ABOUT THE VENUE
The Lone Star Saloon first opened its doors in 1989 on the corner of Howard and 7th. On October 17, 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake struck. The bar, only 6 months old, was rendered unsafe and had to be demolished. Like a proverbial phoenix it rose up at its current location at 1354 Harrison St. The space, with its ample main room, nooks, crannies, and soon-to-be legendary patio, appealed to the biker crowd that previously made The Ambush — the notorious leather bar once located directly across the street — their HQ. The leather/biker crowd soon began to merge with the bear scene, which was gaining its momentum as the Lone Star settled into its permanent home. The Lone Star has been open for business and serving bears ever since.
Most recently, the bar has been purchased by two of the longtime bartenders Bruce and Charlie. Bruce and Charlie, as well as their crew, are determined to make you comfortable and show you a good time.
