About Owl Tree

Owl Tree is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Welcome to the Owl Tree, one of San Francisco’s most beloved hidden treasures. Originally known for its kitschy interior and surplus of owls, it was run by Bobby Cook for over 30 years. In 2008, the Owl Tree was given a fresh look and new life.

The beautiful dark Mahogany bar, rich red carpeting, cozy black leather booths have transformed the Owl Tree into a beautiful, classy corner bar, with just enough owls to pay homage to its previous incarnation
