COCKTAILS

Gabe Chavez & Ken Kawachi

Ken has helped open many bars in SF over the years working his way up from the bottom and is absolutely a hospitality forward individual. Curating good drinks and happy times for patrons is of the utmost importance as well as not taking yourself too seriously and living life kind of silly.

Gabe is a former chef and now a bar operator in the Bay Area. He is the general manager at Last Rites and spends the rest of his time as a writer and musician.

From Last Rites:

"Gabe is one of the driving forces behind Last Rites' cocktail program. His passion, creativity, and relentless work ethic have helped shape and elevate their offerings. Gabe's dedication recently earned him a spot as a finalist for Punch Magazine's best new bartender award, a testament to his innovative spirit and commitment to excellence. Beyond his talent, Gabe brings a fresh perspective and a contagious enthusiasm that uplifts everyone around him. His kindness, humility, and eagerness to learn make him a remarkable bartender and an invaluable team member."

FOOD

Chef Keisuke Akabori is the mastermind behind Casa de Kei, a Bay Area based pop-up concept. After many years of working as a chef in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Barcelona, he pours all his creativity and knowledge into his revolving menus.
