Vesuvio's colorful stained-glass windows reminiscent of 1950s echo of SF's literary history, provide an unbeatable second-story view of the vibrant crux of Broadway and Columbus, to guests who want to drink where Kerouac & Co—'mad ones' once did. As colorful as the decor, the ambiance can be described as whimsical and inspirational as best, with old classics playing in the background and arty walls adding more allure to the interiors. You will usually find a mixed bag of writers, artists and tourists lounging around here with an 'eco-friendly drink'. A good place to linger over drinks while soaking in the eclectic and neighborly charm of this place.
