At Brucato’s flagship San Francisco distillery, we blend tradition and innovation to produce award-winning amaros and liqueurs. We believe amaro should be an expression of a place, and we take our inspiration from regional landscapes and source many ingredients directly from local producers. Each expression of Brucato Amaro captures a specific landscape: Orchards, Woodlands, and Chaparral. Building on our ethos of creativity and exploration, we continue to develop new and experimental releases. As a company, we honor the diversity of experiences, histories, and identities that make American craft production so vibrant, and we celebrate our community. In that spirit, Brucato Amaro is named after John Brucato, a Sicilian immigrant, who founded the San Francisco Farmers’ Market in 1943, and we hope to continue his legacy of community-building and connecting consumers with incredible products.
Brucato Amaro will launch Bar Brucato - a restaurant and craft cocktail bar - in Spring 2025 at our new distillery in the Mission district. The space consists of 35 seats, plus private dining space, a full kitchen and bar, and a reception area for distillery tours and tastings. Our food program will be a continuation of the Brucato vision - a celebration of unique ingredients and flavors, born from the innovative spirit and diverse culinary traditions that define California. It will be elevated but without pretention, offering exquisite flavors to guests desiring a full meal or those wishing for a small bite alongside a drink. The bar program will showcase our amaros, plus new and special releases, including gins and liqueurs, in both classic and innovative cocktails. It will celebrate seasonality and always complement our our food menu.
We are looking for a highly qualified General Manager who will not only oversee the overall operations of our restaurant and bar but also take charge of leading our innovative cocktail program. This role requires a unique individual who can expertly manage the business while driving quality and creativity behind the bar.
