Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco Introduces New Bar Bites and Cocktail Menu at MKT Restaurant & Bar

Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco is raising a glass to the city’s storied past with the debut of a new Bar Bites & Cocktail Menu at its signature dining destination, MKT Restaurant & Bar.

Inspired by the transformative years between 1840 and 1920, when San Francisco flourished during the Gold Rush era into a hub of innovation and culture, MKT’s reimagined cocktail program serves as a spirited timeline of the city’s history. Each drink is named after a landmark event, neighbourhood, or figure that shaped the City by the Bay, with stories presented in the style of a vintage newspaper sub-headline. Guests can sip on inventive creations such as the Yerba Buena (a fiery ode to San Francisco’s rechristening in 1847), the First Edition (a tribute to Jerry Thomas and the origins of the egg white cocktail), the Tycoon Spritz (a nod to the lavish soirées of Nob Hill’s famed railroad magnates) or the best seller, La Misión (in honour of The Mission that still exists today, just down the street from locals’ favourite Dolores Park).

Complementing the cocktails, MKT introduces a new selection of elevated bar bites, blending comfort classics with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Highlights include the playful Hot Dog Tower, stacked with globally inspired toppings; the Ferry Building Flatbread, featuring rotating produce sourced directly from the Ferry Building Farmers Market; and Monterey Bay Calamari Fritto, paired with a zesty Santa Barbara uni aioli.

“San Francisco is a city built on creativity, resilience, and celebration, and we wanted our new menu to embody that spirit,” says General Manager Stéphane Gras. “Each cocktail tells a story, and each dish is designed to be shared, creating an experience that is both rooted in the city’s history and relevant to today’s vibrant dining scene.”

Set against sweeping views of Market Street, MKT’s warm wood tones, brass accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows create a sophisticated yet welcoming setting. By day, guests enjoy bright, bustling energy with approachable plates perfect for a casual lunch or client meeting. By night, the space transforms into a lively yet intimate destination, attracting tastemakers, couples, and creatives for a memorable evening.

The MKT Bar Bites & Cocktail Menu is now available daily from 3:00 to 10:30 pm.
