Big Al's
Big Al's was one of the first topless bars in San Francisco and the United States since the mid-1960s. It was the first bottomless bar in San Francisco.[1] It is next to the Condor Club, where the strip-club phenomenon first started, and since 1991 claims to be one of the largest porn stores in San Francisco.[2]
Big Al's as an adult book store closed its doors in 2009, it was later replaced by a sandwich store and currently a cigar shop, both kept the venue's name and iconic neon sign. It still stands as a San Francisco landmark featured in several films and TV shows as well as postcards and touristic brochures.
