Sentilles quotes Taylor's description of Pfaff's as a place where "mild potations of beer and the dreamy breath of cigars delayed the nervous fidgety, clattering-footed American hours." Taylor was a regular in the bohemian circle.
Sentilles notes that Twain compared Pfaff's to the San Francisco bohemians who called themselves "companions of the jug."
