- The World Famous Cliff House in San Francisco has been entertaining people since the 1860s. It closed during the pandemic but is now reopened as a temporary museum curated by the non-profit Western Neighborhoods Project: The Museum At The Cliff
This museum showcases all the area's history from Land's End to Naiad Cove and the Sutro Baths, Sutro Heights, Playland-At-The-Beach, and of course the iconic Cliff House itself, and all it's variations.
The Cliff House was a restaurant that welcomed the wealthy elite such as President Taft and Mark Twain, and was owned by Comstock Lode mining titan Adolph Sutro for a time, before the Whitney Brothers brought the property to tie into Playland down the Great Highway.

Hi Dylan, I was one of the docents there and am so happy to see your finished video. Your love and passion for the history really comes thru. Great job!
So glad you watched! Really appreciate the whole experience and you were all so great.
I'm a member of WNP and loved your enthusiasm for our shared history.
I'm one of the lucky ones that was able to enjoy Playland and Sutro's. I'm happy to see another generation of San Franciscans relate to history
Sooo many Van Raams passionate about San Francisco history :)
And you're all awesome!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed!
I have enjoyed the dinning since 60s...these young men have a true sense of appreciation for the land and history...it is a special place....
Thank you so much for an excellent job; I virtually grew up in Playland and remember all of the rides and the sight and sounds. An "It's It" was a dime and half again as big as they are today. I was at the beach that sunny afternoon when Sutro Baths had just caught fire and stayed the rest of the day as they worked to save Louie's. The old bar was great; a nice quiet place to have an affordable Irish Coffee and watch the waves.....The Cliff House was the place to go for a bite after Bay To Breakers...I still miss it. Thanks for your effort and for including the historical nuances. keep up the great work; it is people like you that keep us connected to a time when we seemed so much kinder to each other....Best to you....Bob and Elley
Playland was such a great place. Good food too like the pie shop, chicken range and the hot house for the very best enchiladas and tamales! Thankfully the city bought back the historic 1905 Charles ID Looff carousel that operated at Playland from 1913-1972. It now operates near the Moscone convention center at Yerba Buena Gardens!!!! 👍
Thanks for this narrated treat. I loved Playland, especially the Fun House. That museum of old music boxes and other things from playland below the Cliff House, was like a big nugget of gold to me.
The Cliff House!!!!
Man I was angry when I heard it closed. Never did their restaurant. Always wanted too.
I missed their classic arcade that moved.
Haven’t had the time to go. I plan to.
I never ate here either just passed by a lot and looked in. Regret not taking the time to actually sit down and eat
I wish there was a way to bring everything back to life. I really feel the history and all the other vibes that come from the area. It’s a Magical place, in my opinion… and I’m glad to see you share my enjoyment. Thanks for putting together such a great video, filled with fun and respect for
((The Cliff House)) as well as adjoining spots near by!
I plan on a visit, in the not too distant future.
Love the old photos and footage
So do I
That's awesome!!!! Love little pop up shops and museums. Love the old amusement park stuff
Heck yeah amusement park history is the best
I lived 5 minutes from The Cliff House from 1977 to the 1980's. Always went there with family and friends. It had the best breakfast menu. And the best hot chocolate. Perfect for those cold foggy days of S.F. Downstairs was a mess of an electric store for tourists. It was GREAT! Stuff everywhere! A wonderful mess of antiques and tourist crap! Unfortunate that a corporate entity took over and RUINED the unique restaurant that had attracted tourists and locals for decades. Very nice video. Wish I would have filmed some of my visits their and downstairs and into the camera building behind it.
I also wish I had some footage from before!
Super, super dope! I'm putting this on my list of places to visit when I finally make it out to Cali!
It's a must see area
I remember when Musee Mecanique used to be at the Cliff House, used to be scared to death to go there cause of Laffing Sal, one time I tried attempting to be brave and face my fear of laffing Sal, but I ended up running and screaming and crying once I saw her in one of the windows, it wasn't until it moved to Fisherman's ward that I started to not be afraid anymore of her, although I did feel a little bit of that adrenaline once I saw her again with my friends a few months ago, but yeah those are my Cliff House memories, mostly unpleasant and traumatizing memories.
This was an amazing history lesson...I was just looking to make a reservation since I haven't been here in 16 years. So imagine my surprise that it closed in 12/2020. Really appreciate all your info and especially your enthusiasm!
Great video! I want to visit the Victorian cliff house so bad, shame we can’t go back.
Seriously! Maybe in VR haha
So Dope Dylan...very nice history there. I always wanted to go there when the restaurant was there. It is nice to see it into a museum. I will definitely check it out. I thought I heard back in January they were going or trying to reopen the Cliff only the restaurant, Didn't know it that was truth or false. Great video Dylan.....and always nice to see Jett has well....Thank you guys!!
Thank you! And yes there are whispers of it reopening, so let's hope
Another great video! This was so cool to watch; I just hiked Lands End today! I didn't know anything about this place; awesome. Great edits, great work. It's now on my list.
Thank you dude! Sorry you didn't have the best weather too haha
I wish San Francisco would rebuild The Sutro Baths and as a modern day version of it
That would be pretty cool
I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of the Museum back in January :)
Everyone from WNP worked so hard to bring this to fruition.
Nicole Meldahl, you go girl!
I can tell, it's so awesome. Can't wait to see more from wNP
Thank you so much Dylan, for show casing all the updates. I appreciate it bro.
Heck yeah
When I was a kid and we first moved to SF we lived 2 blocks from Playland and We could hear laughing Sal all the time.
I went to playland in 60s I still remember driving up sitting in back seat 56 Belair....
Many share your love and passion keep the fire burning....Sheriff Seeyousoon Funtierland
The cowboy is awesome and I have seen a camera obscura before but not that big
It's so cool
I know it's a pipedream but just imagine if Playland, & Sutro bath house was remade to look the exact way they looked back in the 20s. It would be super popular
It's a shame the NPS did what they did. I was first there in 1967. My mother and I went there in 2017 and had an amazing dining experience.
❤
Bears are real I have done many projects in downtown sf excavating underground found several bear carcasses buried 1906 earthquake....
Mask?
