A San Francisco hofbrau holding down a Geary corner since 1947. Behind the counter a carver piles sliced meat onto a sandwich, and you pick the daily special by eyeing the plates. The walls are crammed with knickknacks and taxidermy under yellow bulbs, like a room where the clock stopped. A bar with a long beer list sits alongside.
