"A group of three Australian restaurant and bar owners will be livin’ it up at the Hotel San Francisco, a new establishment — with no overnight accommodations despite its name, which is an Eagles song reference — that’s headed to 653 Commercial Street. The 1,700 square foot FiDi space, the former Mercedes, will have 75 seats plus a basement lounge below. Drinkers and diners (there will be food) can check out (but never leave?) the bar when it opens later this spring." - Caleb Pershan
