Starting this evening, San Francisco’s Union Square hopes to get a jolt of energy from two Bay Area notables: Michael Mina and Steph Curry.
That’s when the restaurant and bar from the acclaimed chef and the Golden State Warriors star — Bourbon Steak and The Eighth Rule — open to the public at the Hotel St. Francis.
“We want to bring community. We want to bring fun. We want to bring culture. That’s what San Francisco is about,,” Curry told the crowd gathered at a pre-opening celebration Tuesday.
The project represents a return to Union Square for Mina, who opened his eponymous first restaurant inside the St. Francis in 2004. For Curry, it’s his first bar and the family’s second partnership with Mina after wife Ayesha’s International Smoke restaurant pairing.
