Tryst Lounge

Friends,

It's been a long time since we've posted an update. After a few years of headaches and battles with the city of San Francisco we finally have all of our permits to open! The pictures below are just a sneak peak of what's to come.

The Tryst name is dead. We'll be opening with a new name and concept that we'll announce soon.

Thank you all for your continued support and interest. We hope to see everyone during our grand opening later this year!

Thank you!

Progress!!

“North Beach is one of the jewel neighborhoods of our country. It would be criminal for us to let it slip into obscurity. We need to maintain a climate of excitement here. We need more outdoor living, sidewalk living.” He bubbled on: “There are a lot of creative people here. We need to just get out of their way and let them do their own thing. We can’t hobble them with an unfavorable business environment. We can’t force them to delay and delay and delay their well-thought plans until they go broke.”

"Local opposition

There also was the disingenuous posture of the Telegraph Hill Dwellers, a group that likes to call the shots on its perceived turf. Rather than openly oppose the new building, the group's board called on the city "to develop design alternatives for the retrofit and possible expansion of the existing library," while members led the attacks against change.

Opponents persuaded the city's Historic Preservation Commission to give landmark status to the 1959 branch, a foolhardy move overturned by a 10-1 vote of the Board of Supervisors.

The most ardent foes then went to court once the project was approved in 2011, saying it hadn't been adequately reviewed under state environmental laws - and when a judge threw out the lawsuit, they appealed. A final verdict awaits, but the city was confident enough to begin construction of the new building in November 2012.

Among the early criticism was that the new library would extend 19 feet into the former path of Mason Street, giving it undue visual prominence.

Opponents are right that changes like this can disrupt sightlines and a city's sense of order. But the impact here is minor - this is a low structure in a wide-open setting - and when the public is inside this public building, the effect is magical."

How new North Beach library rewrites architectural rule book The exterior is assertive without being flamboyant; the reading room, in its own modest way, is one of the best interior spaces you'll find in a local civic building. A broad prow faces south, wedged between Columbus and Mason; inside it is the main reading room with ceilings as high as 29 feet, nat…
