Scope and content
In 1951 there were five taverns on Pacific Avenue between South 11th and South 13th streets. One of them was the Rainbow Tavern located at 1221 Pacific Avenue. The bar was crowded on this June, 1951, night with patrons at the counter and one woman intently playing on a shuffleboard bowling machine. According to the 1951 City Directory, the Rainbow Tavern was owned by Francis E. Bailey.
