Julie's
Supper Club, 1123 Folsom Street, was a staple on the South of
Market scene since its arrival in 1987. When the original Julie, Julie
Ring, left to pursue the now defunct Julie's Heart and Soul on Polk, her
spirit endured here until 2005. Longtime visitors will remember the portrait
of Natalie Wood that adorned the restaurant. Still others will remember
that the Symbionese Liberation Army held their captive, Patty
Hearst, in the basement here for a time in the 1970s. But all you
really needed to know to enjoy this San Francisco institution is how to
have a good time. That was easy at Julie's, with its consistently good
yet ever-changing menu of California cuisine, a '50s environment that
lent itself to socializing, and an excellent wine list. No wonder Julie's
was always on "hot" lists and survived the SoMa restaurant boom-and-bust
related to the dot com phenomenot.
