To this day it remains as an attraction for tourist from all over the globe due to its prime location in the heart of the touristic district of North Beach, and its highly recognizable neon sign. Big Al's also stands as a San Francisco landmark featured in several films and TV shows as well as postcards and touristic brochures.
