About

Tucked away in the heart of Cow Hollow without any overt signage, the Brazen Head bills itself as "a place worth finding". A San Francisco favorite of both locals and visitors since opening its doors in 1980, the Brazen Head has an old-school vibe with its dark wood paneling, dim lighting, and stained glass accents. Exclusively offering dinner service, their doors stay open until the early morning hours, making it a prime spot for night owls to get a meal or some drinks. Their menu features an assortment of classic American and steakhouse fare, such as filet mignon, double cut pork chop, salmon sliders, chicken Marsala, and the Brazen Burger. House specialties include the French onion soup, baked escargot, and NY strip pepper steak. The full service bar has plenty of beer, wine, and cocktails to choose among, and the bar area is always a lively scene for friends old and new. Stop by the Brazen Head and discover why this unassuming spot has been charming the Bay Area for over 30 years.

  • I have gone to The Brazen Head for many years. It is always an excellent experience. The eclectic nature of the dining room, great bar and consistently wonderful food. The BEST French Onion Soup! The service is always fantastic.
