San Francisco – Fisherman’s Wharf: The Buena Vista – Plaque

The Buena Vista, at 2765 Hyde Street, was founded in 1916 when the landlord of a boardinhouse converted his first floor into a saloon to serve the hundreds of fisherman and handlers who worked for a nearby Sardine Cannery. But it was in 1952, when then-owner Jack Koeppler challenged international traveler write Stanton Delaplane to help recreate a touted drink served at Shannon Airport in Ireland, that it received broader acclaim. After unsuccessful tinkering, a subsequent overseas scouting trip, and cream aging advice (48 hours for ideal floating) from San Francisco’s Mayor George Christopher, America’s first Irish Coffee was born. The same recipe, poured into a six-ounce heat-treated goblet, has been used ever since.

The Irish Coffee, a hot cocktail made of coffee, Irish whiskey, and sugar, stirred, and topped with thick cream, was invented by Joseph Sheridan, a head chef at Foynes Port, a precursor to Shannon International Airport, in County Limerick Ireland. Sheridan conceived of the drink to warm up a group of American Passengers disembarking from a Pan Am flying boat on a miserable winter evening in the 1940′s.
