Bite Bar, a new concept from longtime San Francisco hospitality figures Louis Caputo and Jeffrey Grannis, is getting ready to open at 2367 Market Street.
The new bar concept is set to move into the former home of Bisou Bistronomy, according to a recent liquor license application. While an exact opening date has not been announced, customers can likely expect a casual bar experience. Specific menu and concept details have not yet been released.
Caputo and Grannis are no strangers to the San Francisco nightlife scene. One year ago, the couple took over The Café, a Castro nightclub at 2369 Market Street, next door to the upcoming Bite Bar. Caputo has been part of The Café for decades, progressing from floor staff to general manager over more than 20 years, while Grannis joined him in 2007.
The Café originally opened in 1976 as The Café San Marcos and has gone through multiple ownership changes and remodels. The venue hosts weekly events, including Latin-themed nights and RuPaul’s Drag Race viewing parties. Caputo and Grannis promised to continue these traditions while maintaining a community-focused, inclusive space when they took over ownership.
Minor internal and external upgrades are expected at the Bite Bar site before opening. The project represents the latest effort from Caputo and Grannis as they build on their long-standing presence in San Francisco hospitality. While details remain limited, Bite Bar will continue to emphasize community engagement and locally rooted nightlife experiences.
