You certainly remind me that art is everywhere. Admittedly, I’m more of a cafe (versus bar) person but you have me wanting to go to bars and drink (soda) and see art and people watch. Nice write-up on an interesting topic!

Wolo (Baron Wolff Erhardt Anton George Trutzschler von Falkenstein) painted the cute creatures holding beer steins in the entrance. The late puppeteer/newspaper caricaturist/children’s book illustrator did murals throughout the Bay Area including the now defunct Hippo Hamburgers. He lived in North Beach 1930s-80s and for a time ran a portrait studio on Grant called Happy Things.

I love this post! Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video and interview a wonderful artist getting by in one of the most expensive cities on the planet. The Vesuvio is an institution and it’s so nice to hear that drinking there supports our creative community. Bottoms-up!
