San Francisco Gastropub
Located in downtown San Francisco Union Square, Urban Tavern is one of the best restaurants in San Francisco, featuring a gastropub menu and serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whether you want to enjoy a drink at our wine bar or catch up with friends over dinner, we have it all covered.
Our full bar features classic, contemporary and signature cocktails, while an extensive wine list showcases selections that are organic, bio dynamic or made from sustainably farmed grapes. But that's not all. The San Francisco gastropub menu, updated regularly, highlights contemporary American cuisine prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients - all sourced from here at home.
Urban Tavern's unique interior design is the creation of Donna Scala and Gensler Design. Signature highlights include a striking full-size horse sculpture by Arizona artist Doug Owen welded together from tractor, motorcycle and car parts - underscoring Urban Tavern's green sensibilities while juxtaposing old, new, rural and urban elements found throughout the restaurant. Also notable are the intimate booths, reclaimed wood beams and claddings, a communal table made from a recovered fallen tree, plaster walls, exposed concrete, a marble-topped bar and saddle-shaped bar stools.
Urban Tavern offers guests five hours of complimentary parking while dining at the restaurant - a perfect option for shoppers or pre-theater patrons in the Union Square area. Please see the Events and Specials page for the latest offerings at Urban Tavern.
