The building that is out home has quite a history in Pismo. Built in 1926, it originally housed two merchants. The pillars in the middle of the main dining room were the dividing line.
In the ‘30s, both sides became the famous Waldorf Club, Pismo’s original night club. The large neon sign on the building today is the original sign. Locals and travelers alike could find a cocktail, pool game or dancing any day or night of the week.
On the Pomeroy side, the bar ran the entire length of the building, making it the longest bar in the county. Part of the original bar remains in a different location.
Our kitchen contained the bandstand and dance floor, and patrons could find restrooms in the Chinese restaurant next door. The famous Waldorf phone booth stood where the small coffee station is located now as you enter the bar area.
Our patio overlooks the Pismo Pier and the Pacific.
