The Condor Club, Big Al's, Roaring 20's, and the Hungry Club lit up at night, September 1983

Big Al's was one of the first topless bars in San Francisco and the United States since the mid-1960s. It was the first full nudity bar in San Francisco.[1] It is next to the Condor Club, where the strip-club phenomenon began, and as of 1991, it claimed to be one of the largest porn stores in San Francisco.[2]

The adult book store closed its doors in 2009. It was later replaced by a sandwich store, and is currently[when?] a cigar shop. Both businesses kept the venue's name and iconic neon sign. A San Francisco landmark, the site has been featured in several films and TV shows, on postcards, and in tourist brochures.
