The Owners of Foreign Cinema Have Big Plans for the Warfield Building on Market
SF. Business Times reports today that the owners of Mission District eatery Foreign Cinema plan to open a huge, 255-seat restaurant in the vacant Warfield Building at 988 Market (at Taylor), near the Warfield Theater. The restaurant will reportedly sprawl over three stories -- including a speakeasy-style bar in the basement that'll connect to the theater -- and outdoor seating on what reporter J.K. Dineen describes as "a steel-plated canopy 18 feet above the street."
The eatery will take up three floors of the historic building.
The project is said to be financed by developer David Addington, owner of the Warfield, and partner with Foreign Cinema owners Gayle Pirie and John Clark in Show Dogs. Biz Times suggests the restaurant project might give a boost to a measure on the November ballot in San Francisco -- Prop D -- which seeks to revitalize the battered Mid-Market area.
