Harrington's Bar & Grill

What Harrington's Bar & Grill does

Harrington's Bar & Grill is a historic Irish pub and restaurant located at 245 Front Street in San Francisco's Financial District, originally founded in 1935 by Henry and Leo Harrington. After a period of closure, the venue was reopened in 2024 under REDCO Harrington's LLC, affiliated with the Tonic Nightlife Group, and operates as a single-location concepts with approximately 6 direct employees. The business serves three primary customer segments: Financial District professionals on weekdays, corporate and conference groups tied to the nearby Moscone Center event calendar (Dreamforce, RSA, GDC, JPM Healthcare Conference), and tourists and private event hosts. Three distinct event spaces (The Dark Side, The Light Side, and The Patio) support full venue buyouts for up to 200 guests, with corporate event packages starting at $5,000 for groups of 100+.

Revenue is generated through two principal streams: everyday food and beverage service (Irish-American pub fare priced at $15-$20 per main course, a full bar with Guinness, Irish whiskeys, and cocktails, plus twice-daily happy hour) and private event hosting (corporate events, group dining, venue buyouts, and block party programming). The company markets aggressively through content (20+ blog posts targeting conference cycles and sports calendars), social media, earned media in SF Chronicle/SFGate/SF Business Times, and a recurring event series including St. Pat's on Front St, Halloween, Fleet Week, and Oktoberfest. Strategic partnerships with BXP (property owner), the Mayor's Office, and OEWD position the venue within the city-backed Front Street Entertainment Zone revitalization initiative.

The business operates with no proprietary technology platform, no mobile app, and no API integrations disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via walk-in service, Resy reservations, and website-driven private event inquiries. Operating hours are Monday-Friday 10am to midnight, with weekends reserved for private events. The parent company is REDCO (Tonic Nightlife Group), and there are no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or public shareholders.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• The Battery: Private members club and event venue in San Francisco offering food, beverage, and large-scale private event hosting. Comparable as a downtown SF private-events competitor — particularly for higher-end corporate buyouts — even though it operates under a membership model rather than public walk-in bar service.

Broad incumbents

• Local Edition: Cocktail bar and live-music venue in the Hearst Building basement in San Francisco's SoMa/Financial District fringe. Competes with Harrington's for the after-work and private-event crowd in the broader downtown SF market, with a wider beverage and entertainment focus.
• Pagan Idol: Tiki-themed bar in San Francisco Financial District serving strong bar and cocktail business to downtown professionals and tourists. Overlaps with Harrington's on after-work bar traffic, group events, and themed-venue positioning in the same neighborhood.
• Trader Vic's: Iconic themed restaurant and tiki bar with a San Francisco presence, offering full food and beverage service plus private event hosting. Comparable as a destination SF venue competing for tourists, group dining, and corporate events in the broader on-premise hospitality market.
• House of Shields: Historic San Francisco bar in the Financial District offering full bar service and casual dining. Comparable downtown SF bar positioning with broader programming than a single-identity Irish pub, competing for similar professional and after-work foot traffic.

Emerging players

• Bluestone Lane: Café and all-day bar concept with a San Francisco presence that combines casual daytime food and beverage with an evening bar offering. Comparable as a modern, design-forward food-and-beverage concept competing for some of the same downtown daytime and after-work customers.

Direct peers

• Royal Exchange: Financial District bar near Harrington's, offering bar service, casual food, and event programming for downtown professionals and visitors. Co-hosts the St. Pat's on Front St event, indicating directly adjacent positioning and overlapping customer base.
• Schroeder's: German-themed pub and restaurant on Front Street in San Francisco's Financial District. Same block, similar casual pub fare and bar service model, and an explicit co-host of Harrington's St. Pat's block party, reflecting very close competitive and conceptual overlap.
• The Irish Times: Long-running Irish pub on Front Street in San Francisco's Financial District, steps from Harrington's. Same Irish pub positioning, similar corporate-event and walk-in customer base, and operates in the same physical block, making it the closest direct competitor.
• Patriot House: Irish pub in San Francisco's Financial District area, offering comparable Irish-American food and bar service to downtown professionals and tourists. Competes head-to-head for the same lunch, happy hour, and sports-viewing customer segments.
