John P. Brennan born in Berkeley on January 16, 1890. His family had been in the area for generations. Michael Curtis, his grandfather, is the man for whom Curtis Street is named. There is a picture of Edward Brennan, Michael Curtis’ son-in-law and John Brennan’s father standing in front of a different, older Brennan’s (a brother’s establishment) on the West wall of the restaurant. He is the second gentleman from the right, wearing a vest with a pocket watch. Pictures of John Brennan, his wife and his children can be seen all around the dining room.
