Presidio Tunnel Tops Getting New Food Hall in 2025
San Francisco’s Presidio Tunnel Tops is getting a brand new food hall, The Mess Hall. coming in 2025, which will be open every day from 8 am to 8 pm.
The Mess Hall and the Presidio Trust are thrilled to announce a long-term lease agreement for 201 Halleck Street within Presidio Tunnel Tops. Having already welcomed over 3 million visitors since its opening in 2022, Presidio Tunnel Tops is the newest attraction within the Presidio. 201 Halleck represents the largest and final food and beverage project to join the park as its only all-day cafe, bar, food hall and retail market – a place where visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the city skyline and gain easy access to everything the Presidio has to offer.
Inspired by the timeless concept of the beloved food hall, the team behind The Mess Hall aims to provide offerings that will be curated to include a range of price points and flavors, ensuring there’s always something for everyone of all ages. This includes fast-casual made-to-order meals, grab-&-go prepared options, and a provisions market featuring local specialties, imported favorites, and picnic essentials.
James Beard Awarded Chef Peter Serpico, by way of his past partnerships with STARR and MOMOFUKU, is spearheading the culinary development of The Mess Hall’s multiple and distinctive food concepts. With a commitment to satisfying the diverse palates of Presidio residents and visitors, Serpico’s involvement promises an experience that will blend exciting menus with a welcoming and enlivened setting.
For guests seeking craft beverages and exciting libations, The Mess Hall’s Bar will be curated by Zach Negin, known for his community-focused stewardship as owner of Tabula Rasa Bar and Shop LA, Silverlake Lounge LA, and partner in Dolores Deluxe, a beloved historic San Francisco corner store. The Bar will offer a meticulously crafted menu featuring an array of cocktails, mocktails, craft beers, and thoughtfully produced wines from around the world. Nate Israel, concept developer and brand management specialist, will oversee the project as director of operations.
The Mess Hall joins a growing array of popular eateries on the Main Post, including Dalida, Colibri, Il Parco, and the Presidio Pop Up food trucks.
