Hazie's: Hayes Valley Bar and Kitchen

Hazie’s is the newest culinary gem in San Francisco’s stylish Hayes Valley, bringing together vibrant energy, approachable sophistication, and the creative touch of celebrity chef Joey Altman. Designed as both a neighborhood hangout and a dining destination, Hazie’s celebrates California’s diverse flavors through handcrafted, contemporary cooking made with the finest seasonal ingredients. It’s the kind of place that feels equally right for a casual weeknight dinner, a lively weekend brunch, or late-night drinks with friends.

The menu, crafted by Altman in collaboration with Hat Trick Hospitality, offers a modern yet unfussy take on California cuisine. Guests can dive into an array of small plates perfect for sharing—think elevated comfort food and inventive bites that nod to local influences—alongside hearty mains, crisp salads, and indulgent desserts. Every dish reflects Altman’s signature style: bold, balanced flavors that spotlight high-quality produce and a chef’s knack for refinement without the ego.

At the bar, Hazie’s keeps things just as exciting, with a lineup of colorful, Instagram-worthy cocktails that blend fresh ingredients and playful presentation. Whether it’s a seasonal spritz, a twist on a classic, or one of their creative zero-proof concoctions, every glass is designed to impress both the palate and the camera. Paired with a buzzing atmosphere and friendly service, it’s the kind of spot where locals linger long after the plates are cleared.

True to the spirit of Hayes Valley, Hazie’s captures the neighborhood’s effortless cool—stylish but relaxed, social but not scene-y. With its mix of great food, inventive drinks, and a space that buzzes with good conversation, Hazie’s quickly proves itself as more than just a restaurant; it’s a gathering place that embodies the best of San Francisco dining culture today.
