Whitechapelsf

Cocktail-focused restaurant and the ultimate American destination for all things gin. Featuring the largest gin selection in the US & innovative food.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - In the heart of East London ...deep beneath the streets ... amongst the crumbling ruins of a long aban­doned Underground railway station ...something unusual is afoot. The fragrant smell of juniper mingles with exotic botanicals sourced from across the vast British Empire. The hiss of steam punctures the damp subterranean air, and the fires of distillation yield forth the wond

Hey there, Whitechapel lovers!

Thanks so much for giving us a holiday season to remember- hope you had a blast celebrating with us. It was a tough 2022 for us (and 2021..and 2020...), and as you know, it’s been a challenge for hospitality all over San Francisco. Our neighborhood has not rebounded in the way we’d hoped - so many local workers are still remote and nearby offices are barely occupied. Lower Polk businesses have been quiet and hoped-for new residential construction has been slow to be finished. All of which has left us in a sleepy part of town.

The winter months are not likely to see much improvement, either, so we’ve decided to operate as a private event-only venue from now through March of 2023 at which point we’ll see how things are looking. If you’ve got a group that wants to have a great time in a great space, we’d love to see you! We’re offering special rates, too - our previous minimum prices for select smaller spaces within Whitechapel will now get you the whole venue! We have great bartenders and kitchen crew ready to make your event one to remember!

Please email us at [email protected] to learn more!

Wishing you all a great 2023!

This weekend only, in honor of two full nights of $9 navy strength gin cocktails of your choice featuring navy strength gin.

At 57% alcohol by volume (ABV), navy strength gin is so known because it was a mainstay of the British Royal Navy. A warship’s gunpowder could still ignite, even if soaked in the spirit.

So keep your powder dry, or get drunk and throw caution to the wind! With navy strength gin, either way, you win!
