History

The site at 4146 18th Street formerly housed The Pendulum. [3] [4] Toad Hall's facade was restored in 2008, for the filming of Milk . [5]

The original Toad Hall bar was located at 482 Castro Street (now Walgreens) and was opened from 1971 until c. 1979. [6] The name Toad Hall was derived from the fictional home of Mr. Toad, a character in the 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. [6]
