St. Mary’s Pub is a historic San Francisco “Repeal Bar” that has served as a community cornerstone since 1933. Located at the intersection of Bernal Heights, Glen Park, and the Excelsior, it offers a classic dive bar atmosphere with a modern craft sensibility. Known for its “friendly ghost” legends and its status as a San Francisco Legacy Business, it remains one of the most authentic neighborhood haunts in the city.
