Henry Africa aka Norman Jay Hobday

Creator of the fern bar -- via the San Francisco Chronicle. Although the title to this creation, a swanky and overdecorated type of establishment that catered to upscale singles in the late 1970s and early 1980s, is disputed by another San Francisco institution, Perry's, Africa holds the distinction to date. (The lemon drop martini was created in his place as well.)
