Tin Angel, Restaurant and jazz club on Embarcadero, San Francisco, US
The Tin Angel operated in a converted warehouse at 981 Embarcadero, decorated with international collectibles and featuring both dining and entertainment spaces.
Founded in 1953 by artist Peggy Tolk-Watkins with financial support from Sally Stanford, the establishment operated until 1962 when the Embarcadero Freeway construction began.
The venue hosted performances by notable musicians including folk singer Odetta, Lizzie Miles, Turk Murphy, and Bob Scobey's Frisco Jazz Band.
Located where Greenwich Street meets the Embarcadero, opposite Pier 23, the establishment combined dining services with nightly jazz entertainment performances.
The owner, Peggy Tolk-Watkins, drove around San Francisco in a distinctive 1932 Ford sedan painted with pink and blue polka dots.
