ABOUT HOLY GRAIL
Located in the former home of Mayes Oyster House, Holy Grail rekindles the spirit of San Francisco’s second oldest dining establishment... The beautiful dining room is dominated by 19th century church stained glass, a copper ceiling, exquisite woodwork, and a beautiful open fireplace. 19th century chic is freaked with life size paintings of rock-stars-as-saints (or sinners) like Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendricks, Dahli Lama, Ghandi, etc by graf legend DOZE and other local artists to match "Saints & Sinners" theme of the Holy Grail. The restaurant turns into a bubblin bar and nighclub after dark. Holy Grail is much more than a restaurant; it's an experience like no other. holygrail.com
