About Us
Our Story
From Bar to Kitchen to Bearing West

Bearing West was founded by John Giuffre and Jeff Hanford with the goal of providing an inclusive space where healthy food and beverages will bring an underserved community together. The outer Sunset District is thirsty for more high quality food, drink, and entertainment. A great opportunity exists to create a fun and adventurous setting for all in the Parkside, Sunset, and city of San Francisco.
