“The Peña Pachamama serves up what feels like the best of what San Francisco has long striven to be. Inside the Peña’s massive door, you’ll find the spirit of fun and adventure that dates back to the days of the Barbary Coast, which reveled not far from the Peña’s location in the North Beach neighborhood. There’s the sound of happy music, evocative of the time when nearby Broadway and Pacific Avenue housed clubs drawing both locals and tourists. There’s the attractive energy of international dance, showcasing the city’s dynamic diversity. There are delectable food and drink, for which San Francisco has been a dining destination for over a century. All of this under one roof in an historical location “ -Jeff Kaliss, -author and contributing writer for SF Chronicle, Oakland Tribune, Alta Journal
