About the 7 Mile House
Established in 1853, the historic 7 Mile House is a family restaurant, sports bar, and live music venue, serving up a unique mix of homestyle Italian/American/Filipino food. Located in the San Francisco/Bay Area for over 160 years, 7 Mile House is the only mile house left standing in its original location; and has a colorful history from its rebel days in the 1800s, to a trucker/biker hangout, and an infamous sports gambling joint in the 80s. Today, they are the most popular restaurant and bar in the neighborhood boasting great food, drinks, sports via satellite and live entertainment every single night
A Rich and Notorious History
7 Mile House was built circa 1853 as a stagecoach stop 7 miles from the San Francisco Ferry Building. It is proudly the Bay Area’s last ‘mile house’ left standing in its original location. Mile Houses, established in the mid 1800s, served as local post offices and old stagecoach stops where horses rested and were exchanged. Later, Mile Houses evolved into popular neighborhood watering holes, a Pony Express route, a hotel and, in some cases, even a brothel.
The 7 Mile House has stood as witness to some of San Francisco’s more colorful, albeit sometimes notorious, moments in history. It has been recorded that on August 6, 1876, young members of the Hayes Valley Gang, while on a criminal spree of thievery, assault and manslaughter in the Mission District, made a pit-stop at the 7 Mile House to harass passersby along the way. It was one of the events that marked the violent tradition of gangs and gang wars in Old San Francisco, and that inspired the terms “hood” and “hoodlums”.
During the Prohibition in the early 1920s, when the neighborhood now called Brisbane, was known for moonshining and bootlegging, the 7 Mile House became one of the few locations licensed to sell whiskey. Then more than 50 years later, 7 Mile House became well known for its rough atmosphere with truckers and bikers frequenting the establishment. In the 80s the bar later became popular for its large, tasty burgers served up by an elderly lady named Doris.
Later the 7 Mile House became infamous for its illegal sports gambling activities. Rumor has it that it was the largest operation of its kind West of the Mississippi with ties to overseas organizations until the FBI raided and arrested the accused. Today, 7 Mile House has transformed into the most popular dining and entertainment venue in the neighborhood boasting great food, drinks, sports via satellite and live entertainment every single night.

MY favorite memories of Valentines Day are when we were little and actually wrote each card to each classmate, they don’t let the kids do that anymore…
and also when my husband and i were dating and we always went to the Shorebird down the coast in Princeton for Valentine’s Day.

Hi. I’m not sure exactly how this tradition started, and we don’t do this every year but most years: for Valentine’s Day, we’d go to a store like Kohl’s or Walgreen’s as a family (three of us), find an appropriate card, whether funny or romantic, and “give” it to each other. “Give” really means, “awww, read this one.” For example, I might find a cutesy one and have my daughter read it. Of course, she’s a teenager, so soon it’ll be a reluctant trip followed by an eyeroll, but we still do it. 🙂

Last valentine’s my boyfriend took off early from work and made me an amazing meal. I didn’t realize he did this because he “had nothing planned,” I was in no rush to get home thinking nothing was happening that day and he ended up waiting for me for an hour! 🙁 All was forgiven though, we had an amazing meal and still had a great time!

My first Valentine’s name was Michael. He use to walk me to school every day when we were 8. On valentines day – he showed up with a bottle of perfume bigger than his hands could carry and a glass heart shaped ring from Anchor Drugs. I will always remember how special he made me feel. Thanks Michael if you are out there!!!

Our young Irish Setter, Kilty, swallowed a needle. We took her to the vet. He took x- rays and determined that it was moving through her system without harm, but we would have to bring her in for an expensive x-ray daily until she passed it. On valentines day, my husband showed me a shovel of poop and said ” happy valentines day, no more x-rays!”
