About us

The Original Columbus Cafe

Welcome to the original Columbus Cafe, a historic parlor located in the center of San Francisco’s North Beach District at 562 Green Street. Columbus Cafe was purchased in 2020 by 3 long time employees Beka Woods-Kennedy, Ben Morrison and Will DeVault of the bar. Their goal was to keep this legacy bar alive!

Established in 1936 to serve the waterfront’s Longshoremen the Columbus Cafe has been a long standing tradition for locals and guests of San Francisco. We are top of the list with 21 different micro brews on tap. The Columbus Cafe has the best happy hour in San Francisco offering $7 premium cocktails and two for one chips on select beers 4-7pm M-F. (Not Available until Covid is over, thank you for understanding)

Open 365 days a year, with our two biggest celebration days being St. Patrick’s Day and the North Beach Festival. Columbus Cafe also has a separate full service bar downstairs that is available for private parties and functions. Cheers!
