18 Reasons: Frede Pop-Up

We are incredibly excited to kick off our first ever Pop Up Residency featuring Frede! Frede is the new concept from Gaby Maeda and Blake Cole – the magnificent duo behind the beloved Oakland queer bar, Friends and Family. Their new concept is all about fostering queer celebration, savoring elevated and inspiring food, and moodlighting and decor that leave you fondly nostalgic before the night has even concluded. As Gaby and Blake seek their permanent home for Frede in San Francisco, we are honored to have them transform our space and build the hype and intrigue for what is bound to be another iconic SF restaurant. For the first of three Frede events, Chef Gaby will showcase her signature blend of seasonal, creative dishes that combine the flavors of Hawaii and the Bay Area in a way that only she can! Carefully crafted, paired beverages by Blake will be available for sale. You will be one of the first to enjoy the magic of Frede! Welcome Beverage – It’s a Surprise! N/A option available!
