    Just follow the signs to discover the mysteries (some would say "character") of Vesuvio's basement, which is also home to the Men's Restroom. Watch your step!

  12. Second Floor

    Second Floor by Michael Ashley from the GigaPan Vesuvio Cafe - Interior by Michael Ashley

    One of Vesuvio's defining features is it that it is bi-leveled with great voyeuristic, birds-eye views of the adjoining Jack Kerouac Alley and Columbus Avenue outside, and all of the inside action happening downstairs around the well-worn bar.

    Henri Lenoir by Michael Ashley from the GigaPan Vesuvio Cafe - Interior by Michael Ashley

    The original owner of Vesuvio Café who made the bar what it is today. Born 1904 in Austria with big ambitions but few resources. Died 1994 in San Francisco, CA as a legend.

  14. Tony Lioce

    Tony Lioce by Michael Ashley from the GigaPan Vesuvio Cafe - Interior by Michael Ashley

    One of Vesuvio's favorite bartenders and father to Joanna Lioce, a waitress there. Like many of the bar's employees, Tony was also a long-time patron before working as one of its caretakers. He also is among the few barkeeps in town who start their shifts at 6AM when the bar opens, making Tony by default, a keeper of some Vesuvio's most unorthodox stories.

    Absinthe Served Here by Michael Ashley from the GigaPan Vesuvio Cafe - Interior by Michael Ashley

    Once outlawed in the United States for the hallucinogenic -chemical qualities of wormwood (one of its many herbal ingredients) that is the stuff of legend for inspiring creativity in artists (à la Vincent van Gogh), Absinthe is now legalize again and popular among Vesuvio's patrons.

  16. Bohemian Coffee

    Bohemian Coffee by Michael Ashley from the GigaPan Vesuvio Cafe - Interior by Michael Ashley

    Too spectacular to be served in a standard coffee mug, this warm beverage will make any stranger feel right at home in Vesuvio's Bohemian setting. It contains brandy, amaretto, and a twist of lemon.

  17. The Jack Kerouac

    The Jack Kerouac by Michael Ashley from the GigaPan Vesuvio Cafe - Interior by Michael Ashley

    Named after the Beat poet extraordinaire, this novelty house specialty cocktail consists of rum, tequila, orange and cranberry juices, and a lime wedge all sloshed in a bucket glass. The man himself was actually known to have preferred the cheapest red wine the bar served.
