Last night Chef Michael Mina and four-time NBA Champion and entrepreneur Stephen Curry celebrated the grand openings of Bourbon Steak San Francisco and The Eighth Rule, inside the landmark Westin St. Francis on Union Square.

The evening began with a grand cable car arrival on Powell street as Mina, Curry, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, Westin St. Francis General Manager Clif Clark, and Strategic Hotels & Resorts CEO Andre Zotoff rolled up to Union Square in true San Francisco style. In lieu of a ribbon cutting, a giant silver bison ridden by a cowboy marked the opening in unforgettable fashion.

Guests—including Ayesha Curry, E-40, Michelin-starred Chef Dominique Crenn, and members of the Golden State Warriors—celebrated with live jazz, dance performances, and signature dishes from Bourbon Steak San Francisco, including Wagyu steak, Truffle Cavatelli, and Caviar Twinkees. At The Eighth Rule, MINA Group Beverage Director Anthony Attanasio poured bourbon-forward cocktails and rare spirits for the 500-person celebration.
