Haight-Ashbury and the Panhandle

Buena Vista Park, the Panhandle, Haight Street pubs and breakfast, Kezar Stadium, Tank Hill and Sutro Tower

Haight-Ashbury and the Panhandle has 7 places on the map. It runs from Buena Vista Park along Haight Street to the Panhandle and the edge of Golden Gate Park, with Tank Hill and Sutro Tower on the hill to the south.

Haight Street is the spine. Magnolia Brewing sits at Haight and Masonic in a 1903 building that was a pharmacy and, in the 1960s, the Drogstore Cafe. Pork Store Cafe is at 1451 Haight Street, and Buena Vista Park rises at Buena Vista and Haight with oak groves and winding trails.

The Panhandle is a park three-quarters of a mile long and one block wide that runs from Stanyan and Fell Streets into Golden Gate Park. Kezar Stadium is on Kezar Drive at the park's southeast edge. Tank Hill, at Clarendon and Twin Peaks, and the 977-foot Sutro Tower are on the hill south of the Haight.
