Part of Beach Chalet, LP
If you are standing with your toes in the sand on Ocean Beach, or driving on Highway 101, look east towards Golden Gate Park and you will see the Beach Chalet. The Beach Chalet is a Spanish colonial revival style, historic landmark that has gone from gleaming eatery called the Golden Gate Park Chalet, built by Willis Polk in 1925, to Army headquarters to dangerous dive bar to now, a renovated upscale restaurant with unimpeded ocean views.
Frescos depicting real people and scenes from San Francisco in the 1930s were painted by Lucien Adolphe Labaudt in 1936 and line the first-floor walls. The Beach Chalet sits above the frescos, up a carved banister, with octopus, sea maidens and fish, to a second story with windows that span the entire bar and dining room. The view of the Pacific, and its glimmering sunsets, is amazing.
