Hours
Butter is open for business Tuesday through Sunday from 6PM - 2AM* and we proudly serve food during all hours of operation.

Payment
We accept VISA, Master Card, Discover, & American Express. Oh, and we also accept good 'ol CASH. And since SOME people aren't as honest as OTHER people, we don't accept personal checks, but for your convenience, we do have an ATM.

Reservations
Butter does not accept reservations for groups smaller than 20 people. In the event that you're so stuffy that you must eat at a restaurant that requires a reservation you probably won't like Butter anyway - much less get it.

Location
Butter is located at 354 11TH STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94103 (our cross streets are FOLSOM & HARRISON) in San Francisco's South Of Market District, in what is frequently referred to as "The SOMA Club Corridor." We are positioned in the middle of the block directly across the street from such venerable S.F. clubs as Slim's & The DNA Lounge. We're also just a couple of steps to the South of The Paradise Lounge.

Driving Directions Yo, here's the deal. You're trying to get to: 354 11TH STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94103

From the South Bay: Take US-101 North to San Francisco. Take the 9th St. exit towards the Civic Center and Merge onto 9th Street. Turn Left onto Harrison Street. Turn Right onto 11th Street and we're halfway up the block on your left.

From the East Bay: Take I-80 to the Bay Bridge and cross over the Bay to San Francisco. Take the 9th St. exit towards the Civic Center and merge onto 9th Street. Turn Left onto Harrison Street. Turn Right onto 11th Street and we're halfway up the block on your left. From the North Bay: Get yourself onto US 101 South and cross the Golden Gate Bridge.

From the North Bay: Get yourself onto US 101 South and cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Take the Lombard St. exit/US 101, which turns into Richardson Avenue for a couple of blocks, but don't sweat it, just keep going. Richardson then turns into Lombard = no big deal, just keep cruising down Lombard for about a mile. Take a right onto Van Ness Avenue and head south down Van Ness for about 1.5 miles. Then turn left on Fell Street and cross Market Street and maneuver over to the right lane. Turn Right onto Harrison and then turn right onto 11th Street and we're halfway up the block on your left.

Parking
This is San Francisco, 'nuff said. Generally, if you get down here before 8:30PM you can find something but a taxi cab is always your best bet (also getting a cab back out is generally pretty easy). If you do plan on arriving after 8:30PM your best bet is the COSTCO parking lot located only a half block away from Butter. There's a small fee for parking.

Our Neighborhood Butter is located in San Francisco's SOMA (South Of Market) area. A trip to the 11th & Folsom corridor is a trip to one of San Francisco's most lively neighborhoods. By day, the streets are filled with industrial delivery trucks mixed with dot comers (depending on the state of the "New Economy") and by night our area has become synonymous with nighttime fun. SOMA is also home for a lot of folks, so please read the note at the bottom of this page!
