Chef Tyler Florence's flagship restaurant is a timeless San Francisco tavern featuring authentic American dishes inspired by local cuisine at the turn of the 20th century. Ranging from classic comforts to rustic delicacies, the menu also features California wines by the bottle, quality draft beers, organic draft root beer and classic Victorian-era cocktails.
Exploring beyond the expected.
Upon entering Wayfare Tavern, a journey back to the early 1900's San Francisco begins. Every detail of the space, from the warm hearth of the fireplace to the William Morris wallpaper, was designed with the Barbary Coast and the turn of the century in mind. Wayfare Tavern brings a unique culinary vision and style to San Francisco, featuring authentic American dishes inspired by the city's restaurant scene of the early 1900's.
Designed For Excellence.
The reimagined Wayfare Tavern honors the nostalgia of the original space, while infusing a renewed energy that reflects the spirit of San Francisco in 2025. Elegant black, green, and white marble floors, paired with white oak paneling and tufted red leather and velvet booths, evoke the charm of early 1900s San Francisco. A striking gold leaf mural by DeGournay nods to the California Gold Rush and the Barbary Coast, while grand custom chandeliers—each with 21 lights—draw inspiration from turn-of-the-century European cafés.
