To our beloved Berbers:

With the heaviest of hearts, we're making the unbelievably hard decision to close Berber's doors indefinitely. Our last day of service will be Saturday, March 2nd, 2024. Despite our strong determination to remain one of the last live performing arts dining venues in San Francisco, the prospects of sustaining operations successfully through the rest of 2024 are bleak.

While mourning the end of a neighborhood restaurant is devastating alone, there's an additional pang of sorrow when a local theater announces its final curtain call. The duty of the former nourishes the body, while the latter feeds the soul — and sadly, the absence of both will be a resounding loss for our Russian Hill neighborhood. Closing this location hurts deeply.

We hope this graceful farewell of a five-year era — born from a passion project between two cross-cultural friends — encourages our communities to continue supporting local restaurants and paves a new wave of culinary and artistic innovators to take our place.

During our remaining days, we are committed to serving you with abundant joy and heartfelt gratitude — for without an audience, there is no performance art. And without you, our cherished phrase "Berber! Love!" would hold no meaning. As this month celebrates love in all its forms, we invite you and your loved ones to join us for our final performances — our February calendar is full of live multidisciplinary art to experience and be moved by.

With deep love and appreciation,
Tony & Borhen

Each Christmas season, we reflect on Berber’s evolution over the years. Our founding story began with an overseas friendship during a vacation in Tunisia. Some say Berber was born twice: imagined in North Africa and built in San Francisco. Dreams of a bohemian oasis filled with music, laughter, art, and dance — accompanied with damn good food. An untold sidenote: we had a choice between launching a luxury steakhouse or a North African cirque concept, and we’re glad the universe had a set plan for us.

Now in our fifth year, Berber has transformed beyond a live cirque show. We pioneered the Bay Area’s first Moroccan high-tea brunch. We sold camel burgers. Two years later, we asked: why couldn’t dogs have a 3-course meal while our patrons dine? After our MICHELIN award, we invited local home cooks to sell their creative menus to ignite their culinary dreams.

We say all this because it goes back to how it all started: how can we make the unbelievable so real, it’s almost ordinary?

On par with the magic of Christmas, it’s the excitement and anticipation of things to come. The joy of seeing the world in childlike wonder. We will continue with this spirit into 2024 and invite you all into our world.

On this blessed occasion, wishing the happiest of holidays to all.

We encourage diners to cleanse their palates with our satisfying wine pairing, curated for our last celebratory menu of 2023. Vegan/vegetarian options are available upon request.

Enjoy a complimentary glass of sparkling champagne as we count down the final hours into 2024 with our surreal balloon drop in our main dining hall. All paid guests are welcome to return at 11 PM to enjoy our DJ afterparty at no extra cost.

Follow along as we post about our performers the next couple days!

No winter blues here. Yesterday's Bone Jour's holiday sweater brunch brought all of SF's festive pups for a dining experience full of joy and well-mannered wagging tails — a natural serotonin boost for all our Bay Area neighbors this rainy season.

Fun fact: we sold the most puppy birthday cakes by this month — 20 in total. Looks like December holds the highest record for celebrating four-legged friends.

Missed out on the calmest dog social brunch in SF? Don't fret: Bone Jour will return in 2024.
