Nestled just a couple blocks from the Transamerica Pyramid, Wayfare Tavern boasts a cozy, rustic vibe and serves up modern takes on classic American cuisine.
"Wayfare Tavern is a pub-like restaurant in the Financial District with flowery wallpaper, free popovers with every meal, and a taxidermied deer head on the wall. That’s all part of the charm, though, as is the fireplace burning brightly right under that deer. It’ll help you stay snug as you soak in the FiDi power lunch energy and dig into a fried chicken sandwich or burger with melty brie." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"Wayfare Tavern is one of the coziest places in the Financial District. It has taxidermied animals, William Morris wallpaper, and a big fireplace that will make you want to kick back and read a leather-bound Dickens novel. The food is a mix of classic tavern dishes from oysters to bone marrow, and comfort food - there’s mac and cheese and an incredible burger with melted brie - exactly the things you should eat to forget you just spent the better part of your day in an office." - will kamensky
"Restaurant relocating from 558 Sacramento Street to 201 Pine Street, reopening in late April 2025." - Dianne de Guzman
"Wayfare Tavern is power lunch central (it is in the Financial District), and another place serving free table popovers. This spot looks like a stately British pub that got taken over by the Y Combinator crew—suits and company logo vests abound. If that’s not your type of scene, at least there are those rolls, served with a little pot of salted butter. As for the dishes you’re actually paying for, go for the hefty fried chicken sandwich or juicy burger." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"A multi-floor event with different themes and bars on each floor. Includes seafood towers, a martini fountain, a disco floor, and a midnight Champagne toast." - Dianne de Guzman
