Located on Porter Street in the sunny southeast part of San
Francisco, this former Carriage House has a colorful past. Once a
Speakeasy during Prohibition, it was later purchased and remodeled
by a Merchant Marine who lovingly created an atmosphere reminiscent
of a ship.

No cable cars, rail lines, trains, fire stations or other noise
making machinery are nearby, making this a quiet location in a
bustling city. There is plenty of street parking in this area, no
permits required and no restrictions on length of stay, once you
park your car.

Excellent nearby public transportation makes this ideal for those
who are reluctant to drive the steep hills and one-way streets of
San Francisco. The #23 bus line is a few doors down and will take
you to either Mission Street or the Glen Park BART Station. The
Carriage House is located a 10 minute walk from Mission Street where
there are buses to downtown connecting to just about any part of the
city. Bernal Height’s main shopping district, Cortland Avenue, is
four blocks away and contains numerous shops, restaurants, video
stores, grocery stores, deli’s, laundromat, bank, bars, library and
much more. Be sure to take a walk down Cortland and enjoy all this
busy street has to offer.The Farmer’s Market is held on Saturdays,
just down the hill - farmers from the central valley come to sell
their produce, flowers, herbs, chickens, seafood, honey, nuts and
breads. Arrive early to buy the freshest ingredients!
