Original Joe's, 144 Taylor St (between Turk and Eddy St), ☎ +1 415 775-4877 (info@originaljoessf.com, fax: +1 415 775-0435), [59]. 10:30AM-1:30AM daily. Joe's is a local institution, a Rat Pack dream of an Italian restaurant. The after-hours haunt of the theatrical and musical set in the 1950s and 1960s, Joe's fortunes fell with those of the surrounding neighborhood, and it's considerably frayed at the cuffs now. But the owner and staff maintain dignity through adversity — all the waiters wear tuxedos and are delightfully polite and thoughtful — and the tasty food in generous portions is probably the best meal you can find after midnight in SF, bar none. Reasonable prices, great service, oh-so-cool atmosphere — don't miss Joe's if you can. Unfortunately, in 2007, it closed due to a kitchen fire, and there are no plans to re-open. $10-$15 (''$4 well drinks'').
