Description

Bruno's mid-century retro decor may be reminiscent of the Rat Pack era, but the bar's nocturnal patrons don't come here to indulge in loungey nostalgia -- they line up to hear DJs spin hip-hop, funk, soul, and reggae while sipping fancy highballs in Bruno's two reddish, heavily wooded rooms. During late mornings and early afternoons on weekends, nascent celebrity chef Ryan Scott serves Brunch Drunk Love, a breakfast-and-booze event that caters to highfalutin foodies and hungover revelers alike.

2010 | Best Biscuit

Katharine Zacher, who runs the kitchen at Bruno's with partner Ryan Ostler, has worked as a pastry chef at Boulevard, Quince, and Slow Club. So you know that when she makes a buttermilk biscuit, it's going to be good enough to shame the Pillsbury Doughboy. Handle the nubbly, oven-gilded lump as though it were a Fabergé egg, because you'll crush it with the slightest pressure. Gently peel off a flake, releasing a puff of steam, and drop a dab of honey butter onto the feathery surface... More »
2007 | Best Weekly Live Show

Representatives from the massive Jazz Mafia outfit perform every Tuesday night at Bruno's in the Mission with different incarnations of the collective rotating weekly shifts. There can be 20 heads crowding the tiny stage in the cozy nightclub, depending on who's playing. If it's the Realistic Orchestra, you're looking at an 18-piece jazz, funk, and hip-hop ensemble. The Shotgun Wedding Quintet, who fuse electronic sampling with live instrumentation, require even more space. Other lineups,... More »
2004 | Best Weekly Jazz Jam

Bruno's location, near the quick-beating heart of the Mission District, might be partially responsible for the distinct mix of players that crosses the club's stage. There's a little bit of everything -- from slickly dressed scenesters and burned-out hepcats to boho music students and tenor-wielding street poets. Though the club has recently undergone a booking facelift, now presenting mostly fusion-minded groove bands, the open Monday night session has become one of the most compelling jazz... More »
2001 | Best Cocktail List

While the return of chef James Ormsby to Bruno's is some of the most exciting news to hit the Mission since Ormsby first helped revive the place back in 1995, the thing that really stands out at this swank jazz and supper club is the drink list. Sometimes, a place will offer 10 or even 20 house cocktails, but we don't know anyone who lists a whopping 72 and delivers as splendidly as Bruno's. The beauty of this list is that it reminds you that, instead of a Cosmo-as-usual, what you're really... More »
