Recently, Facebook announced it would be deleting ‘Live’ videos from its platform and invited downloading them before deletion.
This is one of those video – originally streamed ‘live’ from a now defunct Grant & Green on Grant Avenue in San Francisco’s North Beach.

Grant & Green is today April Jean, featuring delicious cocktails and speciality beers and wine.
