On the surface, Johnny Foley’s looks like a standard Irish pub, with a labyrinth-like set-up of booths and menu of fish & chips and Guinness. In reality, Johnny Foley's is the downstairs piano bar where rotating players play classic covers from Elton John to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Union Square basement bar is mostly filled with tourists, and the piano players will probably play any song you request. Growing up Johnny loved to sing he had a “tenor” Irish voice which you do not see too often anymore. He arrived by ship from Ireland to New York in the late 50’s and never looked back. He made his way to San Francisco and was very much a part of the Hippie movement and The Summer of Love.
