SYMPOSIUM: The Smooth and Creamy History of The Fern Bar - SOLD OUT
Presented by Martin Cate
July 14, 12:30 PM, Grand Ballroom East Salon
The Fern Bar is a now much-maligned but important part of the history of American Taverns. From its humble beginnings in San Francisco at Henry Africa’s in 1970, it launched a style and concept that was to spread nationwide, be widely seen in film and television, and lead to international chains like TGI Friday’s. Fern Bars had their own culture, atmosphere, and drinks—the fern bar is credited by some as the birthplace of the lemon drop, and was home to the Harvey Wallbanger, wine spritzer, tequila sunrise, and lots of drinks with ice cream.
Much of the iconography and style of the Fern Bar was the result of one man, Norman Hobday who, like a latter-day Don The Beachcomber, created a wholly new concept based on the idea that bars should be inviting and comfortable like your grandmother’s living room. Much like Don before him, he adopted a persona (“Henry Africa”) and even shared Don’s penchant for Safari Suits. Martin Cate was the last person to interview Hobday before he passed away. In this fun-filled seminar, you’ll discover one of the great eccentrics of San Francisco, take a sexy look back at a cultural phenomenon, and feel its continued impact. We’ll study the drinks of the era...so prepare to drink cocktails that will challenge your concept of “good.” And enjoy some smooth music while you mix and mingle with some groovy singles—you just might meet that special someone. Polyester attire strongly encouraged.
