Iconic rotating restaurant in San Francisco spinning again 17 years after shutting down 

The Equinox was always a great place to take our out of town guests and usually was a memorable experience. Glad to see it running again.

Was built by the Herrick corp. in Hayward my dad had a hand in its build. Had many late night cocktails up there in the 80’s and glad to see it up and running again 👍

Wow finally, for me this probably is one of the best news in recent memories about San Francisco. 👍

THAT, is pretty cool!! Glad to see something from the past come back to life. 😁👍

I’ve been there my mom and dad placed a quarter on the windowsill and by the time we came back around there is three more quarters with it😊

Oh Wow I never knew there was a spinning restaurant! Hope this bring more businesses into SF.

The Equinox. I remember it well. The live music, the culinary experience, the presentations, the helpful and thoughtful servers, and the distinct decorations, such as the dozens of red roses. The late-night stroll in the adjacent park. Good times way back when the city was quite different than what it is today, unfortunately. The reopening of the restaurant shines like a ray of hope. City leaders have quite a bit of work to do to restore the essence of what SF once was. Small businesses are boarded up with some tagged by vandals directly across the street and just blocks away from the Hyatt Regency. Perhaps it'll take a new breed of leadership (no pun intended) to breathe new life, new stricter policies and accountability, to restore safety and once again attract new businesses large and small back to the city, along with much needed revenue including tourism, etc.. JMHO.

I had drinks with my friends there when it used to open to public. Really nice view from the restaurant.

I cannot wait to go!!!

The spinning Equinox restaurant. Seems like a thousand years ago. Back when San Francisco was the place we left our hearts, and not the place we left all sense of safety.

I dined at the Equinox with a friend 18 years ago it was awesome!

I’ve never been there I hope they open it for everyone soon.

San Francisco is a nice city, was there two weeks ago, didn't see to many homeless like fox news saying

I have always loved that place. I'm going back tomorrow.

Went there with my wife and her cousin from out of town during the Christmas season about 20 years ago.A great experience!

Wow nice, me and my wife went to the restaurant many years ago and had so much fun. 🙂

How fun!

The Equinox was a vibrant place. The Bay Area smooth jazz station KKSF 103.7, now plays 80's music, used to do Sunday Brunch there at the Equinox.

Love San Francisco...i miss it

I remembered my ex took me there many years ago. It was a memorable time. The views were beautiful. I'm glad they opened again.🎉🎉🎉🎉

I remember visiting this place in my youth. I’m glad it’s working again.

I had my dinner for prom at the Equinox. Never knew this existed until a friend told me. It was then a sight to see and hopefully they will restore it to it's former glory if not better.

Can they turn up the speed to 33 1/3 RPM? Whee!

I remember going there as kid with my family, and I not to long ago a guest at my job had asked me if you’re that place was still in rotation and and unfortunately I let her know that that place has been off the grid for some time now I didn’t realize that it had been 17 years. I’m so glad to hear the news especially that particular hotel is my favorite in the city

Yay!

I've been there on a date. Memories

People just love hate on SF !!! Haters gonna hate !

I remember going there when I was a kid when regular people could gi to nice places in sf. Now these places are just for the 1%.

Lol. A Dart motor controller? I forgot those existed!

We’re saved! We’re saved!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Had one of these in St. Louis and it was cool at night but don’t set anything down like a purse. You might be looking for it for an hour.

I like to take visitors up there to have dessert.

I used to go here in the 80s this is great!

I had no idea this restaurant stopped turning! Seems really odd and short-sighted that a business would let its main customer draw sit idle for 17 years. Not very smart!

I forgot it Spins.... Haven’t been in there since ( 2000 New Years Party )

I heard about that place.

Hey now! Hank Kingsley would be so proud.

I like being up there because it's really far away from the poop.

Well its not Bellini restaurant on the 45th floor but at least they're trying to reclaim some lost charm to the area.

As long as there is no earthquakes

it was about time !!!!!!!!!! but this hotel look so bad now inside

Your banner cut off parts of the picture I would like to have seen. ABC, do better.

it is too dangerous to go to downtown sf

2004 they wouldn't let me and my friends up for dinner because we didn't have a room... 👎

Too bad it is in San Fran

What a homeless encampment that would be.

The hotel entrance smells like piss, go figure.

Sounds like a nice place for me to smoke fent.

A 360 degree view of all the poop spots below,lovely just lovely

Cool…now we can witness the crime in a revolving restaurant.

San Fran. is saved! 🤣 Now they just need tourists to risk coming in to San Fran. You first.

They should open up the windows for a full-surround feces smell effect, pairs well with Chardonnay.

Now you can see the crime, homeless camps, and empty businesses in 360 degrees! (sarcasm)

Cool you can watch the homeless take a shit on the street and your car being broken into while you have a drink!

Be a great place to set up a tent community.

Now they can see garbage in 360 degrees

lmao looks like a jail

Gottta have that one “Token” in the group. 🤣

Build a better Bay Area? Just another playground for the rich. Better to see the homeless 360 while chowing down and getting high.

They can get a better view of the homeless camps.

"Build A Better Bay Area": That slogan is nothing but MORE Socio-Fascist Democrat Political Copremesis(period) !

~Thats Probably a Sign that a Big Earthquake is Coming to Shut it Down Again....

San Francisco's "Spiral Of Death" personified 🌀🌉☠
