San Francisco’s dining scene continues to flourish with several exciting new openings this week, showcasing a blend of innovative concepts and beloved classics.
Down on Pier 70 in Dogpatch, Standard Deviant has opened its new brewery and taproom today, becoming a pivotal part of Building 12 in a forthcoming mixed-use development.
This spacious industrial taproom exhibits the brewery’s production process while offering more than 20 beers on tap.
Standard Deviant will maintain its original location on 14th Street in the Mission, ensuring that fans of their brews can still enjoy their offerings from the familiar spot.
Additionally, Asian-American bakery Breadbelly is set to join the Pier 70 complex later this summer, adding yet another culinary dimension to the vibrant area.
Meanwhile, renowned restaurant SPQR is poised to launch a new raw bar menu next week, according to chef-owner Matt Accarrino.
This menu will feature an array of seafood delights including caviar, seafood cocktails, and crudos, alongside unique offerings like hush puppies and shellfish doughnuts that have been well-received since being introduced during the pandemic.
The raw bar will complement a variety of beverages, including spritzes, and provide an option for patrons looking for a casual stopover for drinks and smaller bites alongside the restaurant’s traditional a la carte and prix fixe selections.
For those looking for a rooftop dining experience, Cubita has officially opened tonight as a new Cuban-themed concept in the space formerly known as El Techo, above Lolinda.
The venue maintains its familiar charm while sporting new Havana-inspired decor, black-and-white concrete tiles, and a photo booth at the back.
Ceviche, flaky empanadas, and a cocktail menu highlighting mojitos and daiquiris are just a few of the offerings that promise to tantalize guests.
In Japantown, Michelin-starred restaurant 7 Adams, led by chefs David Fisher and Serena Chow Fisher, has introduced a new seven-course tasting menu priced at $127 per person.
This new experience builds on the existing $87 five-course menu, providing diners with an enhanced culinary journey that includes a salad, caviar and crudo courses, a pasta course, and a fish entrée before culminating in a main protein and dessert.
Additionally, Gott’s Roadside has expanded its offerings with a new cookie counter at the Ferry Building, now featuring Gott’s Cookies & Milk.
This new venture, located behind their main restaurant and adjacent to their soft-serve counter, presents four cookie varieties and three options for dipping milk, enticing visitors to indulge.
In other news, two queer bars in San Francisco are undergoing ownership changes.
The Cinch, located on Polk Street, will see a small remodel but is expected to retain its original charm under new ownership.
Trax, on the other hand, will evolve into Mary’s on Haight, a straight-friendly gay dive bar, with hopes of launching in time for Pride Weekend.
On a sad note, Fog City, formerly known as Fog City Diner, has closed after a remarkable 40-year run, leaving locals hoping the iconic space will return to life soon.
Lastly, Barrera’s Cocina Mexicana has opened its doors in Cole Valley, taking over the former CreoLa space at 900 Stanyan.
Led by Salvadoran chef David Barrera, the restaurant serves a variety of traditional Mexican dishes including birria, enchiladas, tacos, and aguachile, and is open daily to satisfy cravings for authentic flavors.
While this week did not see any new restaurant reviews from the Chronicle, food enthusiasts are encouraged to stay tuned for future updates on San Francisco’s vibrant culinary landscape.
