Step into Zam Zam and you're stepping back to 1941. Opened by Assyrian-born Samson Mooshei as the Persian Aub Zam Zam, this Haight Street legend is famous for its distinctive Persian Art Deco interior. While the world outside has changed, the inside has remained largely the same for over eighty years.
It's a dive-bar legend known for serving some of the city's best martinis in a setting that feels like a time capsule. It's the perfect spot to escape the modern bustle and enjoy a classic cocktail in a space that refuses to fade away.
