About
PABU Izakaya might look like an upscale sushi den, but it's actually a Japanese gastropub where seafood takes center stage. Situated in San Francisco's Embarcadero, this $$$$ spot draws a mix of 30-somethings through 50-somethings, locals and travelers alike. The crowd is mixed-gaystraight, and the vibe leans quiet and good-for-groups. Cocktails are expertly crafted, and the decor emulates Japanese elegance.
Hours are split: lunch 11am-2pm weekdays, dinner 4pm-9pm daily (Saturday dinner only). However, Yelp data indicates PABU may be permanently closed, so call ahead. If it's open, it's a refined choice for sushi and seafood. For a more casual nearby bite, consider Hog Island Oyster Co.
