Per Diem - Financial District

On the Grid : Per Diem

"Away from the commuter foot traffic, Per Diem is the place to meet for a casual business lunch or “after work drinks” with friends. The interior is “Gold Rush era” inspired with a nautical touch in the decor. Open for lunch and dinner, Per Diem has a great selection of both small plates and entrées, specifically a hearty charcuterie board and lobster fries. Their cocktail drinks are Per Diem’s strongest offering, featuring a menu that focuses heavily on whisky/whiskey varieties as seen in their Manhattan Project cocktail where you can concoct your personal version of the classic. Though the menu changes seasonal, beverage director, Bree Bojorquez recommends her favorite, Cal Salida (mezcal mixed with citrus) and current special, Rosé Fare (floral infused sparkling mixer). Our tip? Skip out of your last meeting early to hold a table for Happy Hour (4-6p) - the first floor is first come, first serve only." - outlier

Transit Center Location of Per Diem Delayed, But on the Way | Eater SF

"At the 43 Sutter Street location, Per Diem regularly draws a crowd—“in the middle of happy hour, it’s usually three to four deep at the bar,” says beverage director Bree Bojorquez—and highlights from the menu include customizable Manhattans, 12 to 14 wines by the glass, and shared items such as flatbreads, cheese, and charcuterie." - Caleb Pershan

"I've noted Per Diem taking a 3,050-square-foot ground-level retail space on Minna Street (just off 1st Street), where it will likely bring the tartines, lobster fries, and cocktails that have made its 43 Sutter Street location a popular after-work spot." - Caleb Pershan
