Housed in the original 1854 dairy farmhouse where Cow Hollow derives its name and situated behind the second oldest palm tree in San Francisco, Palm House opened in June of 2014 as San Francisco’s staycation destination, serving tropical food and vacation-inspired drinks.  It has always evoked a bygone era of tropical leisure in a relaxing and inviting setting in the heart of this bustling neighborhood.

Now celebrating over 11 years as a retro beach bum surfer hideout, Palm House’s vibrant atmosphere, delicious menu, and exciting events make this a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.
