have to come over for a drink sometime. It's been over 30 years since I was there last. Long Live Twin Peaks Bar!!!
