Curio is a bar and restaurant that honors all things unconventional. Located next to The Chapel, the Mission’s most prominent performance venue, the space brings together some of life’s greatest pleasures – well-crafted cocktails, regional American food, and live music. The eclectic space draws inspiration from the building’s past as a mortuary, exploring the mysterious themes of life and time.

Fantastic food. We love to dine here before shows next door at The Chapel. Very convenient! This time we had our daughter with us from out-of-town which made a great time for all. We saw the show from Cactus Blossoms which was very fun! We’ll be back next week for another!

Curio SF has an amazing staff, amazing food, and just overall spectacular vibes. The outdoor patio is nice and intimate and the different bar spaces each have their own personality. The venue is great for shows (The Chapel), but don’t sleep on Curio for brunch, dinner, or drinks!!!

could have been because there was a show that night at the chapel- but the food was terrible and slow to come out. we got appetizers - so bad we decided not to order anything else but drinks. we had the. spring rolls- which was tasteless and should have been called spring roll. 1 tiny roll cut into 5 small pieces. we got fried calamari which was over fried and none could find the calamari. we orderd something else, but it never got delivered. we did sit in the bar area, and the drink service was good.

Food was underwhelming. I feel it was a tattoo of her priced for what we received. The drink drinks? We’re fantastic! If you’re going for a show at The Chapel? Eat elsewhere but grab a drink at Curio.

Curio was overall a wonderful experience. The food was great, we had the King Oyster Mushroom plate and the Burger plate. They were both incredibly delicious. Smoked potato wedges, yum! The staff was a delight from table to bar and all the way to The Chapel. Thank you for a wonderful night!
