Scotty and Keenser having some drinks
The Port of San Francisco bar was an establishment near the San Francisco Ferry Building, a historical landmark located in the city of San Francisco on Earth. This bar, which was located on a pier, was visited by Montgomery Scott and Keenser in 2259 after the two of them had resigned from the USS Enterprise. Budweiser beer was one of the beverages available.
Captain James T. Kirk contacted Scott at this location after receiving a set of coordinates near Earth from John Harrison he wanted Scotty to investigate. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Background information
The name of this bar comes from a red neon sign, which was fastened onto the Ferry Building, that was visible to patrons visiting the bar that read, Port of San Francisco. Using visual cues from the movie, the bar was located on Pier 1, whose location in relation to the Ferry Building can be seen in this map. [1]
The bar scene was shot at Doheny Mansion; in-between takes, Simon Pegg and Deep Roy recreated the ending of There Will Be Blood, which was filmed in the same room as the bar. Port of San Francisco bar at StarTrek.com
To represent the outside of this bar's entrance in Star Trek Into Darkness, Production Designer Scott Chambliss improvised a set using an interior sound stage door with set dressing. (Cinefex, No. 134, p. 82)
