High Tide Cocktails 1971 T-Shirt

For nearly 50 years, the no-frills, all-business boozing destination in the heart of San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood has been a watering hole for all kinds of drinkers. From the topless portrait of the previous owner’s grandmother behind the bar and the doodled on dollar bill-covered walls to the stiff but cheap drinks and funky restrooms, High Tide Cocktails was a dive bar in every sense of the term. While the establishment changed hands over the years, the name and the divey ambiance remained, as did the revolving cast of mostly female Korean bartenders.
