Jack's Restaurant, located at 615 Sacramento Street in San Francisco, is the second oldest restaurant in the city, having opened its doors in 1864. Known for its timeless charm and vibrant history, Jack's has been a favorite spot for businessmen, politicians, and celebrities to indulge in leisurely lunches accompanied by bottomless red wine and fresh sourdough bread. The restaurant's private dining rooms, once used as a bordello, now offer an exclusive and intimate setting for patrons, each named after notable regulars such as Herb Caen and Alfred Hitchcock.
Throughout its long-standing existence, Jack's has maintained a dark and smoky atmosphere, attracting a predominantly male clientele. The waitstaff, often described as cranky old men, and the walls adorned with hat hooks, add to the restaurant's nostalgic ambiance. Under the ownership of French-born chef Philippe Jeanty, Jack's operated as a brasserie, Jeanty at Jack's, until its sudden closure in May 2009.
