THE BAR PICCINO STORY

Our cocktail Bar and lounge - Bar Piccino - is the newest addition to the Piccino family and is politely nestled next to the main Piccino restaurant on Minnesota Street.

Its arrival has been much anticipated, as we began to envision it back in 2018, when we were able to purchase a full liquor license for the Piccino restaurant.  During the time it took to design and prepare the space, the pandemic hit, bringing everything to a distressing halt. Plans changed, and time flew by…Fast forward to August 2022, and we finally opened our beloved Bar Piccino in a beautifully converted space. 

The inspiration is the same as the one for the restaurant: flavors that reflect the seasons, with a backbone of marvelous spirits that are the result of decades (or millennia in some cases!) of spirit craftmanship. Bar Piccino also offers a delightful menu of small bites & pizzas that complement changing cocktail offerings!

Our vision for Bar Piccino is one where said craftmanship leads and shines.  Spirits—such as Mezcal—are extraordinary for the care, time, and painstaking methods of preparation.  The drinks, as they are ultimately presented in the glass, are harmonized with herbs, fruit, and botanicals that highlight balanced flavor profiles and visual appeal… after all, we eat and drink with our eyes first!

WHAT WE BRING TO THE TABLE

Bar Piccino offers a range of uniquely crafted drinks, including a well-rounded Negroni menu, mezcal flights, a tantalizing non-alcoholic cocktail selection, Oyster Sundays, and an annual Pig Roast.

Simultaneously indulge in an array of fresh small bites and delectable pizza options curated by our Executive Chef, Daniella Banchero. We source the majority of our fresh ingredients from our own farm in Healdsburg, CA - and if it’s not in season, you won’t see it on our menu!

Located just minutes away from San Francisco's Chase Center, Bar Piccino is an ideal spot for a drink and bite before or after a concert or Warriors basketball home game. Situated in the heart of the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco, the bar is conveniently close to the T-3rd Street light rail and the 48 Quintara/24th Street Muni bus line.
