Located in Union Square, John’s Grill has been an iconic San Francisco restaurant since it first opened in 1908. Its current owner, John Konstin, spoke to us about the restaurant itself — which has been in his family since the 1960s — and the Union Square neighborhood. John’s Grill is a gathering place for writers, politicians, firefighters, police officers, regular working people, and even celebrities; it is one of the anchors that make the City by the Bay whole. Join us as we delve into the history of John’s Grill and learn about what makes it such a beloved San Francisco institution. Meet John Konstin!
