Take a legendary San Francisco cocktail with roots in Peru; add cutting edge tapas by Nuevo Latino trailblazer James Schenk; and serve them up in a cool, yet thoroughly hot, setting by one of the Bay Area’s top restaurant designers and you get a vibrant, sexy lounge like ones usually found in Barcelona or Buenos Aires.   

 With its 26 foot long ebonized bar and Italian marble flooring, Pisco Latin Lounge is the first pisco bar in the United States; drawing its spiritual inspiration from the historic Bank Exchange Saloon where “Pisco Punch”, was invented in the early 1900s. However, PISCO is decidedly not an exercise in nostalgia.  Black leather sofa lounge seating in front, intimate cocktail tables for two against a brilliant red wall of woven paper, eclectic latin influenced music, plus a “floating island pagoda” surrounded by a water feature with changing lights that sends ripples of color up the surrounding walls, makes PISCO a thoroughly contemporary spot for a casual drink, light pre or post performance meal or a large group together.
