Description

In 1945-46 Tommy’s Cafe was known as Harry Skow’s bar. Gladys Skow, Harry’s daughter, and her husband, Tommy Prather (behind the counter), took over the business, and it was called Tommy’s Cafe. It was a gathering place for coffee, conversation, and local news and gossip. It was in the same building that housed the Manuel Marcos Saloon at the turn of the 20th century. Mike and Terri Stott, two of Pinole’s most civic-minded and generous merchants, opened The Bear Claw Bakery in this building in 1982.
