Tertulia is visiting us again in San Francisco to offer us a supreme musical treat for Mother's Day at Town Hall.

On Sunday, February, 25, 2018, Tertulia will be returning to San Francisco to present Decoda, the Affiliate Ensemble of Carnegie Hall at our favorite restaurant in town -- Town Hall. Sunday night's performance is Decoda's San Francisco debut!

The program will include the beloved Clarinet Quintet by Johannes Brahms, and will start with David Bruce's Gumboots -- a work composed in 2008, that has been performed and championed by Decoda all over the world. The work, also a clarinet quintet, was inspired by South African gumboot dancing.

Join the gang for an evening that offers up all the festivities you would want out of an event that encourages indulgence: tickets include bottom-less Louisiana style hurricanes, Abita beer, Leblon Caipirinhas and our all-you-can-eat Southern specialties, such as fried chicken, jambalaya, gumbo, BBQ shrimp and oysters. There will be live music as well as Samba dancers and face painters.

Join Us! August 18th at 6:30 as we welcome the team from Brown Estate in Napa Valley. Brown Estate is truly a family affair. The property was purchased by their parents in 1980 and planted to vinifera grapes. In 1995, the ‘kids:’ Coral, Deneen and David, got the notion to make their own wine. 2016 marked their 20th vintage! Today, they make gorgeous, layered and complex wine that show the superiority of Napa Valley with the elegant hand of restraint.

Guests will be greeted with a welcome cocktail followed by pairings led by the Knob Creek West Coast American Whisky Ambassador.

Why Knob Creek.............? Crafting a bigger, fuller experience: Knob Creek is a bourbon crafted from passion. From patiently aging the whiskey to achieve its signature full flavor to selecting the best barrels in the rickhouse, every detail is carefully considered to ensure the bourbon going into the bottle is as big as and flavorful as Booker Noe meant it to be.

Why Ham.............? Town Hall focuses on commitment to quality, artisanal farmers. We are sourcing the hams from the top farms in Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina. They are each aged for upwards of 18 months. Barrel and Fare brings the two worlds together by focusing on similarities in process and craft, we highlight the shared values, flavors and techniques that make Knob Creek and ham pairing a perfect match.

Featured Hams:
Finchville Farms, KY
Johnston County, NC
Benton’s Smokey Mountain, NC
The Hamery Tennshootoe, TN

Join us for our Spanish themed summer celebration on the patio and adjoining plaza.

The perfect way to celebrate the end of the foggy summer month of July.......come join us every last Friday of the month at this fun-filled gathering featuring culinary delights from Chef Esteban Escobar and local brew from Simpleton.

Walt and Joan Flowers, who were originally in the nursery business in Pennsylvania,
had long dreamed of combining their love of wine with their passion for agriculture.
Their common love for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir eventually lead them across country
to Northern California’s rugged Sonoma Coast.
Perched on top of soaring coastal ridges that border the Pacific Ocean, Flowers’ estate
vineyards were some of the first planted on the “extreme” Sonoma Coast . Flowers
vineyards rise up just two miles from the rugged Pacific Ocean cliffs at elevations of
1,150 to 1,875 feet.  The maritime breezes and coastal fog cool the vineyards during the
heat of summer allowing fruit to fully mature with fresh, complex flavors and lively
acidity.
Today, Flowers Winery produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from its two estate
properties, Camp Meeting Ridge Vineyard and Sea View Ridge Vineyard, as well as
select vineyards in the coolest regions of the Sonoma Coast AVA. These wines are
elegant and refined and serve as a benchmark for Burgundy varietals in California.

Join us for another special Happy Hour edition at Town Hall, featuring selected beers and wine at Happy Hour prices and house-smoked honey-glazed ham served 3 ways with delectable sides dishes.
Another fun event to round out your week. Not to be missed.

EVENT CANCELED

we apologize for any inconvenience, but we had to cancel this event at this time, but may announce a different date in the near future.
