The Pour Guys bought the Tempest in 2010, just in time for The San Francisco Giants’ World Series win – quickly making it a mainstay for Giants fans. The historic bar sits adjacent from the San Francisco Chronicle building and has been a watering hole for local journalists, bike messengers, the after-work crowd and locals for decades. Opened in 1950, the bar maintains some of its old San Francisco vibe with vintage fixtures, brick walls and worn floors. The Tempest remains one of San Francisco’s last great dive bars, with modern touches from the team that make it comfortable with the right amount of grit. The Tempest is also home to Box Kitchen, which boasts some of the best bar food in the city. From pork belly potato skins to melon salad and our signature Box Burger, it’s worth a trip for the food alone. The Tempest is the perfect place to watch a game, shoot a round of pool, grab a beer and a shot after work or get a killer burger and garlic fries.
The Northstar Cafe has a long and colorful history in the Northbeach neighborhood of San Francisco. Since 1882, the ‘Star has been serving generations of residents, tourists and riff-raff. Once a speakeasy during Prohibition, the Northstar has had many different faces. A local restaurant run by the Lagomarsino Brothers serving union bosses, politicos, newspaper staff, cops and firemen.Laterm the Tomei Brothers ran it as a neighborhood saloon where anything could happen… and usually did. Since we took over in 1992, we’ve tried to maintain the special neighborhood feel while inviting tourists and local diners to join in the mayhem. We don’t serve any of that pesky food stuff, ‘cept for popcorn (solids are overrated), so you won’t have to mind your manners. But we will entertain you with a strangely functional and amusing staff, pool table, 6 HDTVs and a happy hour from 1 ’til 8 PM.
In the spring of 2013, the team took over Louie’s Bar and Grill – a Financial District favorite. A former whalers’ bar with roots dating back to 1930 Louie’s maintains its old school charm while combining enough class for a client lunch. Louie’s is a slightly more sophisticated version of its sister bar, the Tempest, though still maintains its dive bar DNA with exposed brick walls, long-standing regulars and unassuming vibe. The bar is also open until 2 AM, making it a late night favorite after much of the surrounding Financial District has closed up shop. Louie’s is also known for its menu. Former Michael Mina vet Stephen Crawford and the Pour Guys were determined to make the burger one of the very best in the city. Aptly named The Burger – topped with bacon bourbon BBQ jam, potato sticks, aioli and argula – it does not disappoint. Louie’s is the kind of bar that will become your go-to happy hour, lunch or post-work haunt.

Once upon a time (sometime in the 80s), a young gal from Cleveland brought his bar expertise to the San Francisco area, and an institution was born. Great drinks, friendly faces, awesome food, crazy times. Come down and say hi!
