The Pawn Shop

Walk into a historic pawn shop storefront in SOMA and meet the Pawn Master to trade an item with a story or personal significance for entry into one of San Francisco's top speakeasies. Behind that threshold lies an immersive Spanish and Mediterranean tapas restaurant built for mood, design, and social energy.

The award-winning team behind Beso created this concept blending culinary creativity with atmosphere, surprise, and genuine play. Choose from over 50 wines, 20 beers, and shareable Spanish tapas like buttery steak and tender octopus. The menu changes with seasonal inspiration.

Located at 993 Mission Street. Open Tuesday-Thursday 5pm-9pm, Friday-Saturday 5pm-10pm, closed Sunday-Monday. This hidden gem has earned its place among San Francisco's great speakeasies and hidden bars.
