Red's Java House, Pier 30
Squatting in the shadow of the Bay Bridge, Red's has somehow escaped unscathed from a San Francisco of another time. Here dockworkers and dot-comers share outdoor picnic tables and $3 will get you a coffee and a cheeseburger- a real cheeseburger with real cheese, not some fast food imitation. Honest and no-frills, Red's is a place where sweaty cooks quickly serve up unpretentious food with unpretentious drinks. Beer is a buck and espresso is nowhere to be seen. Named after a former owner, an Irish boxing coach, Red's has been around since 1923.
