Lead Bartender - Bar Brucato

Brucato Amaro is an independently owned and operated spirits company based in San Francisco. We believe amaro should be an expression of a place. Using traditional Italian methods, we draw 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 of amaros, aperitifs, and gins.

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 will launch Bar Brucato this spring, a craft cocktail bar and restaurant at our flagship distillery in the Mission District. This concept will extend our brand identity and expressions. The space will allow us to connect with our community through restaurant and bar service, as well as public and private events.
