San Francisco’s Hidden Treasure

Gold Bar Whiskey Distillery

Truly a one-of-a-kind experience, the Gold Bar Whiskey Distillery is located in the historic former Pan-Am Airport terminal, originally built in the late 1930s. Steeped in rich history, the space has been transformed into a stunning Art Deco-inspired Distillery and Tasting room - a tribute to the elegance and glamour of a 1930s jazz lounge.

Located on Treasure Island, the Distillery offers sweeping views of the Bay Bridge, the San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz, and the Golden Gate Bridge - with some of the most breathtaking sunsets in the Bay Area.

Join us for a whiskey flight, an immersive cocktail class, a handcrafted cocktail, gourmet coffee or a bite from our delicious food offerings. Looking to host something special? Rent the entire space for a private event unlike any other.

Take the ferry over and make your visit even more unforgettable.

Menus

Beverage Menu

Our cocktail menu is a spirited celebration of California craft, blending Gold Bar Whiskey and Pacific House Gin into bold, flavorful creations. From timeless classics like the Manhattan and Negroni to playful originals like the Golden Mule and Crispy Pig Bloody Mary, every drink is crafted with premium ingredients and a story to tell. Enjoy seasonal flights, zero-proof options, and signature cocktails inspired by the rich aviation and World’s Fair history of Treasure Island. The menu also features a curated selection of local beer and wines.

Food Menu

Our culinary program pays homage to the rich history of Treasure Island and the golden age of travel, when Pan Am’s China Clipper launched transpacific flights from this very location. Inspired by the international flight path, our menu blends global flavors with local California ingredients. Highlights like the Lobster & Crab “Millionaire” Corndog and Hawaiian Poke Bowl nod to World’s Fair nostalgia and Pacific influences, while comforting favorites like grilled cheese and soup dumplings round out a menu built for both adventure and indulgence.
